Hi Emma, and any others who may be connected to any of these names. To answer your question below, sorry I don't at this time have a good answer. He could very well be related. I don't have all the pieces from 1835 on in Morgan Co at around Miningtown or Miningport,,Missouri to Grayson Co Tx. I am sure he is from WILLIAM B 1777?? Here is some of what I have. I'm listing what i just got yesterday from a Historical Center. I know this is my Barnett's as I had these names and places mostly but not all dates and the immigrant THOMAS b 1719. THOMAS BARNETT , Immigrant, b ca 1719 in Ireland, mar. MARTHA SPRATT and had 3 known children before coming to America. 1. THOMAS BARNETT b 18 Apr. 1750 in Ire, d 1813 and is bur. in Bethal Churchyard, York co S C, mar. MARTHA PATRICK 2. WILLIAM BARNETT b 1758 d 23 Aug. 1785 mar. MARY BRUMFIELD bur. in Steel Creek Churchyard at Mecklenburg Co. S C 3 ELIZABETH BARNETT b 1765 in IRE. d 19 May 1841. She mar. SAMUEL NEELY Bur. Bethel Churchyard, York Co S C THOMAS BARNETT mar. MARTHA PATRICK and had 6 Children. 1. ALEXANDER BARNETT B 10 Aug. 1774 d 18 May 1851 mar. RACHAEL ADAMS. 2. and 3. TWINS, b 18 Feb. 1779. Catherine d. 22 Jul 1829 and MARY d 9 Nov 1860. 4. WILLIAM S. BARNETT b ca 1777 5. CYNTHIA BARNETT b 6 Dec. 1786 d 6 Aug. 1824 6. JOHN BARNETT b ca 1789 in VA CATHERINE mar. Isaac HENRY and are Bur. in Goshen Churchyard, in Gaston Co. JOHN BARNETT's place of burial is unknown , but the rest of the family is bur. in Bethel Churchyard, York Co S I was not able to make exact dates match but names etc. do. I was unable to locate a Robert Sylvanus Armstrong BARNETT but within the BARNETT IMFORMATION we have found severel BARNETT men mar. to CAMPBELLS and one Female mar. to an ARMSTRONG> I also found a WILLIAM BARNETT mar. to a RHODA who had a son THOMAS but that was all of the imformation included for them. ABOVE IS WHAT WAS QUOTED TO ME IN THIS MESSAGE RECIEVED FROM THE HISTORICAL CENTER on 1 Oct. 1999 yesterday. (Now I will add to this what else I have which does substantiate the above imformation of which I am contacting them to furnish me with the rest they have. Maxine) The WILLIAM BARNETT is the one she has b to the second THOMAS in 1777 and mar to the RHODA ( CAMPBELL). They are the parents of ROBERT SYLVANUS ARMSTRONG BARNETT, known as R S A BARNETT when he got to Grayson Co Tx. Somewhere I have more children to WILLIAM and RHODA BARNETT not at my hands at present. I will have to check Census records in Mo. Morgan Co. and possibly other places before they went to Tx. I'm not sure if William went or not but I beleive more of the siblings of R S A and ch of William did as R S A did. WILLIAM S BARNETT ( I believe the S stands for SYLVANAS)was one of the early settlers in Morgan Co. Mo settleing in TWP 42 Range 17 southwest or northwest section 6, 25 Apr. 1835. Same WILLIAM was a Member of Morgan Co Mo Court in 1836. It is probably the same BARNETT"S that moved to Grayson Co Tx and mar. into the Anderson White family. THe WHITE Family also was in same place in Mo. DICY ELLEN WHITE mar. R S A BARNETT in GRAYSON CO TX 19 Jan 1854 R S A BARNETT was the son of WILLIAM S Barnett and RHODA CAMPBELL , she b. 1795. Both RHODA and WILLIAM were b in York Co S C> R S A was b 29 Apr. 1827 also in York Co. S C. Dicy and R S A BARNETT were parents of four ch. WILLIAM ANDERSON, b 1855, CYNTHIA ELIZABETH b ca 1857 ?, mar. Harry C. West, JAMES DAVIS b 1860 mar. Cora Champion, .and an infant b and d same day in 1863. Dicy also died the same day. and were they bur. together. WILLIAM ANDERSON BARNETT mar. MARY S LANE 11 Oct. 1874 Grayson Co Tx.. They had JOHN ROBERT BARNETT b 7 Oct 1875 in Farmington, Grayson , Tx. Mary S Lane died after the birth of JOHN date is unconfirmed at this time. but prob. abt 1877/78. as John told family he was 3yrs old and some say just after John was born. His father WILLIAM ANDERSON remarried abt Sept. 1878. to SARAH ANN HAYES in Grayson Co tx. JOHN ROBERT BARNETT went with his father and step mother and new siblings abt 1889 to AARAGO, COOS CO Ore. via Salt Lake, Blue Mts into Ore following the OLD OREGO TRAIL, and south at The Dallas to Willamete valley., Or.e by Wagon Train. The families left behind didn't hear from them again and in abt 1985 when a descendant went to Farmington Tx to check for surviving relatives after almost 100 yrs., it was found out that they had thought the Barnett's had been killed by Indians.
