BARNETTE / BRANDON / MARION / SHY
Looking for any info to prove a tale
that says Mitchel Luke MARION, a Civil War soldier, no doubt Confederate,
was an "outlaw" who rode with William QUANTRILL and then with Frank & Jesse
JAMES. From the Farrenburg/Barnes Ridge area. Mitchel was age 35 in the 1860
census and was supposedly killed in 1876 around Farrenburg. Apparently,
Mitchel appeared on Discovery in "Old Outlaws of the West," but when I don't
know. Supposedly a member of the MARION family married into the BARNETTE
(Barnett?) family who had a store on Barnes Ridge and the gang spent the
night at the BARNETTE (Barnett?) home.
Marion's dtr, Columbia C., married
Jesse SHY, and their son had a SHY store in Farrenburg (I think). After
Mitchel died, later--Aug 15, 1892--Columbia married a Sam BRANDON of LeSieur
(probably LeSieur township).
Question is: how can I prove this tale? Do
you know anyone connected to these families whom I might contact? Mary Sue

Jane Bailey from Humphreys Co., TN (at the 1850 census). I need to place the
Crocketts in New Madrid in order to prove that they are her parents. John
and Rebecca Crockett had other children in addition to Elnora, so perhaps
some small trace of them may exist in New Madrid Co. Their children of were:
William "Henry" Crockett bc. 1846 TN; Emily b. 1849 TN; Elizabeth b. 1850;
