| Notes |
- I (Marty Grant) don't know how (or if) I'm related to the James Barnes family. I am very interested in him though, though at present, he is my prime suspect to be the father of my ancestor Mary Barnes (wife of James Campbell).
James Barnes was born ca 1765/75, whereabouts unknown, possibly in SC.
James Barnes (c1765/75) seems to be related to Charles Barnes in some way. Perhaps he is a son of Charles.
James Barnes was not listed on the 1790 census in Georgetown District, though an older James Barnes was.
Marion District was created in 1798 from Georgetown District.
James Barnes was apparently married before 1800, but he did not appear on the 1800 census, at least not in Marion Dist, SC. There were several James' listed in other nearby counties, but I don't know which, if any of them, are the James under study here. (Three were in Robeson Co, NC, and two in Sumter Dist, SC).
James Barnes was not listed on the 1809 voter list from Marion Dist, SC.
James Barnes was listed on the 1810 census in Marion Dist, SC. He wasn't listed very near any other Barnes families, but Elias and Crissy Barnes (children of the older James Barnes) were both on the following page. Several of James Barnes' neighbors were names I'm familiar with and it seems he was in the same neighborhood with the other Barnes.

James Barnes was not listed on the 1811 tax list in Marion Dist, SC.
On 14 Nov 1811 Charles Barnes and James Barnes witnessed a deed between John Cook and Joseph Hays land on the north east side of Little Pee Dee River above the mouth of "Barns Mill Swamp". (Marion Co, SC Deed Book F page 55 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).
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. I don't know which of these is the James under study here. 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.

Analysis:
1 Male(s) 45 & up (before 1775) James BARNES (1765/75)

James Barnes was not 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.
Children
James Barnes and his wife apparently had at least five children per the 1810 census. The 1820 census shows four additional children (if it is the same James Barnes family).
1 Unknown Daughter (c1784/94)
2 Unknown Daughter (c1794/1800)
3 Unknown Daughter (c1800/10)
4 Unknown Son (c1800/10)
5 Unknown Son (c1800/10)
6 Unknown Son (c1810/20)
7 Unknown Son (c1810/20)
8 Unknown Son (c1810/20)
9 Unknown Daughter (c1810/20)
1 Unknown Daughter born ca 1784/94. A female this age was with James Barnes in 1810, but gone by 1820, so she probably had married or died by then. This could easily by my ancestor Mary "Molsy" Barnes born ca 1791/92 who married James Campbell in 1815. I have no proof that this is her, but so far, this is the only place she fits.
2 Unknown Daughter born ca 1794/1800. A female this age was with James Barnes in 1810, but gone by 1820, so she probably had married or died by then.
3 Unknown Daughter born ca 1800/10. A female this age was with James Barnes in 1810, but gone by 1820, so she probably had married or died by then.
4 Unknown Son born ca 1800/10. A male this age was with James Barnes in 1810, but gone by 1820, so he probably had married or died by then.
5 Unknown Son born ca 1800/10. A male this age was with James Barnes in 1810, but gone by 1820, so he probably had married or died by then.
6 Unknown Son born ca 1810/20. A male this age was with James Barnes in 1820.
7 Unknown Son born ca 1810/20. A male this age was with James Barnes in 1820.
8 Unknown Son born ca 1810/20. A male this age was with James Barnes in 1820.
9 Unknown Daughter born ca 1810/20. A female this age was with James Barnes in 1820.
