!NOTES:Thomas Barnes was born ca 1774/80, presumably in that section of Georgetown District that later became Marion District.
Thomas, or someone his age, was with James Barnes for the 1790 census, and with widow Ann Barnes in 1800.
On 19 Aug 1801 Thomas Barnes witnessed a deed from his mother Ann Barnes to Arthur Herring. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book B page 28 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 14 Aug 1805 Thomas Barnes witnessed a deed between Jean Harrelson Oates, administrator of the estate of Lewis Harrelson, to Matthew Martain (sic?). (Marion Co, SC Deed Book C page 128 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 16 Dec 1805 Thomas Barnes witnessed a deed whereby James Martin emancipated a negro named Rose. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book C page 190 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, Thomas Barnes and his brother Elias 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).
"Thomas Barns" was listed on the 1809 voter list in Marion Dist, SC.
Thomas Barnes was listed on the 1810 census in Marion Dist, SC, unlike his siblings Elias and Crissy, he was only listed once (they were both listed twice). He was listed alone.
!CENSUS:1810 Marion District, SC pg 85 Thomas Barnes 00010-00000
Analysis:
1 Male(s) 26-44 (1765-1784) Thomas BARNES (1774/80) s/o James and Nancy
Thomas was not listed on the 1811 tax list, but he was on the 1814 tax list and charged with 17 cents tax.
In 1812, Thomas Barnes was named in the accounts of the estate of Robert Moody. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 530 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
In the 1816-1817 estate records for his mother Nancy Ann Barnes, Thomas was named as an heir. His 1/3 of the estate was given to "John Coleman for Tom Barnes". I'm not sure if John Coleman was acting on Thomas' behalf, or why it was worded like that. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 83 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
On 15 Dec 1817, Thomas Barnes was listed as purchaser at the estate sale of Niel Hughes. Also listed (among many others) were James Barnes, James Barnes Sr, and David Barnes (all spelled "Barns"). (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 372 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
I didn't find Thomas Barnes on the 1820 census. Since he was single, he may have been residing with someone else.
On 18 Nov 1820, Thomas Barnes (and sister Crissy) were both listed as purchasers at the estate sale of William White. (Marion Co, SC Inventory Book 1827-1836 pg 257 as published in the Pee Dee Queue).
On 3 Dec 1821, Thomas Barnes is listed as a purchaser at the estate sale of John Henry. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 379 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
Thomas Barnes was listed on the 1830 census, still single, apparently. Unfortunately, this census was alphabetical, so we cant' tell where he was living, nor who his neighbors were.
!CENSUS:1830 Marion District, SC pg 6 Thomas Barnes 0000000100000-0000000000000
Analysis:
1 Male(s) 50-59 (1770-1780) Thomas BARNES (1774/80) s/o James & Nancy
I didn't find any record of Thomas after 1830. He either died then, or moved away. Apparently, he never married.
