I also have Barnetts at Brush Creek, in Alabama. Mine is Levi Marion Barnett. I am sponsoring a participant in the Barnett FT project, but our test hasn't come back yet. BTW, the Levi in my line also had a brother named William.

Also - my brother, who is participant #9 also matches JAck 24/25 markers - so the possibility that his John is the John I have had a hard time pinning down is very good. Also, that #12 is another relative. I LIKE the DNA project.
