To any of the Barnes that might be interested, A friend of mine in MS. sent me a picture of some Barnes thinking it might be mine, so far I have no proof and don't think they are but, I did save the picture, he sent front and back, it was in pictures his Mom had and he thinks they were just friends of theirs. The picture is of four generations, and the names are: Nancy Ann Hankins Barnes, James Wilson Barnes, (looks like) Ostus Sylester Barnes, Not sure what the next name is but middle name is lou, Last name is Jphn Wilson Barnes. I will be glad to share this photo with anyone interested. Lorene At 11:33 AM 9/20/2004 -0500, Mary Hearn wrote: >Your email is the 1st I've seen with connections to MS.
