Deanne-
Your post came to us just recently.Sorry for the delay.
My mother Rosemary Barrett Kane is the oldest child of William
Barrett.Her sister is Gertrude Freeman. Both Rose and Gertrude are deceased.If your great grandfather is related to William A and if his name was John then he is William's
step son and half brother to Rose and Gertrude. John was the son of Rose Timmons from and earlier marriage. Her husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. (or so the story goes)
John was adopted by William after his marriage to Rose Timmons. He and his sons from his first marriage kept in touch with Congressman Barrett when he was in Washington.
I'm not sure where you might fit in to the family tree but we can try and help you piece it together.
Rose had 7 children and as you can imagine its busy just keeping up with all of us.
Gertrude had 3 children. Her daughter predeceased her but her sons are still in the greater DC area.
Feel free to follow up with us.
