I just joined the list and am seeking info on my family that was in McNairy County. I am looking for info on the Burchett family, or Birchett, depending on who happened to write it down. I'm also looking for Barnes, since they married into the Burchett family. John Burchett was born Jan. 1, 1782 in North Carolina. He died Feb. 29, 1852, probably in McNairy County. John was married to Martha Barnes b: Nov. 14, 1797 d: Oct.30, 1847. They had three sons that I know of: James, Dennis and John, all born in Tennessee. I am descended from Dennis Burchett who was married to Mahalia Barnes. Dennis Burchett was born in 1819 and died sometime before 1880 in Arkansas. Mahalia Barnes was born in 1821 in TN. I do not know marriage dates or date of her death, but she would have been living in Arkansas at that time. Dennis and Mahalia had seventeen children, so I won't list them all. Dennis' brother James was married to Agnes Virginia Rowland. If any of these folks look familiar or you have any info on either the Burchetts or Barnes families, I'd certainly like to hear from you. Thanks, Randall Baker
