David Franklin Barry

David Franklin Barry enlisted in the Confederate Army when he was 16 years and 8 months old, and served for almost three years, until the War was over. The family home was burned by Union soldiers, but David and his widowed mother rebuilt the home, to which he brought his bride, Lutie Chenault, in 1869.

From Chenault, Belle Montgomery, Descendants of Estienne Chenault, 1991 Ed. Gregath Publishing, (Cullman, AL 1992).

Dates for his birth and death, and the year of his marriage are from typewritten notes from papers from Benjamin Franklin Barry.
