| 7 | (Medical):Abner Farrar (son of Thomas Farrar and Elizabeth Howard) was born September 16, 1768 in Mecklenburg Co. Virginia, and died March 27, 1841 in Marietta, Cobb Co. Georgia. He married Catherine Carter on December 19, 1791 in Halifax Co. Virginia, daughter of George Carter and Lucy Marshall. Notes for Abner Farrar: Abner Farrar was born September 16, 1768 in Mecklenburg Co. Virginia, the son of Thomas Farrar and Elizabeth Howard. Abner was seven years old when his father Thomas Farrar's first cousin, Thomas Jefferson, wrote the Declaration of Independence and was one of it signers just prior to July 4, 1776. Abner's father served in the Revolutionary War as a Patriot. The 1782 Census of Heads Of Families in Virginia lists Abner's father,Thomas Farrar, in Mecklenburg County. The household consisting of eleven white persons, including Abner 14 years old at the time, and ten black persons (slaves). Abner's grandmother, Judith Jefferson Farrar age 84, is listed as Head of her household nearby consisting of one white person and four black persons (slaves). Abner's uncle William Farrar lives beside Judith Farrar. John Farrar (uncle?) also resides nearby. Abner was 14 years old in 1782 when his mother Elizabeth Howard Farrar died. The 1783 Census of Heads Of Families of Virginia lists Abner's father, Thomas Farrar, in Amherst County. His household consisting of ten white persons and one black slave. His mother Elizabeth Howard had died the year before; a William Howard is a close neighbor. The 1785 Census of Heads of Families of Virginia lists Abner's father, Thomas Farrar, in Amherst County. His household consisting of eight "white souls". The property having one dwelling and two other buildings upon it. Neighbor William Howard's property listed as an Estate of the now deceased owner. Abner's grandmother, Judith Jefferson Farrar, died in 1786, when Abner was 18. The 1787 Personal Property Tax List of Mecklenburg Co. Virginia named the Head of Household, males 16 years and older, names of slaves, and the number of horses and cattle owned. Abner's father, Thomas Farrar (age 60 at the time), is listed with two white males age 16-21, and their names are also listed. They are sons Abner (19 years) and Thomas (17 years); one slave over 16 years, and seven slaves under 16 years; names listed: Pat, Jim, Nelson, Edmund, Charles, Ephraim, Billy and Nan. Two horses and seven cattle also owned. Abner Farrar 23, married Catherine Carter Arrington 25, on December 19, 1791 in Halifax Co. Virginia. Catherine was the young widow of Richard Stone Arrington, and had a three year old son named Richard from her first marriage. Catherine Carter was the daughter of George Carter and Lucy Marshall. Her father died when she was very young and her mother Lucy was remarried to George Malone, who became a beloved step-father to Catherine and her siblings. Catherine was also known as "Katy Malone" before her first marriage. About 1796 Abner and Catherine and their first two children, Elizabeth 3, and baby Jesse Carter Farrar, moved from Halifax Co. Virginia to Greenville Co. South Carolina. Daughter Thurza Farrar was born in 1798. January 26, 1799 Abner Farrar, of Greenville Co. South Carolina, bought 130 acres of land in Franklin Co. Georgia on Indian Creek from William Quillin of Franklin County, Georgia for $500. Abner sold this land in 1807. 