Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Theodore S. Barrett, a retired farmer living on section 25, Hopkins Township, 
was born April 17, 1808, in Madison Co., N. Y. He was educated in the public 
schools, which he attended until he was about 18 years old, and at that age 
entered the academy at Cazenovia, N. Y., where he was a student two years. 
After becoming his own master, he engaged in dairy-farming and operated in his 
native State until 1856, when he came to Whiteside County. After a stay of two 
years at Sterling he bought 100 acres of land on sections 25 and 26 in Hopkins 
Township. On this he fixed his place of residence, and it has since been his 
home. His estate includes 125 acres of land, which is chiefly under tillage. 
Mr. Barrett is an adherent of the Republican party. He has officiated as 
Township Clerk and in other minor offices. The first marriage of Mr. Barrett, 
to Caroline Damon, took place Nov. 14, 1830, in Madison Co., N. Y. Frances G., 
Theodore H., Lorenzo M. and Lucia C. are the names of the children of whom 
they became the parents. The mother died July 8, 1860, in Hopkins Township. 
Mr. Barrett formed a second matrimonial alliance Oct. 10, 1864, at Sterling, 
with Jerusha B. (McCune) Eggleston. She is the daughter of Stephen and Polly 
(Davenport) McCune, and was the widow of Daniel Eggleston, who died in Indiana 
in 1858, leaving two children, Adella and George W. Mrs. Barrett was born May 
16, 1822, in Oswego Co., N. Y. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church.
