9. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mar 14, 1844 – May 10, 1918; her boyfriend was killed in the Civil War. She never married. Aunt Lizzie came to Grandma Bessie’s to stay when she (Aunt Lizzie) was sick with typhoid; See Aunt Indy below who also got sick around the same time with typhoid. When Aunt Indie who was also contracted typhoid came to Grandma’s to be taken care of, Aunt Lizzie had to go to Maysville to stay with someone else b/c Grandma Bessie could not take care of both of them. Her house was built by her brother Furnifold and it was said to be constructed upside down.

10. Indiana or India Anna (Indy) May 7, 1847 - May 13, 1918 (or according to Internet source May 30 which may have her confused with Susan Jane, so 3 – 20 days after Aunt Lizzie) She never married.

Annie was the first woman mayor in Jones County; (Bessie Barbee and some of her children witnessed her holding a trial in the front yard of her house before a big crowd.) The 1900 census lists Indiana as Elizabeth’s sister and Annie, Urania (Rannie?), and Bertha Dunnie (Susan’s children) as Elizabeth’s nieces, implying that Susan’s children were at that time living with her sisters Elizabeth and Indiana in Lizzie’s house due to Susan’s illness.

12. Mary (Polly) Nov 19, 1848 – Oct 12, 1928; [The grave in the Thomas Jarman cemetery with the confederate flag is the grave of Polly’s husband, William H.

He would come up and tell Bessie about it. After a time, Mary left to return to Duplin County and never returned. Children were Thomas Henry b. 1879 and Mary S. (Mamie) b. 1882; Mamie (who, according to Bessie was brilliant) became a nurse who went to China where she met and married a missionary, T. A. Hern. They had four children, Sandy, Andy, Betty and T.A. When they came back to the United States, they moved to Arkansas where they tried many ventures. Sadly, their finances collapsed. Mamie ended up in a mental institution. After visiting her there and seeing Mamie’s dire straits, her first cousin Annie and her husband Frank took the youngest children, Betty & T.A., back home with them. The two older children asked if they could also be taken with them, but Annie and Frank were unable to do that. Every summer Annie would bring Betty and T.A. to Bessie Barbee’s and would stay for a good while. Later Sandy came back to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Furnifold build the house for his sister, Elizabeth. This is the house known as the “Lizzy House.” The house was between the Thomas Jarman cemetery and what is now the Richlands Loop Road. The house had a double porch was constructed entirely upside down. Gordon and Lois Barbee lived in the Lizzie house before they moved over to Barbee Road.