1800- Thomas Jefferson elected President of the United States. Jefferson was a first cousin of Abner's father and Abner's first cousin once removed. Abner Farrar began buying hundreds of acres of land in the Greenville, South Carolina area in 1800. The Farrar family had moved to Carnesville, Franklin Co. Georgia about 1801 from nearby Greenville, South Carolina, where Abner and Catherine's four youngest children were born; Francis Howard Farrar (1801), Lucy Farrar (abt 1804), Diannah Hillsman Farrar (1806), and William Malone Farrar (1809). Abner's plantation was located about two miles northwest of Carnesville, Franklin Co., Georgia, on Hunter's Creek, on land purchased in 1807 and 1808. Abner Farrar is listed on the Franklin Co. Georgia Tax List in 1801, 1803, 1805. His name was shown as Abner Farrar, Esq. and Justice of the Peace when he endorsed Governor's passports for settlers to travel through the Creek Indian Nation in 1804. In 1806 Abner Farrar acted as attorney in Franklin County, Georgia for William Haley's deed. In 1809, Abner's father, Thomas Farrar, died at Abner's home in Carnesville, Franklin Co. Georgia. His obituary appeared in the local newspaper and stated he was a first cousin of former President Thomas Jefferson. 1809 was the year President Jefferson retired from public life after two terms as president and numerous other accomplishments. Abner was a prominent planter in Franklin Co. Georgia and raised his children on the large family plantation two miles from Carnesville. Abner and Catherine were very good to their children. They gave them a good education for the time, and saw that they were well dressed. The daughters were dressed as proper Southern Belles and wore beautiful evening gowns for social occasions. The children were taught to be proud of their Farrar and Carter heritege and were told stories about their ancestors including William Farrar, the first owner of Farrar's Island. Abner's father and his generation were among the last Farrar's to be born at Farrar's Island. Abner and Catherine's five youngest children were born during Thomas Jefferson's (their first cousin two times removed) service as third President of the United States. Some (or all?) of the children had red hair, a trait inherited from their Jefferson lineage. In a lease dated March 22, 1818, from Abner Farrar to John Robbins, Robert Malone (Step-brother of Abner's wife Catherine) is shown as a witness. On April 3, 1820 Abner Farrar (age 51) witnessed a deed in Franklin Co. Georgia in which Robert Malone (age 39; Abner's brother-in-law), representing Richard S. Arrington (age 31; Abner's step-son), sold 180 acres of land for $700 in Franklin County on Middle Fork Broad River, to Robert and Coleman Wood. The deed was recorded May 15, 1820. When youngest daughter Diannah was fifteen years old she eloped with 21 year old Tillman Dixon Pruitt in February 1822. Abner and Catherine never forgave her and there was so much feeling on their part that Diannah never went back home, not even for a visit. Abner and Catherine Farrar may have thought Diannah was too young for the marriage. Tillman's father had died when he was four and an uncle was appointed guardian to oversee the father's estate. Abner Farrar paid the poll tax in 1822 in Franklin Co. Georgia. Former President Thomas Jefferson died July 4, 1826. Son Jesse Carter Farrar named a son after Abner - Abner Mason Farrar born 1829. Abner is listed as Abner "Farrow" in the 1830 DeKalb Co. Georgia census. The 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery shows Abner Farrar in DeKalb County drawing land in Military District, Latimers; land lot #171; district 21; section 3. Abner's brother Abel Farrar made bequests to Abner's son, Francis Howard Farrar and Francis' son Abel Farrar, plus to siblings and nieces and nephews, in his will of December 1833 in Monroe Co. Alabama. 1840 Census-- Abner is not listed under his own name. He is thought to be living with his son Jesse Carter Farrar in Marietta, Cobb Co. Georgia the year before his death. Jesse Carter Farrar's household in the 1840 Census of Cobb Co. Georgia includes one male (Abner?) age 70-80 years old.

