I post the following periodically hoping that someone new might see it, but I just recently received some more information on William and Elizabeth's children. Looking for ancestors, information on William Barnett b. March 20, 1825. I do not know where. His mother's maiden name may possibly have been Ballew. He married Elizabeth Caroline Allen possibly on March 28, 1847 in Gallatin, Illinois. There is a record of an EC Allen marring a William Barnett on that date but do not know if this is the same couple. I have names of three children, there may have been more, Mollie, Rhoda, and James Zacharia. James Zacharia is my line. (Received the following information in an e-mail. Feel reasonably sure that this is my William and Elizabeth. 1860 Hamilton Co., IL Census has Barnett, William 34 Elizabeth C. 34 Sarah F. 13 Alem 8 James Z. 5 Mary L. 4 Angeline 10 months Either Mollie and Rhoda are not William's and Elizabeth's children, or they were born after the 1860. Right now I am assuming they were born after 1860.) Do not know where the children were born, but James Zacharia married Lourella (Lilly) Tiora Gibson February 1, 1883 probably in McLeansboro, Illinois, or at least in Illinois because their first child was born in McLeansboro, Illinois. James' and Lilly's children are Eben Elben, Bertha E., William Wilson, and Charley Washington. I have more information on some of these lines, and can trace from William Barnett to myself. If you think you see a connection, please contact me, and you might want to visit my web site also.
