Melissa - John Thomas' parents were Thomas Barnett and Jane Lane. John was apparently born in Virginia ca 1805/1815. Jane was prob born in Ohio, and prob died there. This was 2nd marr for Thomas. Other children (besides John Thomas, b 1854, OH) were Mary Edna, b 26 Mar 1851, OH; Zachary, b OH, James, b OH & Jane, b OH and died an infant. Very little is known about Thomas. Much more is known about his brother, John Sanford Barnett, b abt 1805 VA, in Lawrence Co., OH in 1850, came to Eddyville, Iowa in 1853. Thomas later came to Eddyville and reportedly died there abt 1870. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa LaTour" <melissalatour@perigee.net> To: <BARNETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 10:24 AM Subject: RE: [BARNETT] William Barnett and Sarah Hart > Frank, do you know anything about where your John Thomas Barnett came > from or who his parents were?

Hi Wava and everyone else: Last night I tried to upload the DNA website. It did not upload correctly. I tried again tonight. I "think" it went up. Let me know if the items I mention are not on the website. Of particular interest to each of us Barnett researchers is the information on the various participants. I have included their lineage from their earliest ancestor, the DNA marker results and the Distance from each participant to each of the other participants. It is possible the ancestor of two of the participants that matched exactly may have come from Pennsylvania prior to the South. The participants themselves need to do more research on their ancestors. In addition others who believe they belong to those progenitors should join the test group or find someone who can take the test (a living male named Barnett and descended from a Barnett). So, Wava, your last name is Barnett. You can not test but your husband, son, brother or other Barnett relatives can. This might be a good Chistmas present to you and your family. The more Barnetts we get in the test group the more we willknow about relationships, migrations and who is really related to whom. The test is just a saliva test. A cotton swab is rubbed over one's inside cheek. Nothing else to it. No blood, etc. There is no name associated with the test material when it is sent to the lab and the material remains in the lab so there is no security problem. The type of testing we are doing has nothing to do with criminal or genetic disease testing. Only specific DYS's (markers) are tested. These markers are tested to show who is related and has simmilar DNA. In criminal and disease studies entirely different markers are used which study other things or try to isolate markers that make one unique rather than similar. Any way visit the website. It is at http://micbarnette.bravepages.com click on DNA Project.

Hi Everyone: I am uploading the new information we have for the Barnett DNA Surname Project. It should be available later tonight after it uploads to the web. The website is http://micbarnette.bravepages.com Then click on the DNA link. We have 7 tests returned (and one unreturned) with some surprising results. With the 7 participants we have at least 4 different groups. 2 people match in one group and three in another. The other 2 participants do not match any of the others. There is quite a bit of information on the website both about DNA/genetics and genealogically about the participants and their DNA results. For one there is a lineage for each participant to give you some information on the ancestor to the participant. Perhaps someone in the group is related to you. There is Results Page that gives the Allelle Markers and their valuations. Associated with that page is a link to a comparison chart that tells the distance between each of the other participants to the individual participant you are then viewing. While we are off to a good start we need more participants. If your name is Barnett either you or a male relative can participate. If you are a woman you can sponsor your male Barnett relative. If your name is not Barnett and you decsend from one, please attempt to find someone in your line who currently carries the surname Barnett and ask them or sponsor them in the test. As families get together during the holiday season try to set up a collection to help defray the cost of soeone taking the test. The price is not all that high but all researchers and non reasearchers alike will benefit from someone taking the test. It is not necessary that all male members of a family take the test however it might be a good idea if at least one male in each living generation or family group participate in the test. For instance first cousins from two sides of a family might take the test. Mutations are normal in DNA. Over a period of generation mutations normally occur and make the markers different even among closely related persons. Sometimes there are mutations between brothers, fathers and/or sons. When mutations are found it is helpful to know who or when the mutation occured. If you are tracing your family and are not very far back DNA testing can help but not solve your problems. It will tell you if you are related to any other participant. Thatis a very big plus. On the down side, the test will not tell you which ancestor is related to the participant's ancestor or specifically which generation from which the two of you relate. The DNA test will simply verify a relationsship exists but nor how it connects. That part is up to you as the researcher. If you would like to join the group click on one of the links on the website.

