My source (Oswald Jett, in his book about Hancock County and the frontier) has William b. Feb 1760 marrying Susanna Short 4-26-1804 in Washington County. Naturally, this makes William a really old guy by the time he's having children, so your date looks better. Then his children are Byram (b. ca. 1807), Solomon (b. 9-15-1808), Nancy (b. ca. 1811), William (this one's mine) (b. ca. 1813), James (b. ca. 1817), Rebecca (b. ca. 1818), Reason Y. (one of my favorite names) (b. ca. 1823), Mary Jane (b. ca. 1825), and Basha Ann (b. ca. 1829). I'm not sure how Oswald makes these conclusions, but I think at least some of this is probably interpolated or guessed from census records, etc. Let me look at some more Susanna Short Barnett stuff here, because I think -- well yes, here it is-- Nancy Barnett marries Japheth Skinner "at the home of her mother, Susan Barnett, near Pellville" (1853). but your record has Susanna dying in 1833. Well. As I said, I don't know what Oswald's sources are, and that indicates I need to check his stuff out more thoroughly! Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your search! Pam << Hello Paula! I have a William Barnett b. 1790 VA, d. aft. 1870 Lawrence Co., TN, who married Susannah Short b. April 01, 1792 VA, d. July 08, 1833 Lawrence Co. TN. They had the following children: Ephriam Barnett, b. August 6, 1812 Melinda Barnett, b. July 11, 1813 Jesse Barnett, b. June 11, 1815 Charles Barnett, b. 1816 John Oliver Barnett, b. May 8, 1822, TN/KY (my great-great grandfather) George Washington Barnett, b. Sept. 19, 1829 William Barnett next married Susannah White, b. abt. 1816 TN, and married abt. 1835. They had the following children: Francis M. Barnett, b. 1837 Newton C. Barnett, b. 1839 Lyddia M. Barnett, b. 1842 Piety Ann Barnett, b. Oct. 16, 1844 I recently linked my connection to John Oliver Barnett to this family. I received the information from Barbara Barnett Suddeth ([email protected]). Your William J. Barnett might fit into this family between Melinda (1813) and Jesse (1815). William wasn't mentioned in the information I received from Barbara Barnett Suddeth. I am forwarding this message to her. I have only recently made my link with William Barnett and Susannah Short, so Barbara should be a better judge of whether you also might have a link. It sounds like you have an i
