Generation # 2

6. Marion Hugh5 Barrington (Marion Madison4,
Willis3, Elisha2, William1) was born June 28, 1860 in
Eufaula, Barbour County, Alabama, and died November
30, 1925 in Largo, Pinnellas County, Florida. He
married Mary Emma Lee December 10, 1891 in Georgiana,
Butler County, Alabama, daughter of Andrew Lee and
Elizabeth Davis. She was born October 22, 1871 in
McKenzie, Butler County, Alabama, and died June 29,
1961 in Largo, Pinnellas County, Florida.

Notes for Marion Hugh Barrington:

Marion Barrington was born on June 28, 1860, in
Barbour County, Alabama, the fourth child of Marion
and Ann Barrington. Before the birth of his younger
brother, John Madison Barrington, who was born on June
28, 1862, the Barrington family may have moved to the
Blackrock Community, located in central Crenshaw
County, Alabama. However this is contrary to the 1870
census which list the family of Marion still living in
Barbour County, in east central Alabama. Even though
some records list John Madison Barrington being born
in the Blackrock Community of Crenshaw County it is
most likely it was after the birth of all of the
Barrington children that they moved to Crenshaw
County. This area was loctaed near the Butler County
line and it was here that Marion Hugh Barrington met
his wife, Mary Emma Lee. Mary Emma was born on
October 22, 1871 to Elizabeth and Andrew Lee, one year
before Andrew died on October 22, 1872.

In the 1880 Butler County, Alabama Federal Census,
Elizabeth Lee and Mary Emma Lee were living near
Jasper Horrie Davis and his family a mile or two north
of McKenzie, Alabama. Mary Emma Lee married Marion
Hugh Barrington on December 10, 1891, in the Butler
County town of Georgiana, Alabama at the home of her
mother. They were married by George Washington Lee, a
Primitive Baptist preacher, who had lost an arm in the
Civil War.

Marion Hugh Barrington worked in the logging industry
and he and Emma lived in locations to accommodate his
work. Their granddaughter, Louisa Traxler, reported
that the family Bible of Ruby Barrington Williamson
indicates that Emma Barrington united with the
Primitive Baptist Church in Geneva County, Alabama in
1908 and transferred her membership to the Lone Star
Pilgrim Primitive Baptist Church of Largo, Florida in
1913. Of interest is the fact that in the 1900 Geneva
County, Alabama Federal Census, 6th precinct, page
89A, the father of Marion Hugh Barrington (Marion
Madison Barrington) was living in the home of his
daughter Sarah "Sallie" Sebelle Barrington-Jordan in
Geneva County.

In the list of early members of the church in Largo,
Florida are E. J. Lee (Elizabeth) and Emma Barrington
who are listed together as if they united with that
church at the same time. Elizabeth Davis Lee might
have been living with her daughter, Emma Barrington,
before they moved to Florida and she moved along with
them. The Barrington family appears in the 1920
Pinellas County, Florida Federal Census living at
Safety Harbor, near Clearwater.

Precinct 19, page 261B:
