    1. [ARJACKSO] Barnes and Masons, Arkansas and Virginia
    2. Need help with these Barnes: Susannah Barnes mother of William Barnes who died 1804 Greensville Co. VA. Susannah also died 1820 and her estate sale was held in Oct. 1820 Greensville Co. Susannah appears on the property tax lists in Greensville Co. several times from 1811-1820 with a Richard Barnes whom I believe to also be her son. Richard Barnes then dies Greensville Co. 1825. Does anyone have the maiden name of Susannah Barnes? Then on the 1810 Greensville Co. VA Census I have found Bennett Barnes with, I believe, his sisters Lizzie and Rebeckah Barnes and his mother Susannah Barnes. John Barnes is also listed on the 1810 Greensville Co. Census. Is this the John Barnes who married Elizabeth Bass 1803 Greensville Co.? Sons of John Barnes later appearing in the tax records for Greensville Co. were William H. and also John A. Barnes. There was also a John Barnes who married Henrietta Floyd, Lunenburg Co. 1790. What was the relationship of these two John Barnes? Then in Jackson Co. Arkansas was Ashley Barnes born 1822 who married Frances Edwards(?). Also, Benjamin Barnes whom I believe to be Ashley Barnes' brother. Does anyone have Ashley and Benjamin in their database who could tell me if these men were also of Southside Virginia? Along with Henry Mason who married Lizzie Barnes 1816 Greensville Co., there is also a William Mason who drew on the estate of Susannah Barnes. Was this William Mason the one who married Susan Cooksey March 10, 1810 in Amherst Co. VA? Susan was the daughter of Miles Cooksey, formerly of Greensville Co. VA. I apologize for so many questions (smile), but my research is at a standstill. I will be happy to share with anyone researching the above families. Ashley Barnes and Thomas Mason are two of the oldest buried in Oakland Cemetery, Jackson County Arkansas. The John Barnes above was an uncle or uncle in law to Thomas Mason born 1818 Greensville Co. (my ggrandfather) and I suppose a cousin to Ashley and Benjamin Barnes. Thanks, Carolyn Mason Anderson
