Hello Kenneth and Debbie, I have Barnett's/ Spratt's, and others and a Smith also that was connected to Barnett's / Biggers/ Campbells/ Adams/ Armstrongs etc in NC and the York Co S C. This was just Carolina and was divided to North and South sometime in late 1700' s and York Co was part or Mechleburgh before N and S Carolina was formed from just Carolina. This makes the same people in same place but the area changed names. There are lots of these people in the Bethel Church Cem in York Co S C and it is on net. I would like to find th Smith that mar into these families.
