Life History

Notes

• An Alabama marriage record may be for Elizabeth and her husband Asa Barnett.  No ages are given, but the marriage date of January 1827 could fit.  Census ages for Elizabeth Barnett vary, but 1860 has her age as 46, making her born about 1813 or 1814.  She would be about 14 in January 1827.  That could be.  Their first child was born in about 1825.  That would fit.  If this is her marriage record, then her name may be Gracy Elizabeth.  Later censuses have her as Elizabeth.
