They were (Doc) Rolf ? Barnes, and Mattie Shaw Barnes, so it is believed. As of yet I have not attained any proof of that. My great grandmother, Mary Jane Linn Hanes', mother was Susie Barnes Linn. She was born ABT 1880. Walked the trail of tears as a child, then moved from OK/ Tex line area. Which I believe was Eufala? I just don't have much on her/them... I'm curious, to the possibility that your Mary may have been a sibling of my gggrandmother, Susie Barnes. I did find out where she is buried: Bixby Cemetery, Bixby, OK. She died ABT 1953. I will send off for her death certificate soon. I am told there is a historical home somewhere in OK???? (I hate that) That was the family home. They were of Choctaw decent and "Doc" was some sort of healer and Mattie was a midwife. My grandmother told me, they were Indian doctors, using herbs and chants.. etc. My ggrandmother, Mary Jane Linn, talked about h! > ow much she hated going along to help her mother, prepare the body of the recently deceased, kinda like a mortition... except, she'd go to their home. The kin was kept in the house for the "funeral/viewing". And often buried on the family property. I'm sure you knew that. That's why there are so many little cemeteries, huh? > Anyway, that is truly a bummer the MAC family is too "busy/ stubborn/ lazy" or whatever to answer your simple request. Seems quite cruel, actually. > Hoping this finds you well, Jill > > > ==== MCINTIRE Mailing List ==== > Don't be shy. Post all you have on your Mc's.