| 10 | (Research):*DEDICATION OF HEAD STONES AT BARNETT CEMETERY On the afternoon of August 2nd, 1997, a number of the descendants of Micajah and Joroyal gathered together at the Barnett Cemetery in Camp Croft to dedicate these stones; this followed the annual Reunion of those descendants at Quincy's, on Reidville Road, near Spartanburg. At the dedication service, a memorial to these two ancestors was delivered by Dr.. Joel H. Fisher, husband of Lorene B. Fisher. The following is a copy of his remarks (with minimum editing): "We are gathered here today, August 2nd, 1997, to honor the memory of two of our ancestors: Rev. Joroyal Barnett, born October 10, 1758, in Virginia, died June 6, 1812, in South Carolina, and Rev. Micajah C. Barnett, Sr., born May 13, 1760, also in Virginia, and died on January 9, 1837, in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. "These two brothers were sons of a Spartanburg County pioneer family - that of Joseph Barnett (born 1731, died 1802) & Lucy Wade Barnett, from Goochland County, Virginia. We are standing in Joseph & Lucy Barnett family cemetery for this ceremony. "I'd like to say a few words remembering and honoring Rev. Joroyal Barnett. He married Agnes Glenn, who was born about 1757-60, in Virginia, and died in 1852, in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, well into her 90s. They had 11 children. "Joroyal was a charter member of Cedar Springs Baptist Church. He held these offices there: Association Messenger, Church Clerk, Ordained Elder, Deacon, & Ordained Minister. He was their 'beloved minister' when he died 1812 of a colic disorder. "Historian John R. Logan said of him, quote, 'Elder Joroyal Barnett was a member of the Cedar Springs (Baptist) church and was one of the pioneer ministers of the Broad River Association. In 1811, he was chosen Moderator of the body which is evidence of his high and respectable standing in the Association at that day and time.' End of quote. "On 22 March, 1812, Elias Stone, Ordinary of Spartanburg District, South Carolina, certified that he had publicly read the citation to Administer on the Estate of the Rev'd Joroyal Barnett, deceased. He read that 'at a meeting of the Methodist. denomination in about a mile of the house of the deceased on the 22nd of March, 1812.' (Estate file #432). We assume this was at Antioch Methodist church. I suppose Elias Stone was a Methodist and that's why the citation wasn't read at Cedar Springs, and the Methodist Church was only about 1 mile from JorRoyal's residence. Perhaps old Cedar Springs Baptist was about two miles from his house. We can only speculate. "We do not know positively if Joroyal is buried here, but we are pretty safe in assuming that he is. His father died 10 years prior to Joroyal and he is buried here and his stone survives. "Joroyal's military service came before his ministry. I chose to mention it last. "I ordered a copy of Joroyal's Revolutionary War service record - three pages arrived with very little data. He served in Roebuck's Regiment in the militia 'since the fall of Charleston' and was paid on June 30, 1786. We regret we do not know any particulars of his service. Bobby G. Moss records him in his Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution. His account # is AA297. Joroyal died 185 years ago. He lived only 53 & 3/4 years. His descendants number in the thousands. He has left us a legacy well worth emulation. Rev. Micajah Cicero Barnett, Sr., was born on May 13, 1760, in Goochland County, Virginia. He died on January 9, 1837, in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. He was married twice - first to a lady whose first name was Jean or Jene Glenn (she was a sister of Agnes Glenn Barnett. Agnes and Jean/jene were daughters of Tyree and Sarah Shelton Glenn. Jean/Jenn were baptized on 25 June 1764, per Douglas Register. She died 17 December 1812 and is buried in the Barnett Cemetery), and second to Frances White, born on October 4, 1776, in South Carolina, died on April 23, 1852, aged 75 years, in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. "Micajah administered the estate of his mother Lucy on 15 May, 1812. Interesting and sad. We also note that Micajah's first wife Jene and three of Micajah and Jene's daughters died between November 1812 and January, 1813. Maybe they died from an epidemic. Joroyal died in June of 1812, so this was a terrible time in the lives of our ancestors' families. "Micajah remarried to Frances White James, widow of Charles James, who had two small children. She was a daughter of Henry and Frances White of Spartanburg District, South Carolina. Jene had 10 children and Frances had two children by Micajah. Frances brought two with her from her first marriage. This made fourteen children. Some of the oldest ones were married by the time of his second marriage. "Micajah was a minister also. I was hoping Billy Barnett could put together the memorial for Micajah, but he did not think he would be here or be able to do it. I do not know where he preached. Micajah, in his will, referred to himself as a planter. We know he owned a large amount of land in Spartanburg County. In 1796 he bought 200 acres on the south side of Pacolet River for 20 lbs. sterling. In 1808 he bought 130 acres on Thomson's Branch of Kelsey's Creek. There are other