Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/1911 Surname: Barnett, Barnette ------------------------- I have no clue about this either. William and Mary McGuire Barnett's children all went by Barnett except for Robert Barnette. For some reason I have him and his descendants all putting the extra e on the end. An interesting mystery.
