O.D., Lynn, Donny and Peggy, This is really beginning to start to make sense to me. Centerville Baptist is located about 2.5 miles from my place in Carroll County. It is where most all my people are buried, and the Barrentine's own a lot of land around the church, cemetery and miles around. Matter of fact, I think it was William Albert Barrentine, Sr. who gave the land for the cemetery to either be created or expanded. I have known these folks all my life, and could tell you some stories about them - ha. If we need to, I can get in touch with those living Barrentine's and see if they can give me any information regarding this family - especially the Adelbert Barrentine. Thanks, O.D., for reminding me of his burial place. If I was back home I know I could make some progress on this. But I can sure do some contacting by phone, and I will do that in the next week or so. Wouldn't it be great if I could find some family photos for Lynn and Robert??? Ken -----Original Message----- Lynn and Ken, I really doubt that we will ever get any more hard facts about Tabatha and the Barrentine that was Delbert's father. But you can bet we now have the correct man... Ulysses Adelbert Barentine 24 September 1874-12 June 1893 Buried in Centerville Cemetery, Carroll County, Mississippi O.D.

I went to find a grave and looked up Centerville Cemetery in Carroll Cty. There I found this information: R.L. and C.A. Barrentine had these children (at least these are the ones buried in the cemetery): Ulysses Adelbert - born 9/21/1874, died 6/12/1893 Azariah G. - born 9/1876, died 6/22/1887 Christopher C. - born 7/25/1880, died 6/5/1887 Joseph - born 6/28/1885, died 6/20/1887 Nathan Lewis - born 4/13/1890, died 1/30/1901 R. Wesley - born 2/18/1887, died 9/17/1895 R.L. Barrentine was born 10/11/1843, died 5/30/1934 and is buried in the Poplar Springs Cemetery. Now, my question is this. What in the world happened in June 1887 to cause 3 of there children to die within days of each other? Is that not strange?
