Can anyone help the lady below with her Barnett family? I've already written her that birth records for Wayne County don't begin until 1908. Jerry W.

His name was Joseph James Vincent Barnett, born: Nov., 1873. His father was also born in Tennessee. His name was: James Allen Barnett,,..born:1846. He married Mary Ann Dobbs or Dabbs in Wayne county Tennessee Oct 22, 1868. One of these grandfathers was married to a full blooded indian, Cherokee I think, and he was an Irishman. Could you tell me how I would go about getting birth certificates on these two grandfathers? This is as far back as I can go. I do know that one of these grandfathers or the one before was in the group driven to Oklahoma. My grandfather was very unhappy with the conditions up there and loaded his family and belongings on a wagon one night and moved back to Arkansas. My father was killed in a hunting accident when I was eleven years old (1953) and I don't know any of my relatives on my fathers side that I can get any information from. Thank you for any help you can give me. Norma Wahington state
