Hello Cousin, I am also a puzzled Macon County Barfield Descendent: My Great Grandmother was Avie Barfield, b. 1837 GA to John Barfield b. 1823 SC and Dory (Flora) ???? , b. 1834 SC. The whole family is also found in the 1850 Macon County Federal Census HH # 426. I have more information if you're interested. I am also a descendent of Ava's husband , Elias Barnes.

I would like very much to tie them all in- That's why I listed them 3 ways, from the census... I thought I had posted it on Macon Co, but only see the Hill note..Possibly I posted it on Genforum, but anyhow, I broke them down by who they were near...etc. I have been working on them this whole week, while on vacation. John 27 at #426 Charles 45 #424 are the only two I see offhand. ..close together. Charles Family was still young, with a 19 year old SCOthers 16,10 9 etc. Can you tie them together in any way? I listed, on Genforum, the children of Barrett, as I find them. Not the 22 he is supposed to have, but about 19. He was 100 in the 1850 census, with son Jesse Sr. 60.I think all of these around are his children and grandchildren, though another bunch came in later. Your Elias Barnes- Do you by any chance have him traced back to NC? Gerry

My GGF Elias Barnes was born in Georgia in 1834 but his mother Allis Waterwood ??? and FAther William BArnes who died in the Civil War at Virginia were both from North Carolina but I 'm not sure where in NC yet. I belive the John Barfield I spoke of earlier is also in the Macon County 1840 federal census HH#179 so I was'nt able to connect him to Charles Barfield family who was previously traced to Barrett and Jesse Barfield and would have solved my puzzle but as of yet I'm only suspicious. Charles moved to New Boston, Texas and died there in 1892. My Elias Barnes move to New Boston Texas about the same time but he and his wive Ava Barfield stopped at Tishomingo, MIssissippi in the 1870 Census and Quachita Parish Louisiana in the 1880 Federal CEnsus.

To James A Pena [email protected] OK, that's what I was getting at-- they were from NC... A likely place to look for Barnes- and set to look in, would be Elias born 1750's family. I don't think it would be him-because he died 1806 Madison Ky. His son James Tarlton was in the Rev. He was son of Richard born 1723 son of Abraham born 1701 son of Abraham & Sarah McCarty. Richard's son Equillas Rev. Sol., died at Cow Pens. In Wayne the Simon Barnes family is an earlier one. (From Dobbs to Wayne, and Dobbs was once a part of) The family is very plentiful there, and married a lot of my Aycock family. I don't have them all together by a long shot. Just a lot of SCATTERED BARNES. Another bunch- maybe connected to the Wayne ones, because of name similarities.. Thomas Barnes & Dianna Ann Bragg Edwards Barnes & Sara Edward & Sara Pope and my first dates- two sons Dempsey & Capt. Jacob born 1719 Jacob & Juliah Whitley were from Nansemond CO. Va. to Edgecombe where he died 1764 only one son-James, still in Edgecombe had a William still in NC (Wilson Co) Your best place to start would be getting William's Rev. DAR papers...from any DAD member, giving your line. If DAR does not have that, they give the closest they have. Some of the older ones (And you can ask for older ones, rather than recent) give more information. Of course, it is only a starting place to prove from. John shown as son of Barrett on Genforum..I only have born a 1812..no more on him. But if Barrett had 24 children, I am still missing a LOT OF THEM. I have 15 possible, and no proof yet on any. The only other John I found early in that area, and I have gone over lots of records, here, on the internet and at the library- is a John I know about-John Carney born 1802 Jones Co. who died 1872 Taylor So it looks like Barrett's son John is about it... Charles Barfield was on the 1838 Tax List- Ceder Barfield John Hill Whitmill Hill Jr Moses Hill Jesse Barfield Wm. Barfield Redin Barfield Enos Barfield Charles Barfield Sr. Whitmill Hill Sr. Jesse Hill Archibald Hill-my husband's ancestor William Barfield Sr Charles Barfield (Again) Harlee Barfield Enos Barfield Wiley Hill Slaughter Hill (Brother of Arch) John Hill Jr No Barnes then-and they listed these with no property too. So I was not able to really find anything definite, but thought I'd give you a way or two to go! Gerry Josiah Hill Josiah Hill
