I (Marty Grant) don't know how (or if) I'm related to the James Barnes family. I am very interested in him though.
James Barnes was probably born before 1755. I have no real solid idea on when he was born, but "before 1755" seems to cover it fairly accurately, I think.
James Barnes married Nancy Ann --- prior to ca 1780, presumably in the part of Georgetown District that later became Marion District. I have not seen any direct proof that James was Nancy's husband, but he is the only one who fits.
James Barnes was listed on the 1786 Tax list for Prince George Parish in Captain Odom's company. He was listed with 150 acres.
He was listed on a 1788 Petition as a resident of Little Pee Dee.
James Barnes was listed on the 1790 census in Georgetown District, Prince George Parish, SC. Unfortunately, this census was alphabetical, so we can't determine where he lived exactly, nor who his neighbors were. The only other Barnes in Prince George at that time was Charles Barnes, whom I suspect was James' brother.

James Barnes died sometime prior to 1796.
On 1 Dec 1796 Charles Moody Sr sold Ann Barnes 125 acres on Pyhorn Branch for 10 pounds. Witnesses were Sherwood Johnston and Elias Barnes. Elias is a son of Nancy and James. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book B page 30 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).
Marion District was created in 1798 from Georgetown District.
Nancy Ann Barnes was listed on the 1800 census in Marion District, SC. She was just a few houses from Charles Moody Sr, and Sherrod Johnson, both mentioned in the 1796 deed. She was also just a few houses from my ancestor John Campbell, this puts her in or near the Maiden Down Swamp area.

On 19 Aug 1801 Ann Barnes sold the 125 acres purchased from Charles Moody Sr, to Arthur Herring, for $150. Witnesses were her son Thomas Barnes and also Roger Roberts. Arthur Herring and Roger Roberts were listed nearby on the 1800 census. (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)
I didn't find Nancy Ann Barnes on the 1810 census. I suspect she may have been residing with a son or daughter. I didn't find anyone her age with either of her known sons Elias or Thomas Barnes.
On 17 Mar 1815 Joshua Brown sold Ann Barnes 170 acres on Sister Bay and Reedy Creek Bay, and also another 8 acres. (Marion Co, SC Deed Book F page 250 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).
Nancy Ann --- Barnes died before 3 Jun 1816 in Marion Dist, SC, for on that date, Christiana Barnes (aka Chrissy Barnes) was granted letters of administration. (Marion Co, SC Administrations Book A page 172)
Nancy Barnes had a Probate Roll as well. Christina Barnes was listed as Aministratrix of the estate. These records show her estate was distributed in three parts, to Elias Barnes, to John Coleman for Tom Barnes and to Crissy Barnes. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 83 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
I don't know why Thomas Barnes part was given to John Coleman, but he may have been out of the county and Coleman was acting on his behalf.
