DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS BARRETT |
Generation No. 1 |
1. THOMAS BARRETT was born Abt. 1845 in Alabama, and died Bef. 1900
in James (Hamilton) County, Tennessee. He married ELIZABETH (maiden name unknown). She was born Abt. 1836 in Georgia, and died Aft.
1900.
The 1850 census of Lawrence County, Alabama (8th
District, page 383, dwelling 263) lists the
family of Robert (age 43) and Margaret Barrett
(age 32). The youngest male in the household
is Thomas R. Barrett, age 1. Six other children
are listed in the household. The 1850 census
of Pickens County, Alabama (Southern Dist.,
pg. 95, dwelling 1253) lists the family of
Samuel (age 58) and Mary Barrett (age 36).
The youngest male in the family is listed
as Thomas J. Barrett, age 3. Six other children
are listed.These are the only Thomas Barretts
listed in the index to the 1850 Alabama census.
There is a chance that one of these two Thomases
is our Thomas Barrett but there is no evidence
to link either to Thomas Barrett of James
County, Tennessee.

2. i. THOMAS M. BARRETT, b. February 1868,
Tennessee; d. Abt. 1931, possibly Boynton, Oklahoma.

2. THOMAS M. BARRETT ( THOMAS1)

Abt. 1931 in possibly Boynton, Oklahoma. He married
ELIZA J. (maiden name unknown)
Abt. 1888 in Tennessee. She was born August 1871
in Georgia. Thomas and family moved to Oklahoma
some time after 1900. Thomas and Eliza probably
died near Boynton, Muskogee County, Oklahoma.
Family legend states they are buried near Boynton.
Family legend also says that Thomas maintained
a second wife and family in Texas while still
married to Eliza. I have found no evidence
to support this, but I do not rule it out.
