    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Renee_Merrill Surnames: Barnes, Bourne, Bournes, Thompson, Shawnee Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ethnic.afam.ms/1503/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, I am the great-great granddaughter of Archie and Harriet Barnes who lived in the Monticello (Lawrence County), MS area from approx. 1848-1910s. Their son Calvin (abt 1864-abt 1930) was my great-grandfather and he married a woman named Ella (maiden name possibly "Shawnee" or something like it) and had my grandfather Lee Barnes (1909-1978). All lived in/around Lawrence County, MS Archie and Harriet lived in Lawrence County, while other relatives lived both there and in Jefferson Davis County. Archie's parents were names Samuel and Dorcas Barnes (both ~1822-~1920). I have only found information on their son Calvin, but I'm wondering if there are other children as they also had two granddaughters, Caroline and Alva Thompson, living with them during the 1900 census. The Barnes family is also connected with the Bourne(s) family. Any information on Samuel, Dorcas, Archie, Harriet, Calvin or any other family members (birth/death dates, etc.) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
