In the year 1851, the Barretts left their native state of Ohio and settled in Newcastle township, Fulton county, where Mrs. Barrett afterward resided until her death.

"Mother" Barrett will not be mourned by her children only, but also by a large circle of friends, who have learned to cherish her memory because of her noble example of motherhood. In her long and useful life she had many obstacles to overcome and conquered them by a strict devotion to principle and truth.
