THANKS YOU SO MUCH George Martin!

I did not realize GG Grandfather John Ashley Boyett was at Ft. McAllister when General Sherman's overwhelming force over ran it. My GG Grandfather James C. Barrs was also there. He was put in a Hilton Head Union Hospital and then transferred to Fort Delaware Union Military Prison until releases JUL 1865.

Ashley Boyett and his wife Nancy Holwell-Boyett's next to youngest child, Mary Elizabeth Boyette married my Great Grandfather Isaac Newton Barrs in Brooks County Florida. Isaac Newton Barrs was one of 6 sons of GG Grandfather James Campbell Barrs and Martha Elizabeth Land-Barrs.

Ashely Boyett was born in Wayne County NC to Moses and Polly Boyet in 1816. He then migrated to Arkansas and then to Lowndes County Georgia where her married Mary Holwell in 1837.

Brook County divided from Lowndes County Georgia in 1858...

Thanks again,
Al Barrs, Jr. GG Grandson
