Patty, My sister married Alba Leroy BARNES who was born and raised in Camden, Benton Co., TN, and they still live there. Unfortunately, not much help for you. There appears to be at least two families of BARNES in the county. Leroy's line goes back to William born about 1803 (?) and came from SC to TN. None of William's children were names Isaiah. There is a possibility that a brother of William's came with him to TN and that 'might be' the ancestor of the other BARNES family. My sister is going to send me (snail mail) some copies of data. If any of it is different than above, I will let you know. Duke Clark [email protected] P. J. Allen wrote: > > ... Isaiah BARNES,SR. > b.1820-25,married Oct.16,1851 Nancy McMURTY in Benton County,TN.
