I was away for the past few days for Thanksgiving and have come home today and found a need to remind subscribers to this of list guideline #4: 4. Virus and Hoax posts/warnings should be sent to me. I will post the necessary information according its urgency, and no discussion will follow on the list. For verification such items and discussion, I suggest that one should subscribe to the VIRUS-DISCUSSION list on RootsWeb. Instructions for subscribing to this list will be posted in the taglines, and in administrivia for the digest. It will be helpful to all if this guideline is followed. Thank you all for not allowing this issue to get out of hand. Jennifer Sherwood Braswell BARNES-admin@rootsweb.com

I was reading a newspaper article the day after Thanksgiving about the movie that saved the film industry the "Great Train Robbery". This movie received its copyright 100 years ago. The opening paragraph of the article says, "One hundred years ago, an actor named Justus D. Barnes fired a gun six times at the camera, and the movies were never the same again." Evidently Justus D. Barnes played one of the outlaws that robbed the train. Anybody have a connection to Justus D. Barnes??? The article says that you can view "The Great Train Robbery" in its entirety (3 parts of 4 minutes each) 12 minutes long at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/edhtml/gtr.html ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Folks -- Thomas Hynds, son of William Hynds in the story below, was also the brother of Col. Andrew Hynds who built Elizabethtown, KY and named it for his wife, Elizabeth. The senior Mr. William Hynds was married to Hannah Combs, who after William's gruesome death, married secondly to James Barnes; both James Barnes and Hannah Combs Hynds died in Nelson Co., KY, which is the county where many of the names mentioned below finally resided. William R. Hynds, believed to the son of Col. Andrew Hynds, settled the Colonel's estate.

James Barnes and family moved to Barnes Gap, Ray's Hill, in southern Bedford Co. (now Fulton Co.), PA in 1777. This is very near the MD border. They came from MD, originally the Baltimore area. The person living on adjoining land in PA is a Caleb Barnes and wife, Honor Stephens of Baltimore. They moved to PA in 1770. Because of DNA tests, we now know James and Caleb were closely related. James and family move to KY ca. 1787, where James dies in Nelson Co. in 1795. Due to the age of his oldest child and the age of his last wife, James was likely born in the 1720's. James' children are Abel, Mary Bell, Ruth, Samuel, Jemima, Elijah and Archibald. Abel returns to Barnes Gap, PA, marries Mary Poole and has 8 children; 1. Mahala, who marries Adam Zembower 2. Abel, m. Margaret Bishop 3. Catherine 4. Lloyd, m. Eliza Smith 5. Eliza Jane, m. Jacob Snider 6. Samuel, m. Cordelia ? 7. George Washington, m. Sarah Ann Diehl 8. Archibald, m. Mary Ann Mills.

Because there are so many BARNES lines, it would be a great help if "queriers" would put LOCATION in the subject line in addition to the family names being researched. It often takes time to figure out whether a query is of possible relevance to my family because the locations are not clear or immediately obvious. Thanks, all! Judy

As a Barnes descendant, I am researching: 1. George Barnes, b. May 30 1760, d. Dec. 30 1853, married 14 July 1825 Anna Foster 2. George's son, William Barnes (1801 - 1875) who married Thressa Shouse (1805- 1872) 3. William & Thressa's ten children; 1 - Elizabeth Barnes, b. Aprl 27 1826 died at birth 2. John C. Barnes, b. Dec. 25 1827, Morganton, Indiana, who married Nov. 23 1849 Caroline Davidson 3. Lydia Barnes, b. Oct. 16 1829, d. Feb. 12 1882, married Jesse Williams 4. David Barnes, b. Nov. 3 1831, d. Feb. 16 1833 5. Oliver Perry Barnes, b. 21 Nov. 1833, d. Feb. 9 1909, married Minerva Kilgore on June 26 1856 6. Aaron William Barnes, b. Feb. 4 1836, d. Nov. 21 1862, m.

Mary Lord 10. Mary Eveline Barnes, b. Aug. 28 1845, d. July 3 1904, m. on Nov. 9 1885, William Kennedy Oliver Barnes and George W. Barnes in 1862 joined a wagon train to leave Missouri and follow the Oregon Trail to Oregon. The brothers settled in the village of Cove, OR, Union Co., OR --- near LaGrande, OR. Mary Eveline may have come with them or come later. After their families were grown, Oliver and George moved to Paradise, Wallowa Co., OR, just a few miles from the WA border. Oliver and perhaps George moved again later farther to Asotin, in Asotin Co., WA. Asotin was by the Snake River (border with Idaho), just a few miles south of the present cities of Clarkston, WA and Lewiston, ID. Oliver and possibly George died in Asotin. Oliver's wife Arminta lived her last days back in Cove, OR, with her daughter Arminta Sills, and died Feb. 6 1920. Looking for ancestors, descendants, cousins and related bits of history. Jim
