BARNES - COCKERILL FAMILIES.
I am seeking information on George Barnes b. est 1845-1865 and Mary Cockerill b. 1862 Fayette County. They had the following children:
William McKinley Barnes b. abt 1892; Richard b.?; Olga b. ? m. Wortman; Georgia b. ? All were born in Fayette County.
I believe that George may have had a prior marriage that produced a son named Roy as he is listed as half-brother in William's 1952 Obituary in Dayton paper.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Have information to share on descendants and other families.

In 1835 a man named George W. RICHEY had a 3 year old boy named William CONNETT apprenticed to him. William CONNETT's father was Joseph CONNETT, his mother was possibly Mary WITTY. William Connett was to be George Richey's apprentice until he turned age 21, which would have been in February of 1853. There is no one at all living with George W. Richey on the 1850 Fayette County, OH census. I must find out where little William Connett went to. Anyone that can help, please e-mail me, or if you have any information on George RICHEY, Mary WITTY, or Joseph and William CONNETT, I have more to share.Thanks, Lynn ;tscudder@essex1.com