I have a marriage for a Thomas BARNETT junr and Frances ARNOLD. This marriage took place at St Pancras in Middlesex, England, on July 17, 1848. Thomas was the son of Thomas BARNETT, a farmer. At the time of the marriage he was single, 21+, a butcher and living at Grange Road in St Pancras. Frances was the daughter of William ARNOLD, a baker. She was born late 1828 or early 1829 at Eaton, BED to William and Mary ARNOLD. She was baptised at Eaton Socon, BED, on March 23, 1829. Thomas was born about 1815 and died sometime between 1861 (more likely 1864+) and 1881. Thomas and Frances had at least the following children: Thomas, bc. 1853 Ellen A, bc. 1855 Frances, bc. 1857 Elizabeth A, b. 1860 Kate, bc. 1859 in Kentish Town, MDX Fanny M, bc. 1863 in Kentish Town, MDX Ada, bc 1865 at Huntingdon St Neots, BED If anyone has any connection to this family or has access to the 1861 census images for England, specifically Pancras Kentish Town, I would love to hear from you. I am trying to determine if the Thomas who married Frances ARNOLD is the Thomas BARNETT born in 1815 in Shiplake, OXF, to Thomas BARNETT and Caroline BASSIGNY. Lorraine Wuth

Hello Art, A James Barnett who married Mary (Polly) Stepleton is ascendent of my husband Stephen Barnett; I have done some research, but several others have done much more - among them Mr. Fordyce Logan, Jr. The documented research confirms that this James Barnett married Mary Stepleton on 2 April 1799 in Montgomery County, Virginia. Other have her name documented as Stapleton. But both with the father's name of William. Perhaps these are "your people".

Hi June.........Regarding James Barnett and Polly Stapleton, I received one other reponse with good search suggestions, including the possibility that Polly was not a born Stapleton, but rather a widow Stapleton. That had occured to me, but I cannot find any Stapleton males with the criteria to prove that out. I was born in Palatka, FL in 1927. Came to California 1929 as my father was employed by a bridge building company that built bridges across swift waters. In this case, the Sacramento river at Benicia. A Railroad bridge. There's no Bisbee connection that I know of. As far as I know I am the only one of this branch in this area. However, several of our line ended up in Texas and certainly their descendants move west, too. I have not taken the time required to check out your John Barnett. There are plenty of Johns and James Barnetts. I recall seeing the name on a map and pages of a book I have about Holman's Creek area of Bototourt County Va in the 1750's. There was a family, of whom several males had land grants almost next door to Robert and Charles Stapleton.

Hi Art: According to colonial and early American naming traditions Polly was a nickname for Mary, not Hannah, Elizabeth or Sarah. Going by name/nickname it is not likely Polly was Hannah, Elizabeth or Sarah, daughters of Charles and Sarah Stapleton. If your Polly was born 1770 or before she would have been at least 29 years old in 1799 when she married James Barnett. This is pretty old for a woman's first marriage. If Polly was truely age 29 at the time of her marriage to James Barnett might she be a widow Stapleton, the widow of a man named Stapleton who had died. For this you should check probate (testate and intestate) records. You might check marriage records about 10 years earlier for a Polly/Mary (any last name) to a Stapleton. It is common to find wives signing release of dower rights when their husbands sold land. This is particularly true in Virginia and Kentucky. You might try land records to see if you can find James and Polly selling land. Hopefully, you have worked your census records and know the age of your James and Polly Barnett and see if they fit the age category for someone of the age bracket 1755-1770. You can also check probates (testate and intestate) for parents of James and Polly and see if you can find a Stapleton with a daughter named Polly Barnett or Barnett grandchildren.
