hello, Pearl,you are right on one account....there were ALLOT of Williams and Thomas' in Cannon Co., TN
without much else to go on I can give you only some guesses for these individuals:
in the 1860 Cannon Co., TN census on image 125, households 860/860 and 861/861 you will find the following individuals:
#860:Thomas Barrett age 59 farmerfrom TN
wife:Charlotte 58 (probably nee Willis)
Stephen 22 TN school teacher
Martin 18TN farmer
James 15
Rufus 10
Susan Willis 50 TN, probably Charlotte's sister
#861 W.P.R. Barrettwagon maker 34 TN
Nancy 26 TN
Thisty (female) 11
Sarah 6
Thomas 3
Frances (female) 1
#862
R.W.D. Barrett 32 TN farmer
Sarah 18
Martha 2
Candacy 5 mos/May 1860
if you follow this family back you will find them in Bradley Co., TN in 1850 with the following list:
image 109
household 158/158
Thomas Barrett 50 farmer TN
Charlotte 47 (probably nee Willis)
Wm. Barrett age 32 (probably above Thomas' brother) TN
Thomas R. 18
Delila A. 16
Lasarus 14
Stephen 12
Laffayett 10
Vanburen 8
James R.P. 6
Rufus 1
Susannah Willis 35 (probably Charlotte's sister)
household 159/159
Wm. P.R. Barrett 25 farmer
Nancy 19 (possible nee Harmon)
Thistle A. (female) 2
Sarah Harmon 60
Lousisiana Harmon 15
now, this family of Barretts lived NEAR the families of Ward Barrett, Sr. and his sons.
BUT, the Thomas who married Charlotte IS NOT connected to Ward Barrett Sr. through a son named William.
first, IF there was a son named William, he would have been born about 1820 and the above Thomas was born ~1800.BUT, there has only been SUGGESTIONS that there was a son named William, son of Ward Barrett, Sr. and his wife Charity Mears, and the possibility of this son is only found on the POSSIBLE 1830 Cannon Co., TN census for Ward Barrett Sr.this census, if it is of Ward Barrett Sr., has his name spelled wrong - spelled BAANT - and it is on image 29 of the 1830 Cannon Co., TN census.
second, the Thomas Barrett who was the son of Ward Barrett Sr. and wife Charity Mears was born ~1806 and his wife was named Eliza and poss 2nd wife named Margaret.he is also found on the 1850 Cannon Co., TN census image 106 in Woodbury
children listed:
Lydia 16
Elizabeth 14
now, to figure out which Thomas was the one who married Salina.
do you know when this Thomas was born.
it could have been the one who was the son of Wm. P.R. who was born in 1857.this is the best possibility because the father was William and the mother was Nancy!
it could have been the one who was the son of Thomas who was born in 1832.this is the least possibility.
then again, it could have been the Thomas born 1801 TN, but I don't know his father's name.he is less likely, because I don't see a son of his named Samuel on these lists.
I hope this helps.
