Il am fairly new to the group. I haven't had much time to work on genealogy lately but file all the e-mails for later. My grandfather was a BARNETT. His parents were WM. ALFRED and LIZZIE MAY ELLEN DOWNS of Canton, MO, Lewis County. Wm. Alfred's father JOSEPH BARNETT was from Greensburg, KY. He was born 16Jul1830 and died 04Apr 1906 and is buried in Canton, MO. He married SOPHIA ELIZABETH ANDERSON 13Mar1868. She is also buried in Canton, MO. Joseph served in the Civil War. I have his records. evidently he was captured twice but released and drew disability from the war. Their other children were CATHERINE BARNETT/DILLION, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BARNETT married FLORA ALICE WELLS, JAMES THOMAS married Mary Gilbert, and ALVIRAS BARNETT who married Mary Alice Spaulding of Rock Island IL. 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. Il that I haven't been able to connect.
