Hello, Glad to be aboard! My great-great-great grandfather is James Barnes. He married a Betsey ? According to the 1850 census, he was in Clarkson, Monroe County, New York. He moved to Michigan in the mid 1855 and is in Antwerp Twshp, in Van Buren County, Michigan with her, listed in the 1860 census and then him in the 1870 in Geneva Twpship, Van Buren County, Michigan. I don't know her maiden name, or the year of their wedding. He would have been born in 1800 and her 1797 according the census. I assume around 1820 based on their ages and a son born in 1822. Any help on them would be greatly appriciated. They had 2 children that I know of. James born, in 1822 and S/cynthia born in 1835. She is with them in the 1850 census. James married an Anna ? , who was born in the 1840's and they had 4 boys, one Franklin who may have been born in New York, around 1853. I do not have his birth record. There is a James born the right year in Clarkson but the wife is Mary Ann, I don't know if this is a possible first wife? James was older when he married Anna so this might be the case. There is another young James and a Daniel listed with them in 1850, i Dont know anything about them. I'm really looking for more record of them in and around clarkson. James 1822 married a Sarah See/Sei in michigan in 1863, her family is listed as clarkson as well. I dont have any birth or marriage info on james and betsey or james and anna. please help!! thanks. greg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
