Doris, I'm taking your message to the list, I find it very interesting. Hope you don't mind. I found Creed Frazier married with children: looks as if there were 2 Creed Fraziers, can you send me the parents of Creed and Wiley please. I'd like to hear more about the pardon form John Barnett. John was my cousin, he shot and killed Creed and Willie Frazier, later got > out of prison on conditional pardon in Kingsport, where he lived. His and > Lola's son got drunk and put a silk stocking over his head and tried to rob > John, not knowing who he was John shot and killed him Which one of John's son did that? John was also my cousin, Eli Barnett was a brother to my John Barnett,Sr. Are you contact with Harry Penley, if so please ask him to call Jean Pierson at 540-386-7858 to arrange a date and time to go to the court house. Bet they know each other already. Ok Doris, what is your line? Looks as if we are related as well. Oh happy days.... are here again. Jean Brand 2254 W.
