Richard Barnes was born ca 1755/65, whereabouts unknown, possibly in SC.


I suspect that Richard is a son or a brother of Charles Barnes, but I have no real proof of that, other than them being near each other.

Richard apparently married Martha --- before ca 1790. I have no proof that Martha was his wife, but a widow Martha Barnes appeared in Marion for the 1820 census, and her household matched Richard's fairly well, and he did not appear in 1820. So, for now, I'm assuming she was his widow.

Though they seemed to be married before 1790, I didn't find Richard Barnes on the 1790 census. He wasn't listed in Georgetown District, SC, nor was there a Richard Barnes listed anywhere else in eastern SC or eastern NC.

Marion District was created in 1798 from Georgetown District.

Richard Barnes was listed on the 1800 census in Marion District, SC. He was listed next door to Charles Barnes, his possible father, or perhaps a older brother.

Richard Barnes was not listed on either the 1811 or 1814 Marion tax lists (which means he owned no land or other taxable property).

Richard was not listed on the 1820 census in Marion District, SC, so that means he either died before then, or moved away. I think he died, as there appeared a widow Martha Barnes on the 1820 census. Her household contained children that matched those Richard had in 1800 and 1810, and it appears to me that she was probably his widow. I have no real proof though, so this is entirely circumstantial.

Unfortunately, this census was alphabetical, so we can't tell where she lived, nor who her neighbors were. Martha was head of household, and aged 45 and up, but there were two men this same age with the family. I don't know who this might have been.

Martha Barnes was not listed on the 1824 Marion tax list.

I didn't find any record for Martha Barnes after 1820, so she probably died around then, or else moved away, or spent her remaining years with children.

!NOTE:I don't know if Martha is Richard's widow or not. She seems to be. See his notes;

Children

Richard Barnes and his apparent wife Martha apparently had at least four (or perhaps five) children based on the 1800, 1810 and 1820 census records, but unfortunately, none have been identified.

1 Unknown Son (c1784/90)
2 Unknown Daughter (c1794/1800)
3 Unknown Daughter (c1794/1800)
4 Unknown Son (c1794/1800)
5 Unknown Son (c1810/20)

1 Unknown Son born ca 1784/1790. A male this age was with Richard Barnes in 1800 and 1810, but not with Martha Barnes in 1820, so he probably had married (or died) by then. A John Barnes (c1775/94) appeared on the 1820 Marion census. He could be this son. Another possibility is David W. Barnes (c1780/90) who appeared on the 1824 tax list and the 1830 census in Marion.

2 Unknown Daughter born ca 1794/1800. A female this age was with Richard Barnes in 1800 and 1810 and with Martha in 1820. If she married, it was after 1820.

3 Unknown Daughter born ca 1794/1800. A female this age was with Richard Barnes in 1800 and 1810 and with Martha in 1820. If she married, it was after 1820.

4 Unknown Son born ca 1794/1800. There was no male this age with Richard Barnes in 1800, but there was one with him in 1810 and with Martha in 1820. This could indicate someone born ca 1800, but just after the 1800 census taker came around. I have no clues who this might be. No likely suspects appeared on the 1830 census in Marion.

5 Unknown Son born ca 1810/1820. This might be a grandson instead, or perhaps someone else. Martha Barnes had a male this age with her in 1820. I don't know for sure if he is a son or not.
