Surnames: Barnett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JgB.2ACE/1078 Message Board Post: I am trying to compile a family history. But I understand that the 1890 U.S. census for Tennessee is a "census fragment" because of a fire that destroyed most of the records in the state capital. Is there a copy of the 1890 census other than in Tennessee? I am trying to find information about my great-grandparents Spencer Barnett and his wife Nancy. They lived in Jackson and later in Bemis (1910). They had two daughters, my grandmother Mamie A. Barnett (later Taylor), and a second daughter. No one living or recently dead ever knew the younger daughter's name. The daughters were still children in 1890. Can anyone help? Does anyone have acccess to the 1900 census for Madison County? They might be listed there. Spencer was a farmer. Both he and Nancy were mulattos. Thank you kindly.
