George: While I can not answer your question you have some administrative problems to deal with. First, there was no Fulton County, GA until 1854. The land was there but it was in DeKalb County. Fulton was created in 1854 from DeKalb. It is possible your family was living in DeKalb County in 1840 you can see which Barnetts lived there then by checking teh 1840 census. Atlanta (now in Fulton County) did not even become a village until the late 1840's. It was not untill about 1849 when the train companies decided to create Terminus which is where Atlanta is today. It was the point where several train companies ended their train lines at what they called Mile Post 0. It became an important location by the time of teh Civil War. You should also be checking the 1850 census as it is the first to name all persons in the household. Your Francis Marion would be a 10 year old child in his father's household. I would look at all the counties from DeKalb eastward in Goegria to the South Carolina line-They were probably coming from the western area of SC-Pendelton-Spartanburg-Greenville counties would be a likely area. With a name like Francis Marion Barnett you are definitly looking for a Barnett family with South Carolina roots. You guy's ancestor likely was in the Revolution from SC and probably fought under Francis Marion.
