Barnett ( 1825-1874 ) son of Robert ( 1784-1865 ) whose father Alexander ( 1745-1819 ) of Scotch-Irish descent, served in the Revolutionary War from Virginia, and afterward emigrated to Ohio County, Kentucky where with his brother Joseph, he established Barnett's Station, near Hartford. Alexander took up a 1000 acre tract of land north of Hartford and on it built his home. ( Alexander Cemetery is located nearby ) In the division of his property at his death his son Robert acquired that laying on either side of the Livermore Road and abutting the Hartford-Owensboro Road, extending westward into the No Creek community. The portion immediately on the Hartford-Owensboro road was inherited by the son Robert E. and there the above family was born and reared Robert E. Barnett revered learning, and had a hobby of reading ancient history, which accounts for the names of three of his sons, Nester, Junius Brutus, and Ledru Rollin. He was anxious that his children be educated, and he sent his eldest son Elijah, to the state university at Lexington. All of the children after attending Alexander school, were sent to Hartford College. Four other sons went away to school -- Nester to medical school at Louisville, Junius to a college at East St. Louis, Illinois, Uzal and Ledru attended Purdue. Elijah was of a peculiar temperament. Never tried to do anything, although at one time was county surveyor. He was thrown from a horse and his knee was injured and he went about with the aid of a crutch and a cane. Alexander was a printer on the Hartford Herald for many years. His wife was the daughter of Rueben Anderson. Nestor located at Caneyville where he practiced medicine for many years. His wife was of that community, maiden name Whittinghill Junius did railroad work in Kansas, married his wife at Winfield, and soon moved to Los Angeles, California continuing in railroad work. Ledru became an ordained Methodist minister and preached around at various churches in Ohio County. He went to Arkansas in the late 1890's and homesteaded some land in the southwestern corner of the state, near Foreman. Besides farming he preached and taught school. He returned to Ohio County and married Sallie Hamilton, daughter of Carl Hamilton, of near Adaburg. During the last 25 years of their lives they operated a hotel at Batesville, in north Arkansas. enough for today will finish this tomorrow Barbara Barnett Gartrell Barb,
