  • Notes 
    • Jorial was named after his uncle, Richard Barnett's brother - Joseph Royal Barnett, a prominent SC Baptist minister who served in the Rev War

      In 1850 Census, Cherokee County, Rusk TX, he listed birthplace as TN.

      In 1860 Census (same location), he listed birthplace as AL. May be error or
      may have lived in AL when it was just a territory near TN (AL became state
      1819, TN in 1796) This area in Alabama (extending into what is now northeastern Mississippi) was part of Chickasaw Indian Territory.

      Moved to MS between 1836 & 1838.
      I assume he went to join George Barnett and Samuel W Barnett, because they also received Land Grants (Samuel on 8/14/1838 and George on 8/14/1844) George is listed in the 1836 tax rolls, but Jorial is not. Jorial is however in the 1838 tax roll.

      I found a note of Indenture between George Barnett and Jorial Barnett dated 1838. Collateral which was held by George included a 9 yr old bay mare, 3 cows & their calves, a feather bed & bed clothing and 50 bushels of corn. It sounds like he was preparing to leave the area, based on what he surrendered to George.

      I have a copy of a land grant in Itawamba County, MS to Jorial dated 1844. This was land taken from the Chickasaw Indians before their removal to Indian lands in Oklahoma (~1836-1838)

      I have located the land included in the Land Grant. The address is 216-224 Warren Chapel Rd, Mantachie, MS 38855, USA. Longitude 34.36738599624704, Latitude -88.48480939865112. The area is now solid woods with a small damed lake in the middle. There are no visible structures in the satelite photo.

      Moved to TX between 1844 & 1847... WHY? over 500 miles!!

      Moved from Cherokee County (Rusk) to Brazos County (Bryan), TX

      Wife died 1858 (in childbirth?)

      Remarried 1858.

      Moved to Bryan 1859-1863

      After 1880 Census, no records of Jorial & Rachel

      We camped the first night near Jorial Barnett's, between Jacksonville and Larissa. Two of the Barnett boys were going with us, and several from Larissa.
      This is an account of the formation of the 3rd Cavalry of Texas in June of 1861. They were on their way to training in Dallas before participation in the Civil War. This documents his location at the time and that two of Jorials sons fought for the Confederacy. These would have been sons of Martha since the sons of his second wife Rachel would have been too young.
