On Sat., Jan 5, Vicky wrote: "following surnames in Moore County. Williams, Fields, Copeland, Fry, Sowell, Barrett" I have been researching the Barrett/Sowell lines. My great great grandmother was Nancy Ann Barrett Alexander (@1829 - after 1870, before 1880). Her parents were John Allston Barrett and Elizabeth Hancock. John's parents were William Barrett and Ann Sewell/Sowell. The information I have for this line was given to me by a really wonderful lady out there who has done much research and documentation on this line. I would be happy to share by e-mail on this site or privately...just let me know. Also, how do you connect to these lines? Perhaps we can combine our info for a more complete picture.
