Surnames: BARRINGER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/1221 Message Board Post: Am trying to verify information from a Barringer family history that William Gaston Barringer, son of Paul B. Barringer & Mary Carson, served in the Civil War from MS and was killed at Murfreesboro, TN. Paul B. Barringer, son of Paul M. Barringer of Cabarrus Co. NC, moved to MS prior to 1850 and settled on the "Chickasaw Purchase" lands in what was then Pontotoc Co. He was listed in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses of Lafayette Co. MS. He served in the MS State Legislature and died in 1878. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
