Hi, again, Lee:
Don't you find it VERY strange that the last child you show, Nancy, supposedly was born in 1824 when Barbary was only 27 years of age and she was the youngest child?Since Hugh didn't die until 1845, I strongly suspect that there were other children--probably several other children.I went to the downtown Denver Public Library today and looked up the Barbary Patrick shown on the 1850 Wayne County, MO, census and her youngest child was Merida, shown as age 8, which would have been just about right I think to have been the last child of Hugh Patrick and Barbary Bailey Patrick.I suspect that you obtained the list of their children from Dr. Lee Wellington Patrick's booklet on the Patrick family in KY/AR and elsewhere.I think that his list is very likely incomplete.I think that there's a very good possibility that the Merida Patrick buried in the Patrick Cemetery in Madison County, AR, and who served in the Civil War may have been Barbary Patrick's Merida.I think that he was back in Madison County in 1860 living with an older woman and that one of his sisters was also living with them.His age matches up with the Merida on the 1850 Wayne County, MO, census.

If Barbary Bailey Patrick didn't leave Madison County, why didn't she appear on the 1850 census in Madison County?Let me know what you think about this and also please let me know where you obtained the names of Hugh's and Barbary's children.I suspect that they came out of one of the Patrick books.I never take what other people have come up with as gospel unless they provide very good documentation.I saw very little documentation on anything in Dr. Patrick's book.I'm looking forward to receiving the two-volume set of books on the Eastern KY Patrick's from the Magoffin County Historical Society.
