Barrett Family of Minneapolis, since 1875

Genealogical research regarding the Edward Harris Barrett family of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was a descendant of Humphrey Barrett of Concord, Massachusetts, who came to America in 1639 from England (likely County Kent). Edward was born 1818 in Warner, New Hampshire; moved to Christian County, Illinois (1851); pioneered in Utica, Minnesota (1854); Wasioja (1870) and later (1875) moved to Minneapolis. He lived in Idaho and Washington, but returned to Minneapolis where he died in 1907.
