JAMES LEGH RICHMOND BARRETT
James Legh Richmond Barrett was born in Sumter county, South
Carolina, but the greater part of his life has been passed
in Georgia, as, when he was quite small, his father, William
G. Barrett, removed to Clarke county, and settled near
Athens... He was baptized into the fellowship of the Athens
church, by Rev. L. R. L. Jennings... He was licensed to
preach by the Buena Vista church, to which his membership
had been transferred, and received instructions in theology
from Dr. P. H. Mell, of Athens, until an opportunity
presented itself of attending the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary... ...He served acceptably several
churches in Gwinnett County; married Miss Mattie S. Adair,
and estimable and pious young lady of Gainesville, Georgia,
and accepted the pastorate of the church at Maysville,
Jackson county, a flourishing little town on the
Northeastern Railroad...