transactions. "He was a successful farmer. He owned several slaves and requested that they not be sold but be distributed among his children. He was a considerate master. He probably inherited a slave from his father as he had five at his death in 1802. "One of the biggest thrills to us Barnetts came when the family Bible of Joseph and Lucy Barnett was located in Virginia. The owner is Pamela Reid, 4265 Berwick Place, Woodbridge, VA 22192. This Bible record gives Joseph and Lucy's children's names and dates. Then we find Micajah's children's names and dates by his first wife Jene. And lastly we find William (born 1768) & Sarah Foster's children & dates given. This is a goldmine! We already had a copy of Micajah's Bible so we feel very lucky to have access to this new record. "Micajah's Revolutionary War papers were lacking information also. He served in Col. Benjamin Roebuck's Regiment "since the fall of Charleston", May, 1780. Account #AA299. I assume he and Joroyal served together. Bobby Moss also lists him as a Patriot in his book. There were fourteen Barnetts listed from South Carolina. We can be proud of the military service he gave to his country. This was a sacrifice. He left the comfort and safety of his home to risk his life. You are here today to honor his Courage and your good name. You are a credit to this fine old name. The majority of you here today descend from this man." This concluded the remarks of Dr. Fisher at the Dedication Service. Those remarks were written by Dr. Fisher's wife, Lorene B. Fisher, a fifth great-granddaughter of Rev. Joroyal Barnett. This is from Nolen Brunson's book ================================================================ It should be noted that Joel and Lorene Fisher bought the tombstone for Agnes Glenn Barnett and put it in the Barnett plot. Also that through the generosity of Kermit Barnett paid for the shippong of the stones of Joroyal and Micajah Barnett. *The above information is from Nolen Brunson's book THE BARNETT - MCMAKIN UNION and updated material from Loren Fisher 9/02. | Barnett, Joseph Royal (I49)

| 14 | (Research):My mother says that her grandfather (John M) was married twice, that Colie P used to talk about how mean his stepmother was. Looking at the 1900 census, Colie was 13 and Jahn & Laura had been married 10 years, so she must be the step mother he was talking about. Still need to find Colie P's mother Note that there are two children Charley Low (14) and Horace Low (12) also listed in 1900 census as part of that household. My mother says she vaguely recognizes the names but doesn't know who they are. Addtl research needed there to find how where they came from. | Powers, John McDonald (I144)

| 15 | (Research):Saved in Ancestry.com shoebox- record in "The Boston Pilot 1831-1920" missing friend posting for James Powers published 1866, looking for "JAmes Powers, of Gerrentown, parish of Ballylahane, county of Waterford, who left Ireland in the fall of 1847, and lived in Brown County, Illinois. Left home in the spring of 1861 and went South; wrote in June the same year from Memphis, TN" His mother requested to notify his brother-in-law, Richard Cooke, Mount Sterling, Brown County, Illinois. Although this is probably not him because of the 1861 date (he was in Alabama then), it may be a clue to his family connections and where in Waterford he was from. | Powers, James (I290)

| 19 | 1870 Census shows birthplace is Indiana. However all other census records for John M Powers show father is from Ireland. Either: 1 set of census records is wrong OR James Powers is head of household in 1870 but not father of John The 1860 Census shows specifically, Waterford, Ireland to be birthplace. From 1845-1850 large numbers of people left Ireland because of the "Great Famine", also known as the "Potato Famine". Born in 1812, James would have been 33 in 1845. He married in Alabama in 1849, so I am estimating the time of his emigration to America to be around 1845-1847. The Powers (or Power) family was large in Waterford, so it is very possible that other Powers emigrated before James and sent back money to help him come, which was a common practice at the time. Incidiently, Waterford, Ireland is famous for Waterford Crystal. | Powers, James (I290)

| 26 | Added cropped clipping from Bryan Daily Eagle from 16 Nov 1916. The clipping refers to him as Prof John Barnett Jr., which hints that he may not have been a principle yet. It is also in a section title "Prospect News" which may indicate news in Prospect TX (in East Texas between Longview and Texarkana). I'm pretty sure this is referring to the correct Barnett, since it said he recently visited relatives in Steep Hollow, which is indeed where his family lived at the time. Another article announcing their wedding indicates that Bessie was from the "Prospect community". I could not find a Prospect town within 300 miles of Steep Hollow, but did note that there is currently a road called Prospect Lane about 2-3 miles north of Steep Hollow. I am assuming that the name may have come from a small community that existed near there at the time and that's where Bessie was from. Examine tax records to see if where he lived in 1916 Benjamin Gordon Bond, Bessie's father lived 1910-1920 in Justice TX according to census (Justice county?) | Barnett, John Douglas, Jr (I20)
