The papers include personal letters, clippings, Masonic Lodge records, genealogies, Jackson county clerk records, marriage records, Fox Photo film company records, pictures, wills, titles, and deeds, documenting John F. Barnett's research on Thomas Menefee and family. The papers also document other branches of the family. These families include Frazee, Mercer, Sutherland, Sullivan and White. Thomas Menefee, from Virginia, married a widow Lucy Sutherland Paine with one child. The Menefee's, in addition to the Sutherlands and other Menefee family members, moved to Texas to settle in what is now known a Jackson county. At the time the area was known as the Stephen F. Austin Colony and was experiencing a great deal of anti-Mexican feelings. William Menefee organized the "Menefee Meeting" of 1832 which organized the colonists against the Mexican Army as it was advancing to Fort Velasco.
