There are several JOHN BARNETT men who are claimed to be the son of John and Katherine Barnett - but NO PROOF as to which is the real John Barnett. I am descended from Joseph Barnett b.1831 died in Spartanburg Co, SC - the only proof a registered genealogist was able to put together was that our Joseph was the ONLY one by name of "Joseph" in Goochland Co, Va in the correct time period and two of his children's births were registered in the Douglas Register. I wish we could prove which John was their John and Katherine Farrar's son. I have been researching over 40 years and we have MANY lost Barnett descendants. Janice Craft

Not always true. My english great-great grandfather spelled it Barnett. His son, my great grand uncle, spelled it Barnette. Go figure. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2000 12:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: BARNETT-D Digest V00 #96 OK, to begin, there are several ways to spell the name in question.

Dear list members I have rejoined the barnett list after an absence. I am seeking information on a James BARNETT. He was born on July 24, 1814 at Hambleden, Bucks, England. Hambleden is very near to Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire and it is possible that he gave his place of birth as Henley. He grew up just out of Henley at Harpsden. At the time of the 1851 census (in England) James was living a Rotherfield Greys (just a short distance from Henley), he was unmarried and his occupation was brewers clerk. he was 36 years old. I don't know what happened to James after that date except that he went to America, had a family and died in 1888, probably in the second half of the year but before November. Does anyone connect with this James or have any clues as to how I can trace him? Lorraine Wuth Canberra, Australia

There is a Simson Barnett-age 55 listed in the 1880 Giles Co., TN. Census with wife Martha-age 23 and daughter Alice-10 and son Charles-age 6. I am assuming that this Simson could be spelled Simpson. Does anyone on this list know anything about a Simson or Simpson Barnett? Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: James Steve Sanders To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 7:45 AM Subject: Alice Barnett mar. John W. Coker-TN. Does anyone have an Alice Barnett who married a John W. Coker in their records. I don't know date and place of marriage. I have checked several counties (Giles Co, TN. and Lawrence Co., TN.-no record found). However they had at least 1 daughter Annie Mae Coker who was born 1888/89 in Lawrence Co., TN. I have no further info on Alice Barnett Coker, but she must have had family in Giles Co. or Lawrence Co., TN. I don't know when Alice died, but her husband, John W., married again at some point (had to be after 1888/89) to a Molly Moore or Sherman (don't know dates on this either). John W. migrated to TX. probably early 1900's. Does anyone have knowledge about this Alice Barnett? I have no info at all on her other than the above. Judy

Hi Regency350-(who ever you are)! I am not sure where you are looking and not finding anything. Genealogy is nothing, but, detective work! You need to put your Sherlock hat on! You might wish to ask your local librarian if there is a class being taught in your town. Assuming there is, take it! Ask your librarian if there is a genealogical society in your town. Assuming there is one, join it! You might see if your library has a book that you can borrow on how to begin genealogical research. If they do not have one you can borrow, I sell genealogical books in my store at http://barnettesbooks.com . I have several good ones. Unpuzzling Your Past by Croom (about $15) Researchers guide To American Genealogy by Greenwood. (about $30) There is a new on by Lou Szucs, too. I have it in the store, but forgot the title. (about $15) Have you tried the US Census records? If you do not have them in a library where you live you can order them from an LDS (Mormon) Family History Center. If the people you seek were not alive in 1920 this step is premature. Birth records will be in the county and state where the birth occurred. Death certificates will be filed in the county and state where the event occurred. Divorce records will be filed in the county where the divorce occurred. If your grandmother is alive you can ask her or a sibling of hers if they are alive about the situation. If your grandmother was divorced, there will be a record in the county of the divorce. There might be a record of or a reference to the divorce in the county where she moved. You grandmother's birth and death certificate (if she is dead) should have the names of her parents on it. Her obituary should have the names of any surviving siblings and children. You should be able to contact them by asking of their whereabouts from other relatives or doing searches on the Internet. Hope this gives you some ideas. Good Luck, MIC Mic Barnette writes a genealogy column in the Houston Chronicle.

