I am also a descendant of Archie and Harriett Barnes through their son Calvin (my great-grandfather). Calvin's son was my grandfather Johnny Lee Barnes. All of my family have been based in the Lawrence County area for generations and I have done extensive research on the family back to Samuel and Dorcas Barnes (in fact, was able to find the names of her parents, including her Choctaw father, and other missing siblings and children of hers). I'm also researching any connection to Bournes. Unfortuntately, my research has not given me a lot of information on Archie, Harriett, my great-grandfather Calvin and their other children, particularly any relation to Thompsons (one census showed 2 granddaughters, Caroline and Alta Thompson living with them). Can you help? I would be very grateful as I have hit a wall here. february191955, I would love to get a copy of Archie's death certificate and the names of any other children/grandchildren. Thanks so much, cousins! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
