Hi: I have at least two Barnes women who married into my Birchett line. Looking at the Census records for McNairy County, TN I know that Barnes and Burchetts lived near each other, sometimes next door. Dennis Barnes, who lived in McNairy Co. is also my ancestor, but he was supposed to have been born in TN. The oldest Burchett I know of, John, was born in North Carolina. Do you have any more info on your Barnes family? Hopefully, we can find a connection, but I don't really have much on this family. Thanks, Randall Baker "Johnita P.
