From Ireland to Pennsylvania then migrating to Western North Carolina, the Barnhills became known as the Barnwells around the onset of the Civil War.
William Barnhill is listed as a 1796 Flax Grower in Fermanagh County, Parish Clones. He left Ireland around July 1803 aboard the Regulator headed for Philadephia Pennslyvania. After a short stay in Bucks County Pennsylvania he migrated to Western North Carolina purchasing land on Hoopers Creek from John Lanning in 1814.
