This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Barnes, Sherrill Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xUB.2ACE/4244 Message Board Post: I'm seeking info about the William Barnes Sr. household, which was in Upper Wiikes in the 1860 census and in the Little River township of Caldwell County in 1850. Family consists of husband William and wife Margaret, daughters, Susan or Susanna, Sarah, Martha and Charity, and sons, William, John and Peter. In 1860, William Jr. is also in Upper Wilkes and married. His wife's name is illegible on the census form, but it appears it starts with a M. They have a daughter Mary, who is 4 months old at time of census. I'm particularly interested in learning more about daughter Sarah to determine if she is my ggggrandmother. There may be a connection to the family of William and Charity Sherrill. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, KD Hatton

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Barnes, Hatton, Livingston, Pennell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xUB.2ACE/4243.1 Message Board Post: Hello KD Hatton, I think I may be able to help you out with some information about Sarah Hatton and her family. First of all, Sarah Hatton's maiden name was Barnes. Sarah Barnes married Charles W. (Charley) Hatton on November 29, 1860. Charles died before 1880 and left Sarah as a widow to care for their three children. Their three children were Thomas H. Hatton, Milton C. Hatton and John C. Hatton. Thomas H. Hatton married Margaret Elizabeth "Sis" Pennell, daughter of Wesley "Wes/West" Pennell and Celia Alice White. Milton C. Hatton married Mary Elizabeth Livingston. Milton later abandoned Mary Elizabeth Livingston and married another woman from Burke County, North Carolina. Milton changed his last name to Pennell and remained in Burke County until his death. Milton and Mary had four daughters and one son. Their names were Brookie Hatton Barlow(e), Bertha Lou Hatton Gilbert, Beulah Hatton Gilliard, Lucy Hatton Walsh and John Finley Hatton. Milton and his second wife, Josie Gilbert! had two children. Their names were Oscar Pennell and Cora Pennell Feimster. Milton's father was an unknown Pennell, so that is the reason Milton changed his name from Milton C. Hatton to Milton C. Pennell. In the 1880 Caldwell County, NC Federal Census, Sarah is living in the Kings Creek Township close to Wesley Pennell's family and Henry H. Pennell's family. Wesley Pennell was the father-in-law to Thomas H. Hatton as Thomas married Margaret Elizabeth "Sis" Pennell. Henry H. Pennell was a son of Wesley Pennell and a brother to Margaret Elizabeth "Sis" Pennell. I have copies of Milton C. Pennell's obituary notice in the "The News-Herald" newspaper from Morganton, Burke County, NC and also a copy of Milton C. Pennell's death certificate from the Burke County, NC Register Of Deeds Office. Finally, I also have a copy of Milton Hatton and Mary Elizabeth Livingston marriage certificate which is a marriage listing that has very little details. I also have other obituary notices, death certificates and marriage certificates for some of Milton and Mary's children. There is a Mary Hatton listed as being buried at Kings Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, so this may be Milton's first wife. Thomas H. Hatton's wife, Margaret Elizabeth "Sis" Pennell is also buried at Kings Creek Baptist Church Cemetery right beside her parents, Wesley and Celia (Selia) Pennell. Milton C. Pennell (Hatton) is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Morganton, Burke County, NC. It is unknown where Sarah Barnes Hatton and her husband Charles W. (Charley) Hatton are bur! ied at but I would guess in either Burke County, Caldwell County or Wilkes County in North Carolina. If you would like any of the above documents, then please feel free to send me a personal e-mail and I'll be glad to share these items with you and your family through snail mail or e-mail attachments. I hope some of the above information is helpful and useful in your family research. Best regards, Michael Jay Pennell Caldwell County, Lenoir, NC powerpennell21@yahoo.com

I need to expand further on my remarks below. We have access to a Bible record that states several of the Wm. Stubblefield children were born "on the Yadkin River in Wilkes Co., NC".

Hello, I'm new to this list, and researching the surname BYRD. Does anyone have the book, "Wilkes Co. NC Taxables" by Samuel E. Sebastian? If so, I would appreciate a lookup of all the Byrd/Bird's for the years 1782-1805. I hope that this is not too much to ask, and, I'm not in a hurry-- just hoping someone out there can help. Thank you in advance and best wishes to all. Marla Moore

Caldwell County also has a heritage museum in Lenoir; there might be some stuff there.

Check with Amazon.com, they usually have some books that are used and new. I found all my Foxfire books on there, used and got them at a decent price. It is a little cheaper than ebay on some things.
