I am in search of info on William H. Gillum and Susan Barnett that came to Breathitt Co. KY Abt. 1857 or 1858 from Scott Co. VA. I think that Susan’s father was James William Barnett. I would love to find something on Susan’s family. She was born abt. 1824. If you can help I would love to hear back from you. Thank you,
I have been serching lately and I think the father of Susannah “Susie” Barnett b-1828, was James Barnett, Sr and mother was Mrs. Mary Rebecca Barnett. Her brother would have been James, jr. who married Jane Williams. There has been some confussion as to whether she is the daughter of one James or the other. James Jr was married in about 1828 so Jane Williams would have only been about 13 in 1826. On the other side, Mary Rebecca would have been 43 in 1826.
What are your thoughts?
This lady in the photo was believed to be indian(cherokee I think) .In the original picture you can see some beads that she wore all the time and they do look indian.She was believed to have been abandoned as a small child,found by the Barnetts and raised as their daughter.My relatives in Roanoke Virginia have the original picture of her and have done the family tree at some lenghth.It would be interesting to see the full history of this lady!!

Searching for more information on 2 of William Gillum & Susannah Barnett’s children;
(1) Martha b-1852 could this be the bride of Ira Sparkman? They had 3 children, Phillip, Ailee or Haley and ?Mary. They were raised by Sparkmans after Ira’s death. Martha re-married but I do not know to whom. Ailee Sparkman married Felix Wells.
(2) Esther b- 1859 could this be the bride of Amos Bays? They moved from Kentucky to Ohio and had 2 children, Oscar Clay Bays and Charlotte Mae Bays. she probably died bef 1890 because he remarried Emma Salyer. Oscar, Charlotte and 2 more children are listed on 1900 census with Amos and Emma, showing they had been married 10 years. Amos moved back and forth from Ohio to Kentucky where he was born as was all of his wives. (He was married 2 times before Esther and 2 times after Emma.) I assume Emma died bef 1910 because Amos is on the 1910 census with Emma’s 2 children and no Emma.
Anyone able to confirm or dispute?

Still searching on Susannah Barnett b-1826 VA and William Gillum. Does anyone know if Susannah ties into this Margaret Barnett’s (pic) family. I have Susannah’s parents as James Barnett & Mary Rebecca Gillum. Can anyone confirm this?
