Dear Wanda, While not a Barnes researcher per se, several of my direct lines and Barnes lines intermarried. This is the information that I have compiled from several different Barnes cousins. Generation 1 John Barn b. 1661 in Surrey, England + Katherene O'Stoner. They had two children known to me to be William Barn and Thomas Barn b. 1695 in Surrey, England. I have no further information on Thomas. Generation 2 Thomas Barn, above William Barn b. ca 1695 in Surrey, England + Dorothy Hansard. I list 4 children for them: Leonard b. 1709; Thomas b. 1711; Richard b. 1719 and John Barnes, Sr., who changed his name to Barnes b. 1712 in Essex, England. Generation 3 John Barnes, Sr. b. 1712 in Essex, England who married 1737 in Plymouth, Massachusetts to Mary Plummer. They had 5 children known to me. Lydia b. 1750, John Barnes, Jr. b. 1751, Thomas Barnes b. 1756 in Lincoln, NC [more later], Hanner Barnes b. 1757, and Mary b. 1760. Generation 4 Thomas Barnes b. 1756 in Lincoln, NC who married Margaret St. Jermyn. They had one child known to me who is William B. Barnes. ================ Generation 5 William B. Barnes b. 1780 in Edgecomb, NC, d. 1819 in Warren Co., TN. These are my notes for William: William B. Barnes born 1790 and died 1819 at Irving College in Warren County from burns in a powder mill explosion. He was one of the first to be buried at Shellsford Baptist Church (unmarked grave). He was married to Charity Philips. Children: Thomas, Mary, Sara, Charles, William, Jesse, Millery, and Eliza. More on William: From the William and Mary Quarterly (possible parents for William): June 28, 1785. --- Wm. Barnes & Mary, his wife, of Parish of Blissland, New Kent, to Wm. Place, of St. Paul's, Hanover, on Black Creek, Littleberry Wade's, & Turner Slaughter. Settler: 3 Aug 1812, Collins River Valley, Warren, TN Probably buried at the Shellsford Baptist Church. * The cemetery is located in Warren Co., TN SE of McMinnville in the Shellsford community on State Road 127. =============== Gen. 5 continued: William B. Barnes married Charity Phillips b. 24 Aug 1783 in Georgia and died 8 May 1871 in Warren Co., TN. She is probably buried in an unmarked grave in Shellsford Cemetery with her husband. These are my notes for Charity Phillips: BARNES, PHILLIPS posted by Sandi McDonnell on Sunday, May 30, 1999 Charity PHILLIPS was born 24 August 1783 in Georgia. She married William B. BARNES in Warren Co., KY 7 Jul 1800. By 1806, they were in Warren Co., TN along with William and Sarah PHILLIPS, Charity's aunt and uncle. (William and Sara's daughters were Elizabeth, Charity and Millery) This Phillips family is related to Joel and Elizabeth Phillips of Wilkes Co., GA, and traces its roots back to the Phillips family of Richmond Co., VA. I am searching for Charity (b. 1787 d. 1871) Phillips's parents. ================ Charity Phillips and William B. Barnes had 8 children known to me: Generation 6 1. Thomas Barnes (1800-1881) + Hannah Martin (1803-1889), d/o James Martin b. 1774 in North Carolina and d. in Kentucky and Ellender Yokum b. 1778 in Kentucky. I have more information on this Martin and Yokum line should you be interested. 2. Mary "Polly" Barnes (1805-1866) + Samuel Worthington. You probably have much more info here that will undoubtedly be more accurate than mine. 3. Sarah "Sack" Barnes (ca 1807 TN/1860 Arkansas) + John Barnes with 8 children. 4. Charles Barnes (1809-1864) + Susannah Smith (1812-1896) d/o Isaac Smith and Brittania Savage. This couple is the parents of the Lt. Isaac Barnes who married Susannah Elinor Hill d/o Irving/Ervin Hill and Eleanor Morgan that you mentioned in you e-mail. I list 13 children for Lt. Isaac Barnes and Susannah Elinor Hill. 5. William P. Barnes (1812-1882) + Margaret Hill, possibly related to Susannah above. 6. Jesse Barnes (1813-1887) + 1) Selinda Fields, 2) STB White, 3) Bessie Campbell, and 4) STB Burger. 7. Mildred "Millery" Barnes (1816-1863) + Henderson Safley 8. Elizabeth "Eliza" Barnes (1819-1889) + Thomas S. Myers. Again, this information has been shared with me by several Barnes cousins and is not my original research. It might, however, be a good starting point for further research.
