Dammie Barnes (92947544)
Elizabeth Jane Williams was born in Mississippi in 1819 to James Williams and Synthia Holloway; however, she may have also had another given name, since she was called "Dammie". This nickname probably is from her maternal grandmother -- Diodamy (Featherston) Holloway, who was called "Dama".
Dammie Williams grew up in Mississippi and married Edward E. Barnes around 1867. They lived in Marion County, Mississippi in 1870 and had two children, Clarissa Cynthia Barnes (b. 1868), and William Sterling Barnes (b. Aug. 1869). Two more children were born after 1870 -- Benjamin Barnes (b. 1872), and Elizabeth D. Barnes (b. 1877). Dammie's husband, Edward Barnes, died before 1880 and she was left a widow with four small children, so she and the children moved in with her parents in Lawrence County, Mississippi. Edward's burial site is not known.
Daughter Clarissa Cynthia Barnes married John Dampier and reared her family in Mississippi. Son, William Sterling Barnes, married Lula Byrne and before 1910 moved to Louisiana, where he died, but his remains and Lula;s were both returned to Lawrence, Mississippi for burial. Dammie's son, Benjamin Barnes, followed his Williams cousins to Johnson County, Texas before 1900, became a farmer, married Kizzie Smith, and lived out his life there. Elizabeth D. Barnes married W. H. Duke in 1896 in Lawrence, Mississippi, had a daughter there, then moved to Little Rock, Arkansas where they had a photography studio.
It is unclear whether Dammie died and was buried in Texas in 1899 (possibly with her son there) or in Mississippi. However, there is a marker engraved "In memory of Dammie E. Barnes, wife of Edward Barnes" in the Hollywood Cemetery in Pike County, Mississippi.
