Surnames: Barnes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JhB.2ACE/998.1 Message Board Post: Your L. Barnes might be Larken S. Barnes who purchased 1,100 acres of land around the year 1850 in the Peter Colony area. I am looking for ancestors of a Robert S. Barnes that settled in the Denton County, TX area and is believed to be born around 1850.
