I'm wondering if this Jonathan A. Barrett of Va and NC has been wishfully tacked onto the Barretts of Chelmsford Massachusetts? Someone found the 1716 birth record of Jonathan in Massachusetts, decided he was the same as the Va Jonathan Barrett, and it's been copied to the point it became a fact?
This is a nice branch on my tree, and I'd hate to lop it off. Please convince me he is the child of the Barretts of Chelmsford Massachusetts.
