Surnames: Barnes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kg.2ADI/291.292.1 Message Board Post: I am also looking for information on Ninevah Barnes. It appears that he bought land in Pike County, IL, in 1832, 1836, and 1845 and in Randolph County, IL, in 1839. Did he raise his family in Pike County, and if so, who was his family? Where did he come from before Illinois? What was his connection to Randolph County, IL? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
