!NOTES:Elias Barnes was born ca 1774/84, presumably in that section of Georgetown District that later became Marion District.
Elias, or someone his age, was with James Barnes for the 1790 census, and with widow Ann Barnes in 1800.
Elias Barnes witnessed a 1796 deed from Charles Moody Sr to Ann Barnes (Elias' mother).(Marion Co, SC Deed Book B page 30)
On 14 Sep 1805, Elias Barnes witnessed a deed between Zachariah Oates and Joseph Perritt for land on the South side of Buck Swamp. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book C page 200 from Marion County Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A-E 1800-1811 abstracted from the Deed Books by Lucille Utley, Edited, Indexed and Published by Alita White Sutcluffe).
On 11 Mar 1806, Elias Barnes and his brother Thomas Barnes were both mentioned in the estate papers of James Martin. Elias Barnes was a witness to the Will dated 11 Apr 1806. Thomas Barnes was as a debtor to the estate in an inventory dated 23 Apr 1806. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 495 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
On 6 Oct 1806, Thomas Barnes and Elias Barnes lost 130 acres of land due to debt, and this land was sold by the Sheriff (Samuel S. Savage) to Samuel Smith Sr. The land was described as being between Catfish Swamp and Smith Swamp, and was part of a 1789 grant to Henry Flowers. The deed did not describe how it came into Thomas and Elias' hands. However, their debt to John Chisolm cost them the land. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book C page 381 from Marion County Abstracts of Deeds Volume One Books A-E 1800-1811 abstracted from the Deed Books by Lucille Utley, Edited, Indexed and Published by Alita White Sutcluffe).
Elias Barnes was listed twice on the 1810 census in Marion District, SC, with an apparent wife (or perhaps this was a sister) with him. There were no children listed either time. The only difference in the two listings were for the age of his wife. On the page 84 listing, he was next to John Campbell and just a few houses from John's mother Nancy Campbell, which is where the Barnes were in 1800 as well. On the page 88 listing, Elias was just a few houses from his sister Crissy Barnes.

1 Female(s) 26-44 (1765-1784) Wife? (1765/84)
Elias was not named on either the 1811 nor the 1814 tax list for Marion District, possibly because he owned no land at that time.
Elias was named as one of the heirs in the 1817 division of Nancy Barnes estate. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 83 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
I didn't find Elias Barnes on the 1820 census in Marion, but he was still in Marion, so he must have been residing with someone else.
On 9 Feb 1820, Elias Barnes witnessed a deed between Lewis Brown to his children Charlotte, Ann and Richard Brown. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book I page 176 from Marion County Abstracts of Deeds Volume Two Books F-I & K 1811-1823 abstracted from the Deed Books by Lucille Utley, Edited, Indexed and Published by Alita White Sutcluffe).
On 9 Jul 1822, Elias witnessed two deeds between Phillip Shelly and Solomon Owens. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book K page 30 and 32 from Marion County Abstracts of Deeds Volume Two Books F-I & K 1811-1823 abstracted from the Deed Books by Lucille Utley, Edited, Indexed and Published by Alita White Sutcluffe).
Elias Barnes was not listed on the 1824 tax list of Marion Dist, SC.
On 5 Apr 1826, Elias Barnes was named as administrator for Christian (Crissy) Barnes, his sister. (Marion Co, SC Inventory Book 1827-1836 page 62, as published in Pee Dee Queue).
I didn't find Elias Barnes on the 1830 census either, but he was still living, so probably living with someone else.
On 21 Nov 1831, Elias Barnes was listed as a purchaser at the estate sale of William Cook. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 137 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
Elias Barnes made a Will on 5 June 1835. He named his "nephew Joel Barnes" executor, and the only legatees named were the "children of my nephew Joel Barnes, share and share alike". (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 465 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
The above Will was proven by Daniel Boatright, one of the witnesses, on 14 Jul 1835.
If the woman with Elias on the 1810 census was his wife, then apparently she died before he died, and they had no children, or none to live.
