Has been sometime since I last posted a query regarding the John Barnes family of Greensville Co. VA. Hopefully, there may be new researchers who also have this line. John Barnes was in the 1783 Census for Greensville and the property taxes through 1788. John Barnes' sons listed below came out on the taxes in Greensville with the following men: Rev. Ira Ellis and William Barnes; John Hobbs and John Barnes; and Bennett Barnes is listed alone after being reported as age 16-21 the prior year with Susanna Barnes. John Barnes Sr. last reported taxes with William Watkins. John Barnes and Susanna (Blanks? or Rivers?) were the parents of the following children: 1. Sally who married underage to Griffan Waldrop in 1793. Susanna Barnes wrote the Clerk of Greensville Co. giving permission for her daughter Sally to marry. William Rivers signed under the signature of Susanna Barnes and was also the surety for this marriage. (Source: Greensville Marriage Records and Deeds) 2. William who purchased land from Nathaniel Mabry's estate in 1801. William Barnes died in 1804 Greensville leaving his estate to "My mother Susanna Barnes". (Source: Wills of Greensville Co.) 3. John Barnes who married Elizabeth Bass 1803 Greensville. Surety: Jacob Payne. Elizabeth Bass the daughter of Arthur Bass and Agnes Morris. (Source: Marriage Records and Deeds of Greensville) 4. Bennett (Benjamin) Barnes who married Susanna Simmons Whitehorn, widow of Philemon Whitehorn of Sussex Co. Bennett and Susanna were married 1815 Sussex Co.

Surety: Benjamin Hogwood (Source: Marriage Records and Wills Greensville). 7. Rebecca Barnes married Hartwell Adams 1821 Greensville. Surety: Littleton Chambliss. (Source: Marriage Records, Wills and Deeds Greensville.) Susanna Barnes died Greensville County VA in Oct. 1821. James Blanks was the administrator of her estate. Susanna Barnes' son Richard died in 1825 Greensville. When James Blanks' died his first administrator was another Richard Barnes. Does anyone know if this is the Richard Barnes who married Elizabeth Adams of Sussex Co.? Thanks, Carolyn Mason Anderson Lincoln, NE
