Mary "Polly" Barnett married Charles Isham on 8 Mar 1818 Roane. The 1850 census of Roane, household #1665 shows: ISHAM, Polly 54 NC (no land value shown) ", Preston 26 TN farmer ", John B. 24 TN ", Geo. W. 22 TN ", Joel E. 21 ", Elijah 20 TN ", Martha J. 18 TN ", Mary 17 TN They are living near #1663 Elisha Martin 62 VA, land value 1200, and Catharine 64 VA In the Martin household is a Geo Blackwell 15, TN, who I would think might be the son of Alpha BARNETT and George W. Blackwell (Sr). [George Blackwell Sr. had died, and Alpha married secondly, Samuel Silvey, Jr. in 1846] Alpha and Mary Polly Barnett are daughters of the Rev. War soldier, Carter Barnett. Does anyone have any further information on these folks--correct dates of birth/death, etc.? Pat McDonald [email protected] http://www.roanetn.com
