Barrett - Newton Co./Neshoba Co., MS
Okay,
After reading all of the Neshoba Co. messages I found no connection to my Newton Co., MS line. However, I am convinced there must be a connection somewhere.
My grandfather was from Newton Co. Spencer Lewis Pierce kept a personal record of relatives & their dates of birth dated 1886. Unfortunately, I don't think he ever thought that anyone else would ever look at his record. The relationship of the persons to him are not listed.
From information in his book & the info. gathered from Michael & Tracie Hoines, I have put together this:
Mary M. Pierce (Newton Co. marriage records has Pierce spelled Pearce) date of birth, 04/30/1855. She married John C. Barrett on 11/10/1880.
As per the Hoines', the following shows in the 1900 Newton Co. census (if you would like their email, just email me & I will forward):
Mary Barrett, servent, living with Wiley H. Grahasm, farmer.
The following children living there also:
Ida Barrett (Grandfather's book list as Ida Bell Barrett, born 09/04/1881)
Luther Barrett (Book list as Luther W. Barrett, born 10/20/1884)
Arthur Barrett (Book list as Arthur W. Barrett, born 02/14/1889)
Lonzo Barrett (Book list as Lonso Comadore - I assumed that Comadore was his last name - I guess my grandfather didn't need to list his last name, because he knew it.) His date of birth listed as 05/16/1890.
If anyone has any information, please email me at [email protected]. I'm not sure of Mary's relationship to my grandfather. Perhaps sister or aunt??
Thanks!Melody Harvey