OK, to begin, there are several ways to spell the name in question. Barnet- is Jewish, Barnett- is English, Barnette- is French. This certainly gave me something to think about, and perhaps it will some of the namesake's out in Cyberspace. I have been searching for any information on my grandparents for a very long time and find nothing on my grandmother. Her name was Mary Ellen Barnett, or one of the other spellings.

I have been researching my BARNETT line for over 40 years - I go back to John Barnett and Katherine Farrar. BUT I have found several different John Barnett (Jr.) that claim to be the son of John and Katherine. Frankly, I don't believe it will be possible to PROVE which one of those Johns is the son of old John and Katherine. And I have never found any records that tell the names of the parents of old John Barnett! I have studied the land records in Goochland Co, Virginia and I can't find any proof about old John's parents. Janice Craft "Kerry L.

IRISH RECORDS EXTRACTION DATABASE (Update adding Bhoerbue, Cork County, Ireland Baptisms, 1833-64) This database of Irish vital records now has more than 130,000 names. It contains records of births, marriages, deaths, burials, cemeteries, wills, immigration, census, and so forth from locations in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. The records include information from as early as 1600 and as late as 1874 and comes from otherwise inaccessible or hard-to-find collections. Whenever possible, new records were created from end-of-line records, thereby extending the data into the past at least one more generation. This update adds Bhoerbue, Cork County, Ireland baptisms between 1833 and 1864 to this already valuable database. Researchers should also note that the compiler continues to add to the file at a rate of several thousand entries a month. These additions will be included in quarterly updates.

Diane (and other Barnett researchers) I am very interested to know what wife you have for the younger John Barnett - I have struggled for years trying to identify my John Barnett and have found MANY connections between my line and the Barnett/Farrar line - but the wife doesn't match. My line is John Barnett m. Ann ? (John m2 Elizabeth Hutchins) ch: Athanacius, b. 1749; Anna, b. ca 1751; Martha, b. ca 1753; and possibly 2 others. I descend from Athanacius and Jane Hutchins Barnett (Jane is sister to Elizabeth who married the father John) Does any of this look familiar? Thanks for any input to this nagging question!

Hello: I have something to share. This afternoon I saw something that probably will have been the only opportunity in my life time to see. Friends invited me to go with them to Nauvoo, just about ten miles north of me in Hancock, Co, IL, to see the exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls sponsored by the LDS and the Brigham Young University. We think we have a hard time deciphering and interpreting older records, some of you may have, and are able to translate foreign records, but this is would be a challenge that I would never be able to take on. I was amazed beyond words to have been able to actually have seen a small fragment of a silver scroll found in one of the caves along the Dead Sea. Other artifacts in the exhibit were an oil light from one of the caves and coins found in the ancient area of Quaram. I am not a Mormon, but found the exhibit enlighting and would recommend it to any one of any faith to see. I enjoy history, as probably all genealogists and Bible history and as I said earlier it was awesome. I believe the hours are Monday through Saturday, now until August 30, 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 6. Hours and other information could probably be accessed at their website at www.lds.org. So if you have or have had any relatives in HancockCo., or near-by surrounding counties such as Adams, Henderson, Fulton, McDonough, Knox, in IL and need somewhere to go on vacation,this would be a great side trip. Bye Paula in Hancock, Co. IL "mailto:[email protected]"

Okay, I have to add my two cents worth now. I just can't stand it anymore!! FIRST: Please remember -- a junior and a senior DOES NOT have to be a father and son. In fact it quite often WAS NOT SUCH. A junior could be a grandson of the senior, it could be a nephew of the senior or in some rare incidents it could be an uncle of the senior. It was a child named for someone else, usually a relative of an older generation. Therefore the birth dates are insignificant to the relationship. Also, if you inherit research from another family member, they may have a "junior" down as a son when in actuality he was a nephew or grandson. Thank You. SECOND: For those of you researching the family of John and Katherine FARRER BARNETT -- I have a different wife for the younger John BARNETT -- unfortunately my memory just went blank and my record is not at hand so I'll have to address her name later. I believe this is so based on information contained in the Douglas Register for St James Northam Parish in which are also recorded births for several of Joseph & Lucy WADE BARNETT and William & his wife BARNETT. THIRD: in some of these records, the transcriber or the original author wrote BARNETT as BARNARD i.e. -- again the Douglas Register where John & his wife are BARNETT for a son's birth and BARNARD for a daughter's. In the same record Lucy is WADE and RED -- such are some of the joys of family history research. Again, Thank You, Diane in Indiana

