Surnames: BARRINGER, PICKENS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/1221.1 Message Board Post: In his book "Lafayette County Legacy", by Walter Coffey, the author/compiler provides extracts of all the Confederate soldiers who enlisted in Lafayette County, MS. There is only one BARRINGER in the entire book, and he is not Walter Gaston, but Paul BARRINGER. The service record reads "2nd Lt. Barringer, Paul - Enrolled at Oxford for the war by Captain Smith on July 31, 1861 when 24 years old. In November 1861 Lt. Barringer was absent from the 6th by Order No 17 for 30 days. Sick leave expired and he applied for an extension which was granted through April 30, 1862. More information in record S. O. No. 17-4 under Army of Mississippi file dated May24, 1862. He was promoted to 2nd Lt. April 7, 1862. Barringer submitted his resignation as an officer account of ill health on February 8, 1862 (sic). The letter was addressed to Hon. S. Cooper, Adjutant General CSA." Other info of possible interest to you, from the "Lafayette County Heritage" book published by the Skipwith Hist. & Gen. Soc, page 176, "In 1858, P. B. Barringer administered the will of the late James R. Calloway. In this will, Mt. Zion Church was given four acres of land to be used as a church seat and, at this time, a frame building was erected about 200 yards east of the old log building. In 1861, P. B. Barringer deeded to the trustees of Mt. Zion Church two and one half acres of ground, adjoining the first four acres, to be used as a burying ground." Same book, page 64, "At a called session (April 1838, First Presbyterian Church of Oxford), . . . Mary Barringer, wife of Paul Barringer" was admitted to the churh by letter. According to the book "Early Settlers of Lafayette County, Mississippi", page 23, P. W. Barringer succeeded James Craig to the Legislature in 1841. Ibid, page 32, A. B. Barringer bought lots in the town of Wyatt, MS. Ibid, page 48, P. W. Barringer owned 1800 acres of land valued at $4,000 in 1860. However, on page 94, the list of landowners shows the land was valued at $7,000 and that he had $2,660 worth of farm implements, and that he harvested 2,500 bushels of corn and 11 bales of cotton. Right above him is listed Mrs. W. D. Barringer as owner of 240 acres of land valued at $1,200, with farm implements valued at $370; harvested 350 bushels of corn and no cotton. Saving the best for last, I checked the cemetery records and found several of the family buried in St. Peter's Cemetery, Section 5, in Oxford, MS. There is a headstone for William Gaston Barringer which reads "son of P. B. and R. M., b. 5 October 1844, d. 1 January 1863, a private Co. B. 30 REG. Miss Vols. He fell mortally wounded in the Battle of Murfreesboro." Other related headstones: Paul Brandon Barringer, d. 4 March 1878, age 58 yrs.)one Mary Pickens Barringer, d. 13 Jan 1880, age 66 yrs. )stone Paul Barringer, born in Pontotoc, 31 January 1837, d. 24 June 1872. Daniel M. Barringer, second son of P. B. and M. P., b. 18 Marcyh 1841, d. 21 July 1855. I hope this helps a little; good luck.

Kim, Cemetery records of Lafayette Co. give a little information that may help you with this family group. Specifically, The Abbeville Cemetery listing records these burials: John W. Shearer, b. 1871, d. 1939 Annie P. Shearer, b. 1876, d. 1943 (above on a double headstone) Charles J. Shearer, b. 29 August 1876, buried in Friendship, Tenn Sallie Frances Shearer, b. 12 August 1867, d. 2 October 1935, 1st wife (above on a double headstone) Next in the Palestine Cemetery are: Lee Shearer, husband of Beulah, b. 29 September 1886, d. 20 January 1929 and M. E. Shearer, wife of S. A., b. 10 August 1849, d. 12 December 1891. Could this be Mary E. Smith Shearer, wife of Stephen A. Shearer? Could Lee be another child of Stephen and Mary? By the way, the Palestine Cemetery was in Lafayette County until 1872 when a portion of the SE corner of the county was ceded to Yalobusha County so that all of the Mississippi Central Railroad yards at Water Valley would be in the same county/tax district. Hence, you will find the family in both counties, though they never moved. I checked the Will abstracts for Yalobusha county and found one will that might be of interest to you, as follows: Will of Joseph SHEARER, page 40, Will Book 1, Second District (Water Valley court house): Sons- Joseph N. Shearer, George W. Shearer, William A. J. Shearer; Grandson- Wm. Frederick Shearer; Bequeaths to - Dicy Ann Adams, Stephen ?___?; Witnesses - John Young, Margaret Shearer, T. B. Abbey, H. A. Crofford. Probated July 1884. Marriage bond book K, page 128, Lafayette County, MS J. W. Shearer & Annie Shipp, 26 September 1894 R. A. Burroughers, Minister of the Gospel, officiated. Marriage bond book B, page 170, Yalobusha County, MS; Water Valley court house William J. Shearers (sic) & Manervia Jane Lewis, 22 Dec 1896 E. D. Williams, Elder, officiated. Next are a few obituaries in the N. MS area which may or may not relate to this family: ===================================================== Obituary, The Clarion-Ledger: February 20, 2004 Phyllis Annette Shearer Gulfport, Mississippi Phyllis Annette Shearer, 57, died Thursday, February 12, 2004, at her home.

Phyllis was a long-time Government Service employee. She worked for the Social Security Administration in Jackson and New York City. She also worked for the Internal Revenue Service in Jackson, Tupelo and Gulfport for approximately 30 years. Phyllis was of the Baptist faith. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

My great grandfather was married 3 times. His name was Jacob Silas Haney. The first time was to Martha Frances Adair on Jan. 3, 1886 and the third time to Ellen Franklin in 1909, both in Lafayette Co. The second time was between 1901 and 1906, in Lafayette Co. as well. I would appreciate if someone could find out the second wife's name and the date of the marriage. Jacob (J.S. Haney)is listed in a 1906 book "Educable Children in Lafayette Co." or something like that. Living with him are several children that are not from his first or third wife.
