Notes:

Captain's obituary states that he was the great grandson of the late Colonal John Augustine and Virginia R. Thweatt whose country estate was "Spring Garden, of Prince George County who practiced law.
Capton's name was most likely Wellington Ervin Barnes or Ervin Wellingt on Barnes. In 1900 census Ervin and Mary Barnes had three children....Wel lington, Elnora, and Ethel. Mary also indicated that she had had seven ch ildren and only three were living. All evidence supports the notion that 'Capton' was not his birth name.

Ervin married HAFF Eva Isabell on 5 Jun 1910 in Waverly, Sussex County, VA. Eva was born on 19 Apr 1894 in Townsend, Sandusky, Ohio; died in 1985 in Greenville, Augusta, Virginia, USA; was buried in Waverly, Sussex County, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
