2.) Will of Thomas Barrett copied from internet: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnhawkin/will1.htm#Thomas%20Barrett


"By Judy 'Barrett' Peeples" Thomas was a farmer and farmed land in Big Poor Valley, bordering on Poor Valley Creek a north branch of the Holston River in Hawkins County. Thomas appears in a number of Circuit Court records in Hawkins County, On Thursday 4th, April 1822 he is chosen as a juror in State vs. Robert Delap. On Saturday 12th of October 1822, Thomas is referred to as Thomas Barrat Junr when he is called to give a deposition on the behalf of Jesse Howel. Joseph Rogers is suing Jesse Howel for trespass. The case was continued for almost two years until Friday 8th October 1824 Jesse Howel was found not guilty as he did "not assume in manner and form as the Plaintiff in his declaration hath complained" Joseph Rogers was then ordered to pay court cost. Thomas again appeared in court on Monday the 3rd of October 1825 this time he was the defendant "Thomas Barrott and his wife Winny" were being sued for Slander by John Long. "This day came the Plaintiff by his attorney and there upon Thomas Barrot comes into Court and confesses Judgment for the sum of Twenty-five dollars the amount of the fee paid by the plaintiff to his attorney and the costs, and the Plaintiff releases the defendants from all further damages on account of the defameatory words spoken. It is therefore considered by the Court that the Plaintiff recover of the defendants Thomas Barrot the sum of Twenty five dollars and also the costs in this behalf expended as above confessed for which execution may issue". (Since it was almost unheard of to name a wife in a case at that time, I am betting it was our four times Great Grandma Winny who probably said some not so nice things about Mr. Long and Grandpa Thomas had to pay up just because he was her husband. (I bet Mr. Long deserved it.) On Wednesday 6th April 1825 Thomas Barrot Senr jointly with William Phipps and Martin Woods made an appearance bond in the sum of $1000 dollars "to be levied of their proper goods and chattels lands and tenements to the use of the State but to be void on condition that the said Martin Woods make his personal appearance before the Honorable Judge of the Circuit Court from day to day and answer a charge of the State exhibited against him and not depart without leave of the Court". It was a perjury charge vs. the State of Tennessee. Two days later the defendant was discharged as the Attorney General enters a Nolle Prosequi (will not prosecute) and the Clerk was ordered to make out a Bill of the costs and present it to the County Court for allowance. Hawkins Co., TN Marriage Book 1, 1789-1823. Transcribed from copies of the original bonds, located at the Hawkins County Courthouse, Rogersville, TN, by Susan Roberts.
