Until November of 2002 I had made little progress on my Barnes line....Then I had an email from another researcher inquiring about a post to an Ohio County site....That email was the beginning of breaking through the brickwall I had been at for a few years....In time and with many more emails this researcher and I found out that we were 3rd cousins..... She and I have the same g-g-grandparents.....You can imagine our excitement when we were able to start putting the pieces to our puzzle together....We have now been able to find all of the children born to our gg-grandparents and their spouses and have moved on to finding our ggg-grandparents who we know lived in the Philadelphia area.... Below is the information we have been able to gather on our Barnes family in Pa...This info is from census and city directory files...... James Barnes b. ? d. before 1868 Catherine b. abt 1794 d. ? I believe this couple are the James Lukens Barnes and Catherine Miller that were married in Montgomery County, Pa in 1814..... Children: John Lukens b. abt 1816 d. 1851 David Lenox b. September 14, 1818 d. 1897 Edith L. b. abt 1826 H. B. (possibly Hannah) b. abt 1823 Catherine b. abt 1829 John Lukens Barnes married a Margaret from Virginia.... They had a daughter Catherine..... John died in Pickaway County, Oh and is buried next to 3 children of David Lenox Barnes and his wife Margaret.... David Lenox Barnes married Margaret J. Shannon 1841 in Pickaway County, Oh..... Edith Barnes was not married at age 50.... H. B. Barnes married a Pennock Catherine Barnes married Allen Middleton who was an iron dealer in Philadelphia...She died between 1860-1870.. I believe that James Barnes is from Horsham Twp., Montgomery County, Pa and is related to the Lukens and Palmer families..... Both of these surnames were used as middle names of several in the family..... If anyone has any information on this family I would love to hear from you... ..I have much information on my line and will gladly share.... Thank you, Pat (Barnes) Zielinski
