Notes |
- I (Marty Grant) don't know how (or if) I'm related to the James Barnes Jr family. I am very interested in him though.
James Barnes Jr was born before ca 1793, whereabouts unknown, possibly in SC.
James Barnes was not listed on the 1811 tax list in Marion Dist, SC.
For the 1814 tax list, there were two James Barnes' listed, one as "James Barnes" and charged with 49 cents, the other as "James Barnes Jr" and charged with 14 cents. The use of "Jr" just means that one was younger than the other one, and does not imply any specific relationship between them.
On 15 Dec 1817, "James Barnes Sr" and "James Barnes" (and also Thomas Barnes, and David Barnes) were purchasers at the estate sale of Niel Hughes. (Marion County Probate Records Volume I, # 372 by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, Indexed by Ferrell and Nancy Prosser, 1985).
For the 1820 census, there was only one James Barnes listed, and I don't know for sure if it was the same James under study here, or the other James (since two were listed in 1814). The main problem is that all of the children James had in 1810 were gone by 1820. This could indicate they all died, married, or moved away, or that the James in 1820 is a different person. Unfortunately, this census was alphabetical, so we can't tell where he lived, nor who his neighbors were.
!CENSUS:1820 Marion District, SC pg 55 James Barnes 300001-10010
Analysis:
1 Male(s) 45 & up (before 1775) James BARNES (1765/75)
3 Male(s) 0-9 (1810-1820) Son? (1810/20)
Son? (1810/20)
Son? (1810/20)
1 Female(s) 26-44 (1775-1794) Wife? (1775/84)
1 Female(s) 0-9 (1810-1820) Daughter? (1810/20)
Neither James Barnes was listed on the 1824 Marion tax list.
I didn't find any record for James Barnes after 1820, so he probably died around then, or else moved away.
