(personal thoughts of Sandra)
I can add to some of the above.If you have any information on these Barnes I would like to know what you have.The BARNES history you have must be the William Barnes listed above.
I thought my John A. Barnes may have been a son of Bengamon Barnes but I recently received some papers pertaining to Bengamon Barnes estate. 9 children took part in his estate - the above 9.
