"Fred and Era's son (Fred) went through life using the last name of Scruggs, his last step-father's name, although within the family he was known as Fred Culpepper. To muddy the waters more, on the census of 1920, he was listed as the son of James and Minnie Belase and Era was listed as their daughter, but on a Social Security application, he did list Era Belase as his mother. Fred died in August of 1983. I believe he had two children, but, of course their last names would be Scruggs."

Eleanor Barnett1
F, (say 1767 - )
| Birth* | say 1767 | She was born say 1767.1 |
| Marriage* | 27 January 1790 | She married James Smith at Richmond Co., Georgia, on 27 January 1790.1 |
| Married Name | 27 January 1790 | As of 27 January 1790, her married name was Smith.1 |
| Research note* | Being a descendant of James Smith who married Agnes Culpepper, I searched long and hard to try to find proof of how many wives, and who they were, he had prior to Agnes Culpepper... There has been a great deal of speculation and incorrect assumption on this topic. One example subject to question is the position many take that "our James Smith" is the same James Smith as married Eleanor Barnett, widow of Jesse Barnett, in Columbia County, GA at some point after Jesse's death in 1790. The James who married Eleanor was appointed guardian for three children of Jesse and Eleanor Barnett in Sept. of 1790 - the three children were daughters named Louisa, Elizabeth and Jesse. In this line of speculation, James is thought to have "adopted" the Barnett children and the fact that the names are similar to the names of two daughters of "our James Smith" (Louisa, mistaken for Linsey, and Elizabeth) makes a convincing case for many. However, my further research has uncovered various deeds and other legal documents of record in Columbia County that establish that Louisa Barnett married Hezekiah Bealle of Columbia County and Elizabeth Barnett married Allen Lovelace in Columbia County, and both couples continued to live in Columbia County long after "our James" is in Wilkinson County with his own daughters named Linsey and Elizabeth. So, it is possible that the James Smith who married Eleanor Barnett is "our James" - however, the Barnett daughters are not the same as Linsey and Elizabeth Smith, our James's daughters (Linsey Smith married a Davidson and Elizabeth Smith married Joab Tison). This entire overview makes me somewhat skeptical that the James Smith who married Eleanor Barnett is "our James." The following is from a book by Pearl Baker on Columbia County, GA - Early Court Records that provides the first evidence of Hezekiah Beal and Allen Lovelace being connected to Jesse Barnett. My further research found ample examples that they were married to Louisa and Elizabeth Barnett. 1808, Oct 6 APPOINTMENT OF ARBITRATORS - Robert CRAWFORD, and William BAR-X NETT, Adms., of estate of William and Hannah BARNETT, dec'd., and John MADDOX; Hezekiah BEALLE, and Allen LOVELACE, divisors of said estate, have mutually chosen Hugh BLAIR; Anderson CRAWFORD, and John FOSTER, as arbitrators to settle all matters of controversy. Recor-ded June 15, 1809 1809, June 15 AGREEMENT - John FOSTER; Hugh BLAIR, and Anderson CRAWFORD, ap-pointed by Robert CRAWFORD and Ann BARNETT, Adms., of estate of Han-nah and William BARNETT, dec'd., and John MADDOX, in right of his wife, one of the heirs of Hannah's estate; Hezekiah BEALLE, and Allen LOVELACE, representatives of late Jesse BARNETT, also an heir to said estate. ."We do award distribution of real estate of William Barnett, the Elder, as follows: John Maddox, 250 acres on Uchee Creek, 184 acres on Ogeechee, in Wilkes Co., 287 1/2 acres in Franklin Co. James SMITH, guardian to heirs of Jesse Barnett, dec'd., 500 acres on Broad River in Wilkes Co., 300 acres on Uchee Creek. Adms., to pay to John Maddox, $350.10 in full of his proportion of the estate. Also sum to Allen Lovelace of $573., as his full share. Hezekiah Bealle shall pay to Robert Crawford and Anderson Crawford, $102.84, with law-ful interest from Nov 1, 1806, it being money overpaid to said Bealle. (William Barnett m. Anna (or "Hannah") Crawford, in Richmond Co., Dec 23, 1789.)2 |
