Mary Ann Frances Barrington

Mary Ann Frances Barrington was a daughter of William Winfield Barrington and Rhoda Adeline Weaver, born January 03, 1859, in the Blackrock Community. At the time of her birth Blackrock was still part of Butler County but later became part of Crenshaw.
Mary Ann married on November 30, 1880 in her parents home. The wedding was officiated by the Rev. J. E. Kolb. She married John Andrew Tindal, a son of William David Tindal and Margaret Ann Smith, also from the Blackrock Community. John Andrew was born January 23, 1859.
John's father, William David Tindal, was born in South Carolina, possibly in the Edgefield County area boy 1830 and it is believed that he may have moved to Eufaula in Barbour County, Alabama when he first came to Alabama then later to the Blackrock Community. Some references have been made that John Andrew may have been born in Barbour County and not Butler but most likely was Butler. This would be the same migration pattern followed by Mary Ann Barrington's father and indicates they may have moved together to the area of Blackrock.
After their marriage it appears they moved to an area near the parents of John Andrew. This area was located in precint 4 near the county line of Crenshaw and Butler, home to many of John's siblings and other Tindal families. They are found living here in the 1910 and 1920 Federal Census for Butler County.
John Andrew Tindal died at home in Butler County on October 05, 1921 and his wife Mary Ann died in the Blackrock Community in Crenshaw County on April 12, 1933. They are buried at the Blackrock Cemetery in Crenshaw County, Alabama.
