Notes |
- Earliest spelling of the name was Halbert. This family seems to eventually
have used the Holbert spelling, as is shown is numerous records, especially of
the later ones. Was in Fentress Co., Tn, by 1827 and in 1830/1840 c ensuses.
Moved to Fentress Co., Tenn by about 1827, and settled on Crooked Creek near
Little Crab, west of Jamestown.
It has been difficult to reconstruct his family. The 1800, 1810 an d 1820
censuses of Knox and Anderson Cos., Tn are missing. By 1830 he had at least
one child, Mary, married, and perhaps more than one. By 1850 several children
were married and with daughters, it has been difficult to identify them.
In 1850, sons Jeremiah and John and daughters Caroline, Elizabeth and Naomi
(Oma) were living in Posey Co., Ind. A Jeremiah Barlow in his household in1850, age 5, may have a grandson. A John Barlow, age 27. was i n son John
Holbert's household, age 27, in 1850, and in 1860 a Jerry Barlow age 15 was
living with John. Also with Joel and Zelphia in 1850 was Mary Bruce , age 7,
possibly a granddaughter.
The marriage records of Jeremiah, Naomi (called Oma in mar record,)
Caroline and Elizabeth are found in Posey Co.
Some possible children may be Margaret Mullinix, wife of Nathan Mullinix, in
Fentress Co., Tn. Also, Louisa Beaty, wife of Andrew Beaty, living next to
Nathan Mullinix in 1850, could possibly be a daughter. Daughters may have
married a Barlow and Bruce. More research needed.
