Seeking any descendants or further information regarding Samuel R. Barnes, born in Nelson County, Kentucky about 1799-1810. One unconfirmed source states he was born there in 1813. He may have married Mary Kendall in Nelson County, but he had a first cousin who was also named Samuel Barnes. The parents of Samuel R. Barnes were Elijah Barnes and Rachel Willcocks also of Nelson County. Elijah was the son of James Barnes who died in Nelson County in 1795. When Elijah Barnes died in 1845, he listed Edwin F. Barnes in his Will as his grandson. Edwin F. is thought to be the son of Samuel R. Barnes. At this time I do not know if Edwin stayed in Nelson County, Kentucky. Information recently revealed states Samuel R. Barnes died in Rodney, Mississippi in May of 1839. Ancestry of Edwin F. Barnes; James Barnes, d. 1795 Elijah Barnes, d. 1845 Samuel R.

A book entitled, "Kentucky's Bicentennial Family Register" printed 1977, shows a genealogy of the Wilson Ross Barnes, b. 1915 in Louisville, KY., residence, Seabrook, TX. Wilson states his father was Calvert Washington Barnes (1883-1962), his grandfather was Washington Ross Barnes (1835-1908), his gr. grandparents were James Barnes and Mildred Berry. James' father is listed as Samuel Barnes, b. 1777. Mildred's father is sown as Joseph Berry, b. 1780. Wilson went on to earn a PHD of Chemistry at Iowa State Univ. Note that Wilson Ross Barnes was a member of the Harris Co. Genealogical Soc. and the Filson Club. There has been much speculation about the parents of James Barnes, who m. Mildred Berry, some have stated [and printed!] that his parents were Elijah Barnes and Rachel Willcocks. Others have listed that his parents were Samuel Barnes and Lydia Willcoks. None have listed proof of their claims. Though more details would be required to show actual proof, the brief information shown on Wilson Ross Barnes lends further strength to the argument that James Barnes, b. ca. 1798, was the son of Samuel, not Elijah Barnes, a brother of Samuel, all of Nelson Co., KY. James Barnes and wife Mildred Berry are buried at Bowman Cemetery, near Cedar Creek Church, Nelson Co., KY. I've been there. In 2001, their large, red headstones were laying ontop of the ground. Afternoon light revealed what my rubbings could not, their names and dates. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Hello, In researching my Barnes line I have some documents that are for William W. Barnes, father's name is Wesley Barnes. Documents says that he was married twice, first to Louisa Fivekiller, second wife was Agnes Thompson. None are in my line as far as I can tell. The documents are dated 1900 but cover a long period before 1900. There is a great deal of info in these documents that are several pages long. If this is your line and are interested I will share with you. Bob leneta@msn.com

Hi, Folks... My name is Shirley. I'm a friend of Jen, your list hostess. Jen expects their area to be hit by Hurricane Ivan as it moves through the Southeast so I've temporarily taken the reins of her lists. She doesn't know, of course, how long they may lose power in their area, so having me watch things is a backup for her. I've had many lists on Rootsweb for 7-8 years, so I'm familiar with the workings and how things operate. While Jen is unavailable, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions, problems or concerns. I live on the West Coast and am online most afternoons, plus evenings until late.

You may wish to Google to the Barnes DNA site and lake a look. Also the micro films of the late Maj.

I have a William Barnes that might be related. I have hit a brick wall not being able to find where exactly he came from. Here are the facts I know about him. Born in Maryland around 1781 was in Pennsylvania as early as 1827 Children's names were Aaron, Benjamin, Cyrus, William, Thomas, Joshua, Elizabeth, Amanda Jane and Matilda Most or all of the children were born in Pennsylvania and that is were he married. This could be the William you are looking for. He ended up in Indiana with no other family but his wife and children. I have thought he was from the family mentioned and have tried to research how but have not come up with any proof.

