Notes for James Barnett, Sr:
James Barnett, Senior ~ Added by Sandy_Carmichael on 9 Dec 2007

Around 1843, the Senior James Barnett shocked his entire family and his neighbors. He removed his wife, Mary Rebecca, from his home, and Rachel Moonlight Jones, the adopted daughter of Ambrose Jones and his wife moved in with him. Ambrose allowed Mary Rebeca to move into his home. Perhaps he was being a kindly neighbor, or he may have felt guilty about the circumstances.

James Senior’s son, Andrew Jackson, had married Ambrose Jones’ daughter, Mary Elizabeth in about 1834. This may be how James Senior was introduced to Rachel Moonlight. (For more information on Rachel, check her story line.)

Margaret, James’ 4th youngest child was born the same year as Rachel, and Susannah, Catherine, and Rachael were younger. It is not known if the young children remained in the home or if they moved into the Jones’ home with their mother. There is, also, no indication of a marriage between Rachel Moonlight and James Senior.

It is difficult to imagine what James Senior’s children felt about his untoward treatment of their mother, but they no doubt did not approve of his actions.

James and Rachel Moonlight had four children, and then sometime after the birth of the fourth child, Rachel Moonlight moved out of the home and James Senior moved into the home of one of his sons.
