Vicki: My Barnetts come from VA, so wonder if we might have a connection there, so here are mine: James Barnett 1730 to 1791 - places unknown Col. James Barnett, Jr. - 1742 to 1808 - Augusta County, VA married to Ann Rachel Clements (and yes, I know that Sr. was born in 1730 and JR in 1742, which is unlikely, so someone made a mistake along the line there.) Jr. and Ann had: Reson/Reizen/Reason Barnett born in 1775 - 1821 and he married Elizabeth Fast and they had: Philip Barnett in 1808 - 1863 and he married Mary Polly Creager/Criger and they had: Philip was born in Wythe County, VA and is buried in Tazewell, VA. Philip and Mary had 10 children, the 6th one being Nannie Barnett, my husband's great grandmother.

Okay, I have to add my two cents worth now. I just can't stand it anymore!! FIRST: Please remember -- a junior and a senior DOES NOT have to be a father and son. In fact it quite often WAS NOT SUCH. A junior could be a grandson of the senior, it could be a nephew of the senior or in some rare incidents it could be an uncle of the senior. It was a child named for someone else, usually a relative of an older generation. Therefore the birth dates are insignificant to the relationship. Also, if you inherit research from another family member, they may have a "junior" down as a son when in actuality he was a nephew or grandson. Thank You. SECOND: For those of you researching the family of John and Katherine FARRER BARNETT -- I have a different wife for the younger John BARNETT -- unfortunately my memory just went blank and my record is not at hand so I'll have to address her name later. I believe this is so based on information contained in the Douglas Register for St James Northam Parish in which are also recorded births for several of Joseph & Lucy WADE BARNETT and William & his wife BARNETT. THIRD: in some of these records, the transcriber or the original author wrote BARNETT as BARNARD i.e. -- again the Douglas Register where John & his wife are BARNETT for a son's birth and BARNARD for a daughter's. In the same record Lucy is WADE and RED -- such are some of the joys of family history research. Again, Thank You, Diane in Indiana
