• Notes

  !NOTES:Benjamin J. Barnes was born ca 1826/27 in Marion Dist, SC. I don't know who his parents were, but I strongly suspect he is a son of Joel Barnes, but have no solid proof of that. Joel had a son this age (born ca 1825/30) with him in the 1840 census. Benjamin Barnes married Jane --- ca 1847 in Marion Dist, SC. I don't know what her maiden name might be. !CENSUS:1830; !CENSUS:1840 ? Marion Dist, SC pg 177 w/Joel BARNES age 10-14 (1825/30); !CENSUS:1850 Marion Dist, SC Page 28, # 423/426 Benjamin Barnes, 23 farmer $150 Marion Jane 35 Sarah 2 Mary 4/12 Lewis 14; Benjamin Barnes was listed in the accounts for the Estate of James Deracken dated 20 Feb 1858. Joel Barnes was listed next after Benjamin. This means they owed money to the estate. No relationship is implied to the deceased. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 1005 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985). Benjamin Barnes and family were still in Marion Dist, SC for the 1860 census. By this time his brother Lewis was no longer with him, but still living in Marion Dist, SC. For some reason, Jane, wife of Benjamin, was listed as "James" in this census. !CENSUS:1860 Marion Dist, SC Marion Twp # 935 B. Barnes, 38 farmer $600/400 SC James (sic) 46 female S.
