Hi Linda, The earliest Barnes I have is a James & Mariah/Maria DANELE/DANIEL Barnes, James was born abt. 1810 in NC, Mariah born abt 1814 in SC, children that I have for them so far are - Allen b. abt 1836, Rebecca J b. abt 1840, William b. abt 1846, Barnett W. b. Feb. 1849, Charles F. b. Nov. 1853, Susan b. 1858, James W. b. abt 1863, this is from the 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 Stewart County census. I don't know any of James brothers or sisters so I don't know if this is the same line as your Barbary. Let me know if you think there is a connection. Brenda
