Randall, Do you have any idea who the father of Martha Barnes was? Where did John Burchett and Martha Barnes marry? Could they have been in SC at any time. Nancy Barnes b 1800 SC, believed to be daughter of Dennis Barnes of SC and TN, m Samuel Dancer 23 March 1823 in Stewart Co, TN. Margarett Barnes b 1804 SC, parents unknown, m Elijah Dancer about 1823/24 in TN, probably Stewart Co. Relationship between Nancy and Margarett Barnes is unknown. The Jesse Barnes estate, settled in Benton Co, TN, 1849-1853?, listed Margarett Barnes Dancer and Elijah as heirs. There were also some Burchetts listed I believe. I'll check my records for that.
