Referring to my summation from yesterday of the Barton & Luke unravelling, RafB@aol.com wrote: > Hello Fr.

Thanks, > Ralph Banks, Austin, TX I think Ralph means Eleanor Thompson -- which can also be put as "Nelly" Thompson. And there is a very good chance that what he says is true: namely, that Missouri's Barton.was the one who married "Nelly" Thompson. Many people think so. The church records of St. Mary of the Barrens calls Barton the son of Luke Mattingly and "Nelly" Cambron. There has been some speculation that Luke's wife was originally a Cambron and married a Thompson prior to marrying Luke. It occurs to me this evening that simpler explanations are possible, that do not require another completely undocumented wedding: 1. The document in question speaks of Barton marrying an Elizabeth Cambron daughter of an undecipherably-named Cambron, has a sponsor named Cambron and has the word Cambron flagged in the margin along with Mattingly. I think the priest easily could have mistakenly put a fith "Cambron" where he should have said "Thompson." 2. Unlike the other records in the Barrens book, this particular record is dated only with a year -- no month and day -- which leads me to believe it was put there sometime after the event and was done from memory -- a memory which had not retained the month and day -- and possibly not retained Barton's mother's correct name. Supporting this thought is the fact that the record has the name of only one parents of the bride, unlke other records in the book which name both parents of the bride. I rest my case. _______________________________________________. May all of you have a blessed Holy Week. Fr. Blaine Just for the record, the Barrens book has the name Cambron misspelled Cambern all five times.