Looking for ancestors, information on William Barnett b. March 20, 1825. I do not know where. His mother's maiden name may possibly have been Ballew. He married Elizabeth Caroline Allen possibly on March 28, 1847 in Gallatin, Illinois. There is a record of an EC Allen marring a William Barnett on that date but do not know if this is the same couple. I have names of three children, there may have been more, Mollie, Rhoda, and James Zacharia. James Zacharia is my line. Do not know where the children were born, but James Zacharia married Lourella (Lilly) Tiora Gibson February 1, 1883 probably in McLeansboro, Illinois, or at least in Illinois because their first child was born in McLeansboro, Illinois. James' and Lilly's children are Eben Elben, Bertha E., William Wilson, and Charley Washington. I have more information on some of these lines, and can trace from William Barnett to myself. If you think you see a connection, please contact me, and you might want to visit my web site also.

I made an error in subject box of e-mail posted 07Jul2000, while cutting and pasting. Joseph did not have eleven brothers and one sister nor was he a fur trapper from Germany. Joseph had six other brothers, it is believed. The eleven brothers and sisters and fur trappers are another line I am researching. They are the HESS family. Paula:-)

--part1_67.68657af.26997d45_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I've been rather slow to read all my e-mails so I've just read the one from Mic Barnette. This is really interesting because when reading some note by my now deceased Grandmother, Wanda Caroline Barnett I discovered that she had written some of our family Barnett names as Barnett(e). I wondered about it but found no answers. By the time I was born, the Barnetts were recorded by family members as Barnett. Thank you for some new insight.

My grandftaher added the e in the 1920's. The story he told me was that if we spelled our name: Barnet we would be Jewish Barnett we would be English Barnette we would be French. So, my grandfather was born English and I was born French! I had a neighbor in Atlanta, GA. One day she informed me her maiden name was Barnett. (Maybe it was Barnet, she did not spell it for me) I knew she was Jewish and I knew she was born in Poland. Something told me to ask her what her name was BEFORE it was Barnet(t) She told me it was Berjenski (or however she might have spelled it) MIC Mic Barnette writes a genealogy column in the Houston Chronicle.

Vicki: My Barnetts come from VA, so wonder if we might have a connection there, so here are mine: James Barnett 1730 to 1791 - places unknown Col. James Barnett, Jr. - 1742 to 1808 - Augusta County, VA married to Ann Rachel Clements (and yes, I know that Sr. was born in 1730 and JR in 1742, which is unlikely, so someone made a mistake along the line there.) Jr. and Ann had: Reson/Reizen/Reason Barnett born in 1775 - 1821 and he married Elizabeth Fast and they had: Philip Barnett in 1808 - 1863 and he married Mary Polly Creager/Criger and they had: Philip was born in Wythe County, VA and is buried in Tazewell, VA. Philip and Mary had 10 children, the 6th one being Nannie Barnett, my husband's great grandmother.

Vickie: I descend from 7. Edward BARNETT, son of John and Katherine (FARRAR) BARNETT. Edward was born abt 1734 Goochland Co, VA, died after 4 Feb 1819 in Spartanburg Co. , SC. He married bef 1770 in VA to a Quaker girl named Martha. Her last name is thought to be STANLEY, but this is not proven. Edward and Martha had one daughter, Jane BARNETT, b 10 Dec 1770 VA, d after 1852 Hawkins Co., TN. Jane married John CANTWELL on 10 Dec 1791 in Spartanburg Co., SC. Jane and John CANTWELL had 10 children, which is well-documented in John's Rev. War Pension records. My line of descent is from their son Edward "Ned" CANTWELL. I would like to hear from other BARNETT descendants. Good Luck! Nancy W.
