This is the latest information I have on Thomas
WHitfield, son of Marshall Matthews Barrington.

COMMENTS WELCOME

Thomas Whitfield Barrington, son of Marshall Matthews
Barrington and Lavisy Lunsford was born in Claiborne
Parish, Louisana on March 30, 1849. Thomas married
three times and from what I have found, fathered
possibly as many as 21 children of which I have listed
16. Thomas first married Permelia Ann Markham.
Permelia was a daughter of John Bunyon Markham and his
wife Sarah Elizabeth Upshaw, born in Noxubee County,
Mississippi in 1844. Permelias parents were married
September 03, 1843 in Noxubee County, Mississippi and
later moved in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. John
Markham died about 1856 in Minden, Webster Parish,
Louisiana and in 1867 Sarah and her children including
Permelia Ann and her siblings Emily, Tabitha, James
Monroe, and John Bunyon, moved to Holland in Bell
County, Texas. Permelia had previously married James
Jim Adams on November 03, 1861 in Bienville Parish,
Louisiana and had one child Jamie Ann Virginia Adams
who was born in Bienville Parish about 1862. After Jim
died Permelia married Thomas Whitfield Barrington,
possibly in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. After
Permelias family moved to Bell County, Texas she and
Thomas settled in nearby Williamson County were they
had several children in addition to Permelias
daughter Jamie. These children were John, Henry,
Allen, Ben, Robert E., born about 1878, Robert Lee,
born in 1881 and one daughter Mamie. Permelia died
after 1881 in Holland, Bell County, Texas and was
buried in Coleman County.





1870 Federal Census, Williamson County, Texas
Township of Georgetown

After researching the Williamson County, Texas census
records I find Thomas and Permelia in the 1870 census,
listed on page 35 of the 168 pages for Georgetown. In
this census, Thomas is listed as 21 years of age,
being born in 1849 in Louisiana and is a farm laborer.
Permelia is listed as age 25, born in Mississippi.
Also listed in the census are two children. James
Barrington, age 7, born in Louisiana and John, age 1,
born in Texas. Living next door listed is Henry
Barrington age 17 and Martha Barrington age 29, born
in Georgia and both children of Marshall Matthews
Barrington and siblings of Thomas. They are listed
living in the home of Dan Huggins, age 78 years and
his wife Lavise, age 51, born in North Carolina.
Marshall Matthews Barrington married Lavise Lunsford
who was born in North Carolina and died in Williamson
County, Texas. After Marshall's death Lavice married
Daniel Huggins in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana on
September 26, 1864. After her marriage it appears she
moved to Texas about the same time as Thomas.

On July 05, 1887 Thomas Whitfield Barrington married
Amanda Jane Pate in Georgetown, Williamson County,
Texas. Not much is known about his marriage to Amanda
but it is believed they were married about five to six
years and may have had as many as four children.
Thomas and Amandas first child was William H.
Barrington, born after 1887 in Georgetown, Williamson
County, Texas. I have not been able to find the names
of the other possible three children. In the 1880
Federal Census for Grayson, Texas what is believed to
be Amanda Jane Pate is living with her Uncle, her age
is listed as 22 and was born in Georgia. Amanda
probably died before the third marriage of Thomas
before 1890.

This third and last marriage was to Jane Jency Ida
Smith, a daughter of a John Wesley Bill Smith and
Caroline Wooten, originally from Georgia, born May 02,
1867. Thomas and Jane married prior to 1890, possibly
in Williamson County, then moved to Llano County,
Texas where they had at least nine children. Thomas
died in 1906 and was buried on the family ranch in
Llano County. After his death, Jane remarried to a
Shockley after 1910 and moved to Big Springs, Howard
County, Texas where she died on February 18, 1958 at
the age of 90.
