Dr.Raider,Have you checked ...
1) Will of Delana Amason , Edge Co.,NCand
2) Edg. Co. Db 24:519
Thereis reference to John M Barnes, Isaac Amason, children of Delana and grandchildren with surname Rogers, Gay and Amason, living very near Saratoga.I became interested due to the possible John Owens and Gay connection as John Owens purchased from Simms and Barnesthe same or part of same track of land Theophilus and wife Sally Amason held for a life time interest.This site would be east of Saratoga and west of Goff's Swamp at Wolf Pitt Branch, andGreat Branch.I have just located this plot of landafter several years of searching.If neededI will send you a copy of above.I am interested from the Theophilus Gay heir connection.When Greenville and Raleigh Plank Road was being built in the late 1850'sa reference was made "to go upon premises of the heirs of Theophilus Gay dec and assess the damage incurred in consequence of theGreenville and Raleigh Plank Road crossing their land... and condemn the same to the use of the aforesaid road.... beginning at Goff's swamp.
We have a lot of Barnes here during the 1800's.Betty
