Please email at kjamm@voyager.net with more information on your Wm Barret, especially if you know what county in Virginia he came from. Any other information would be helpful too. In 1843 John S. Shawl married Lucretia Barret in Sandusky OH. In 1845 Lucretia gave birth to Melvin Shawl in Fremoint OH. We do not know John's or Lucretia's parents or where the Shawl's or Barret's came from. We look forward to hearing from you.
