In reply to Betty Jo: Barnesville is in Robeson County, NC, near the town of Orrum, maybe about 10-15 miles from the SC state line. Don't know how long the small community has been called Barnesville, but my newly-wed grandmother lived at Barnesville with her parents in 1918 while my grandfather was in France. Jo Church Dickerson >> Has anyone ever heard of a community in NC by the name of Barnwell or Barnville? I think it must have been just over the line. This should have been in the early 1900's. >>
Reply to Jo: Thanks. My Mother was born there. She just had the name a little wrong. Betty Jo
