Re: Barrentine Cemetery confirmed in Henry Co AL

Mike:Thank you so much for sharing the info you provided.I'm passing it on to others in the family.Also, thought you might like to have the following:marriage record Henry County AL: Delilah Shirley and Judge C. Barrentine, 25 FEB 1872, J.H. Benton MG, page 11, James H. Benton on bond (there was also a previous record: Delilah Shirley & Samuel Parr, not married, page 53, bought 15 Jan 1869 - note: this was the same date that Alexander Free bought a license for his upcoming marriage to Delilah's sister.Perhaps Samuel Parr just thought he'd take the chance...)Also: marriage record: James Sherley (brother of Delilah Shirley)& Ellen Barrentine, 1 Oct 1868 at James Shirley, page 1.Delilah and James W. Shirley's parents were John Shirley b about 1790 SC and Elizabeth (Shumate?) Shirley born about 1794 in GA.They are in the Henry County census and in many courthouse deed records, including one thta describes this cemetery, which I have not yet had the opportunity to visit.More info from a "cousin":Luanza Keels married James H. Barrentine and had 2 sons, John Wesley and James Henry.She previously had a child Sarah Jane Barrentine, according to family story as a result of a "rape" by an Indian.In 1880 Henry Co census Luanza is listed as Lucinza Barntine (a common pronounciation of the name in that area) living next door or near to J.C. Barntine, age 28, with wife Delila age 48 (one of these may be wrong I need to check it) son James D age 6 and mother-in-law Elizabeth Sherley, age 78 also in the household.Helen Andrews of Ozark has suspected that J.C. Barntine listed there may be the brother of her ancestor James H., possibly sons of William Barrentine and wife Susan A. (Susan A. listed living in household as 70 year ols mother-in-law of Lucinza/luanza Barntine.There is more info in the 1870 censusthat seems to confirm some of Helen's suspicions.
