Hello group Thought I would post the Barnett's I am researching: My maternal grandfather, Jacob Edmond BARNETT of the son of WM. ALFRED BARNETT and LIZZIE " Elizabeth" MAY ELLEN DOWNS of Canton, MO, Lewis County. Wm. Alfred's father, JOSEPH BARNETT, was from Greensburg, KY. The 1850 census shows him there. He was born 16Jul1830 and died 04Apr 1906 and is buried in Canton, MO. He married ELIZABETH ANDERSON 13Mar1868. She is also buried in Canton, MO at Forest Grove Cemetery. He fought for the North in the Civil War. I have his records. Evidently he was captured twice but released and drew disability (pension) from the war. I believe. Joseph's other children , as related to me by grandmother, were CATHERINE BARNETT/DILLION, b.17Jul1869 d.16May1912, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BARNETT b,13Dec1871 married FLORA ALICE WELLS b.(Jul1873), WM. ALFRED (my great-grandfather) b.12Jun1874 Lewis Co, MO d.26Mar1938, married Lizzie May Ellen "Elizabeth" Barnett b. 04Mar1879 d.08Feb1954, JAMES THOMAS b.07Feb1880 Monticello MO married Mary Gilbert, and ALVIRAS BARNETT b.11Apr1885 d. 17Mar1961 in Rock Island , IL who married Mary Alice Spaulding of Rock Island IL.b.14Apr1892, My grandfather Joseph Edmond Barnett, son of Wm. Alfred was b. 08Nov1908 in Farmington, IA d. 29Dec1979 married Dora Marie Barnett b. 05Jan1914 still living had three sons and two daughters, one of which is my mother. Do any of these sound familiar to anyone. I would appreciate your help. Have information to swap. There is also another family of Barnetts in Hancock, Co. Illinois that I haven't been able to connect to our group from Missouri or Kentucky. My neighbor's mother's maiden name was RESI(sp?) pronounced Roosie, BARNETT. She grew up in southeast section of Hancock Co. Illinois Thanks and hope to hear from someone who may be related to this group. Paula in Illinois
