Hello, I'm working on my earliest known Barnes ancestor, William J. Barnes, who was born in Brunswick County on April 29, 1789. We have military records indicating that he served in the War of 1812 for three months in late 1814 as a substitute for Richard Edmunds (also from Brunswick County). There is some circumstantial evidence that William's father was either James Barnes who married Sally Browder (daughter of Joseph and Suky Browder), or Stephen Barnes who married Sarah Johnson (daughter of William and Rachel Johnson). I tend toward James and Sally because of some personal property tax records that, in 1815, show William next to James in the tax list. William shows up again in 1824 in Alabama and remains there for the rest of his life. Now, his father James (if indeed he is his father) had other children: Benjamin, Andrew James and probably: Naomi, Rebecca and Susan. Information on Stephen's children is hard to come by. Is anyone else working on any of these Barnes lines from Brunswick County? I would love to share information. Ed Barnes edwardbarnes@sprynet.com

I apologize for the cross-posting, but we want to get this announcement to everyone we can. Linda Efforts are now under way to launch DNA Y-chromosone tests within the Traylor family. We especially need volunteers who can trace their lineage back to 18th century sons of William and Edward Traylor in Henrico and Chesterfield Counties, VA. Only Traylor males who are direct line descendants can be tested for the Y-chromosone. We are also trying to contact English Traylors to see if we can set up links between them and our American Traylor family. The name is variously spelled Trayler, Trailer, or Trailor. If you have Traylor roots and are interested in this project, please contact the coordinator at nellab@cox-internet.com. For more information on DNA Y-chromosone testing for genealogical purposes, visit these websites: www.FamilyTreeDNA.com or, for one family's experience http://www.mumma.org/DNA.htm Linda Sparks Starr http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lksstarr

Jalil, I am white and my great grandmother was a Watts. Since there are variations in the name spellings, it wouldn't hurt to look under these other names also. There are many African Americans named Watts. I wonder why his name was Watkins when he was in the inventory of John Coppedge. He may have been rented out to Coppedge. I have a book that helps African Americans research their histories.
