Death, Will, Probate

Inferred Death Date 1866.[18]
There is no known direct evidence of the date of death. He appears with his wife, Lucretia in the 1850 census, is not found in the 1860 census, so it was later than 1850.
In an email received by Doug Beezley on 5 Jan 2019 from Betsy Groh, she reports finding a letter dated 22 Sep 1866 John J Bowen, administrator of George's estate requesting that William (presumably George's son) come to Tazewell to settle George's estate.

Additional Notes from Betty Groh

George Washington Barnard was the oldest child of Jonathan Barnard and Obedience Bridget Barnett Jonathan had taken a job as a teacher after the war. He was from Salem, Massachusetts.
George married Lucretia Griffin—-you will see the name written as Grissom, Gresham, etc., but legally it was Griffin. That fact is proven by the Federal government archives regarding the Trail of Tears.
Lucretia was part Native American. She was one of the children of William Griffin and Susannah ________. William Griffin’s Native American name was Talha Che ca. He is mentioned in a few documents and Grissom Island is named after him.
Lucretia has a sister named Elizabeth who was called Betsy. She was married very young to a man named George Bull who died young. They had two children; Rebecca and Sterling J. Betsy was remarried to a man named Andy Ross and had a third child, Louisa. Betsy died when Louisa was a toddler. Her children were adopted by her sister Mary Polly who was married to John Barnard, thus the Barnard name for Rebecca Bull. John Barnard died young as well and his brother George became the guardian of the children.
Betsy’s daughter Rebecca married young as well, to Peter Leger. They had eight children. This marriage is documented in the Native American National Archives.[19][20]

Barnett-8665 and Barnett-3740 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same person and is the patriarch of the New Brunswick wing of the Barnett family.

Hi, I think Barnett-8665 and Barnett-3740 may be the same person. However, I am confused by the family lineages. How exactly did Barnett-3740 meet and Burke meet if she ended up in New Brunswick and it says the parents are from Virginia? Also our family history has no record of a Rebecca being born to George as he is the patriarch of the Barnett line in New Brunswick, Canada.

Cheers,

Marc
