Mic, thank you so much for he information and the help I certainly will follow your advice . i know Berry W. had a son named Matthew abraham , he mostly just went by abraham he was born in 1834 in Georgia. He married a Mary Ann Veal in June 1853. Somewhere around 1900 it could have been a few years earlier than 1900 he moved his family to Robertson county Tex I found him on the 1900 census there. But I didn't see Berry W. in his household I"m thinking he might have been already dead. Abraham was his eldest son. He also had a son a little younger than Abraham named William P. He married Mary Ann Veals , abrahams wife sister her name was Catherine they had a son named joseph Barnett Living with his grandfather alexander veal in Paulding co. Ga in 1880 the boys age was 17. Matthew abraham & Mary Ann Veal are buried at Mt. Pleasent cem. in Robertson co Tex i have been there many times,also abraham was a CSA vet. Carolyn Stephenson

Carolyn: I do not know where you live in Texas. Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston all have an excellent collection at their genealogical libraries. In addition you can search TexShare on the Internet if you have a library card which is free from your local public library. Your librarian can tell you how to access TexShare. On Texshare you can search Heritage Quest 1790-1930 (what they have online. What is not now online will be added later this year) censuses free. Without the library card there is a subscription fee. OR you might wish to join Ancestry. They have much of the 1790-1930 census online. If you have a male Barnett cousin or relative ask them to join our Barnett DNA surname project. I have been working on the website. I have the 1790 Census for Barnetts of most all states on the website. My DNA marker results are posted and results for a couple more people are expected in the near future. It will be start to get interesting when more Barnett results come in. http://micbarnette.bravepages.com scroll down and click on the DNA project. MIC
