Descendants of James Crossett

Generation No. 1
1. JAMES2 CROSSETT (JOHN1) was born Abt. 1780 in Probably Caswell Co., NC, and died Bef. 1850. 
He married CHARLOTTE JOHNSTON February 15, 1816 in Caswell Co., NC, daughter of SAMUEL JOHNSTON and UNKNOWN.

Notes for JAMES CROSSETT:
Deed Book R
Boswell Warren of CC (Caswell Co., NC) to Nathaniel Jones of same, for 249.75. 111 acres 
on Panther Creek adj. James Currie, George Smith, William Currie, JAMES CROSSETT. Sept. 3, 1812. 
/s/ Bazzell Warren. Witnesses: William Currie, James Warren.

1820 Caswell Co., NC census
roll 81 page 49

James Crosset
1 male 16-26 (They've been married 4 years. Is this a son by a previous marriage?)
1 male 40-45
total 2 males
2 females to age 10 (unaccounted female other than Lucinda???)
1 female 40-45
total 3 females

1840 Orange Co., NC census (not sure this is same family-ages don't match??? 
However, Lucinda was married by 1840 and wouldn't be in the home. 
Based on the dates of the first born children of the sons, they should be in 
the home so there should be two males besides James. Maybe the census taker 
incorrectly marked her age or we have it wrong.)

James Crosset

1 male 5-10
1 male 15-20
1 male 50-60
1 female 20-30 (his wife would have been around 46?)

More About LUCINDA CROSSETT:
Burial: 1877, Prospect Cem., McNairy Co., TN
Medical Information: Died at 57 years, 10 months, and 11 days.

Notes for JOSEPH JEROME BARLOW:
Per an email from Randy Barlow from Hardin Co., TN in 1998 "I've always heard stories of how the 
family traveled from Orange Co., NC and drove a wagon pulled by a team of blind mules." Randy's 
email in 1998 was Rmato@aol.com.
This family migrated from Orange Co., NC in 1859. Joseph's mother, Lucretia, came along. 
Joseph's father was dead.
Joseph was reportedly a Presbyterian minister. 
Marker of Joseph Jerome Barlow reads: "Although in sleep his memory doth live and cheering comfort to 
his mourners give-He followed virture as his Christ guide-Lived as a Christian; as a Christian died.
There is a Joseph Barlow on the 1830 Orange Co., NC census. Did Joseph have a previous marriage? I 
have suspected this since Lucinda is several years younger than him.
