    1. [BARNETT] Henry Lewis Barnett - Georgia
    2. Mark Barnett
    3. I am looking for information on Henry Lewis Barnett born about 1851. He is listed as the father on Jesse Sanford Barnett's deather certificate. Jesse was born June 05, 1882 in Georgia and died December 07, 1938 in Symrna, GA. Jesse's mother was listed as Susie Saddler on the death certificate but I think he was married to Sarah J Stephens, born about 1854. I believe that Henry Lewis Barnett was the son of Nathan Barnett, born about 1819 in SC, married to Amanda Frances Johnson as per Atlanta Constitution newspaper article dated August 30, 1888. "A fatal accident happened at B.W. Johns's sawmill near Warsaw, Milton County, last Monday. Mr. Henry Barnett, son of Mr. Nathan Barnett, was bearing off lumber from the saw, when the saw struck a plank in the hands of Mr. Barnett and jerked him so severly that he fell on the saw, which was running rapidly, cutting off his right arm and cutting three deep gashes across his breast. He lived about fifteen minutes after the accident." I have no other tie between Henry and Jesse other than the death certificate and the newspaper article. As Jesse was born after 1880. Other children of Henry and Sarah are Marietta Barnett, born June 1877, died 1920, married to Berry Garmon Robert N Barnett, born about 1879 in Georgia Annie J Barnett, born about 1888, married Jesse T. Garrett in 1906 Possibly a fifth child, ? Barnett 1910 Milton Co., GA census shows Sarah J Barnett (living with Annie) had 5 children - 4 living. First time I can find Jesse in the census is 1910 in Gwinnett CO, GA Regards Mark Barnett
