I plan on keeping information on here regarding the Barrett Genealogy and everything that is going on with it, including but not limited to research, reunions, etc.
I have been researching the Barrett family for over 15 years now and am about ready to print a book for family members. I can always use updated information about the family. Don’t worry, I will not publish sensitive material that could leave a person vulnerable.
The main characters in our family story are Cyrus and Susannah (nee Zettelmeyer) Barrett and Cyrus’ brother Elias and his wife Betsy (nee Herbst) Barrett.
Cyrus and Susannah were both born in 1797 in Pennsylvania and died in Williams County, Ohio, where they moved their large family in the late 1830s. Their youngest son, William H, was the first white child born in their township (Madison) in Williams County, Ohio. The Barrett family were prominent in their area, even serving as the county commissioners. The town they lived in is Kunkle, Ohio. It was at one time known as Barrett Corners. The Barretts had the largest house and barn in the township. For more info, feel free to contact me (aunt_sande@yahoo.com) about the book I am writing regarding their lives, or just leave a message here.
Below you can see a copied print of their house and farm…it isn’t a very good copy but you get the idea…
Under Son of Harley H. Barrett, Son Harley Barrett is married to “Lennie” not Lynnie. Also, Daughter of Lennie and Harley – Deborah – last name is spelled “Causseaux”, married Bruce Causseaux not “Caussex”.
email address for Harley Barrett, Jr is hbarrett823@aol.com. He lives in Hurst, Tx.
I will fix those two issues. The info I got is what I put. I know it’s been eons since I checked in here, been very busy!