Try _http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/pha/osr/gendisx/index.htm_ (http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/pha/osr/gendisx/index.htm) It shows some Barnes in Tuscola Co. Also, census records - and contact the State of Michigan Library. They have old newspapers and a ton of info. (http://www.rootsweb.com/~migenweb/)

I cannot help you with John and Minnie, but I can tell you that you cannot depend on the information on the marriage certificate or death certificate to be legitimate. I know for a fact that my father was only 18 when he married, which was a legal age for marriage. YET, he gave his age as 21 on the marriage certificate. Whoever gave the information for his death certificate gave his birth year as 1903. He was born in 1896. I was old enough to know the true dates, thus I am able to make the correction in my family history. Another false statement that is hard to correct is census records. Oftentimes, a neighbor might have given the information to the census taker and just made a guess. Sometimes they got it correct, but more often, it was wrong. You just have to do the best you can and evaluate the informations you get to the best of your ability. Good luck.

If anyone has any research tips, I would be most grateful. Please respond directly. I have a marriage certificate from the State of Michigan for my great-grandparents, John W. Barnes and Minnie Thompson. I have a death certificate for Minnie Thompson Barnes. I have a death certificate for John H. Barnes. This certificate names John's father as Thomas Barnes, birthplace England. These certificates were sent to me by the deputy clerk of Tuscola County. I know my great-grandfather died in 1929 (from my father). I don't know for sure that John W and John H are one and the same, however. The death certificate states his age as 64 years, 6 days and gives his date of death as 6/5/1929, which means this Johon was born in 1865. The marriage certificate states John W. was 22 years at the time of the marriage license 11/24/1884. That means this John was born in 1862. The marriage certificate does not identify the father or mother of either John or Minie. John and Minnie are my brick walls; I cannot validate their parentage. John's father could be Thomas; a 90-year-old relative says John's father was Henry (could be Henry Thomas or Thomas Henry). Minnie's father is Andrew Thompson, born in Scotland, mother "Mary" born in England (according to 1900 census). But that's all I know about them. I have searched rootsweb, ancestry.com, genealogy.com, the LDS site, INgeneas. Looking for various combinations of Thomas/Henry Barnes and/or John and Minnie in Michigan and England. Thanks for any search suggestions. d (Dawn, 66-year-old mother of (4), grandmother of (11), full-time acctng employee, part-time writer/genealogy nut)

In 1850 Thomas Barnes was young and had a family in Cocke/Jefferson County. His Father possibly Samuel. In 1860 census family in Jefferson Co, Tn. with head of household - Savenia Burns 28 Tn.

M Hewitt 27f Tn. 1870 census Jefferson Co, Tn. Pruett, Martha 60 f Barnes, Delila 11 f --- Elizabeth 14 f --- Thomas 18 m Anyone checking these families? I don't know what happened to the mother & father. And I assume Pruett is the Gr-mother. I know nothing about her either. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Shirley

My elusive Barnes ancestor, Jeremiah (1824-1888), was reportedly born in Somerset Co, PA. Sometime before 1848 he moved to Montgomery Co, OH where he purchased land, married Catherine Opdyke and raised 11 children (listed below) on his farm. 1. Jeremiah Taylor Barnes (1848-1898) spouse Ella Mary Pierce 2. Albert Franklin Barnes (c1851-unk) 3. Malissa B. Barnes (c1853-unk) 4. B. Ella Barnes (c1855-unk) 5. Rosetta Barnes (c1857-unk) 6. Oliver H. Barnes (1859 - 1933) spouse Ella A. Swadner 7. Ida Barnes (c1862-unk) 8. Ulysses Grant Barnes (1864-1891) spouse Frances Melissa Kohl 9. Harriet C. Barnes (1866-1957) spouse Jacob C.

Sorry, Other than the Barnes who seemed to have property in Warren and nearby Barren County, KY I have no direct information on other Barnes. A Samuel Barnes, who seemed to have arrived from NC, was also living in adjacent Logan County about the time Frederick and William arrived. I don't think Samuel is related because of his origin in NC.
