Hi Wayne: This is exciting! My family left Buckingham Co. right about 1819 for Barren Co. I have some of the Barren Censues, probably including the 1850. The Barnet and Susannah (could this be Stanton, rather than Staton?) is very interesting. Why, because my J. Bernard was sometimes called Barnett, or Barlett, possibly confusing him with James Bartlette Nunnally. The second son of my John Bernard Nunnally and his Ballow wife was Nelson W. Nunnally, who left KY for IN, then settled in IL where he became a State Rep., then Senator. Nelson m. Letitia STANTON Hicklin, who was said by desc. to have been b. in TN and orphaned at an early age and "raised by a family in KY". She was also said to have been a Morgan and a cousin of the Boones. I just learned that she had been the daughter of Lewis Byrum Stanton and his wife, Elizabeth Smith. The Hicklin baffles me so far...could be the name of her adoptive family or and early first marriage. A young fellow lived with them named Francis Hicklin. He was in the Civil War ands his record says he was the son of Francis Marion Hicklin. Now as to Susannah...my William Thomas Ballou, the sone of Charles of Cumberland Co., VA, who removed to another Co. (darnit it won't come to mind right now) anyway, Wm. Thomas married Susannah Hatcher Bransford...coincidence. This Wm. Thomas was appointed by Jeff Davis to head up the Halifax Co., yes that's it, army. Incidentally, I have not only visited Barren Co., which I love, but there is a copy of a little booklet on the "Ballou, Ballew, etc. family of VA and the Southern States" in the Mary Weldon Library, written by my research partner and me. I am also a desc. of Thomas White. Do you know Joe Taylor who lives there? He is a nice guy and fellow Nunnaly descendant I have corresponded with. Jean
