Hi Audrey, I was in the Edgecombe Co. Courthouse at Taraboro & Nash Co. Courthouse in Nashville, last summer. So many Barnes' have the same first name, hard to keep straight. Also some of the wills have been sent to Raleigh to the State Archives. Hope to make a trip there this summer. There is a Sherrod/Sherred/Shurwood Barnes in the Census' of Darlington & Sumter Counties of 1810,30,40,60. Since his oldest son is named Junuis Ethalbert Sherrod--must be a family connection somewhere. Another theory is J.J.>Allen Barnes>Jacob Barnes, B1770, >Jesse Whitley Barnes, B 1740. But no sources to prove it. Thanks for any help you can give. Paula

Paula, This is very encouraging! I also see that only our Jacob FLOWERS (connecing link to BARNES) was the only brother that went to Darlington our of my group. I have much to share if you want.

Paula, I must have missed your first post. Can you please tell me what branch of the Barnes family is yours? Thanks.
