Warren Barrett & Ruth Fox [NH, VT, OH, IL]
Is anyone researching the Warren Barrett and Ruth Fox family that lived in Lewistown, Fulton Co., IL, from about 1837 through at least 1880? I'd like to identify Warren's parents.
Warren Barrett was born about 1801 in Vermont, poss. Rutland County, and married Ruth Fox 6 Mar 1822 in Ashtabula Co., OH. Ruth was born in New Hampshire, prob. Grafton County. They were in Salem Twp., Ashtabula County for the 1830 census, in Fulton Co., IL, by 1840 and specifically in Lewistown in 1850. Most of the other family members were still there in 1880, although Warren had died.
The Barretts had eight known [or suspected] children. The first five were born in Ohio, the rest in Illinois. All were married in Fulton County except Asa.
1. Asa, b. abt. 1823; m. Julia McCumber, Sangamon Co., IL
2. Lettita, b. abt 1825, m. Frederick Krebaim?
3. Keziah, b. abt 1828, m. Nelson Clifford
4. Preserved [son], b. abt 1831, m. Mary Layton
5. Harriet, b. abt. 1835, m. William Layton?
6. Andrew, b. abt. 1837, m. Olive Hammond
7. Candace, b. abt. 1839, m. Theodore Engle
8. Mary, b. abt. 1841., m. Benjamin Cline
Ruth Fox Barrett was the sister of my 2great-grandmother, Betsy Fox Niles, and there may be a Niles connection to this Barrett family too.
I do have a little more info on the Barrett children and will gladly share.
