SECOND GENERATION

6. Lucretia Jane BARNETT was born in 1833 in the Common Wealth of Virginia. She immigrated on 27 Oct 1845 to Washington County, Ohio. Lucretia Jane Barnett was born to "free parents" who had lived in the same Virginia County for three census periods before moving to Ohio. She died on 26 Apr 1874 in Washington County, Ohio. She was buried in Barnett Ridge, Barlow Township, Washington County, Ohio in the Barnett Ridge Cemetery. The record here was originally created in response to a 1793 Virginia law which required all free blacks and people of color to register with the town or county clerk, and get a freedom certificate to carry with them at all times as ready proof of their free status. The following is the wording on Jane's certificate:

"State of Ohio No. 223 Lucretia Barnett's Certificate of Freedom, Virginia, Augusta County Court Clerks Office to Wit: Registered in this office by virtue of an order of the County Court of Augusta, entered on the 20th day of August 1845. Lucretia Barnett aged about twelve years (born circa 1833), a mulatto with long straight hair of dark brown complexion 5 feet 3/4 inches high and born free.

In testimony whereof I, Jefferson Kinney, Clerk of the County Court aforesaid, have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal of office at Stauton this 10th day of October 1845, and in the 70th year of the Commonwealth. Jefferson Kinney, Clerk Attest J. Smith, a Justice of the Peace."
