My BARNETTs start with David BARNETT and sons, John and William, living in Newark, NJ in the early 1820s. William went to MA and married Nancy Wheeler in 1826 in Medway. Daughter Matilda was born 1833, and William in 1837, both in MA. By 1840, the family was back in NJ with a 3rd child, George AC, born 1839 in Rahway, NJ. Matilda returned to Boston and never married. William and George served together in the Civil War in Hawkin's Zouaves. William was killed in action, but George survived and had a long life as an attorney in New York City. He died in 1914, and was my great-grandfather. Also seeking other relatives, Oliver and Eddie Barnett, who lived in NY and NJ around 1890-1910. Anyone connect? Any suggestions?
