Debbie,
I just read your reply to Bill Allred concerning the Barnetts in Blount and
Cullman counties. Thank you very much for posting such detailed information.
In your info you mentioned, I believe, every Barnett listed in the census
for these two counties except this one:
1880 Census Blount Co., AL
69 69 Issac Barnett  60
           Dorcas E.       55 wife
           James             23 son
           Charles C.      16 son
Did you omit this Isaac because you don't believe him to be connected with
your family?
This Isaac is my g-g-grandfather. His son James is my g-grandfather.
Isaac and Dorcas are buried in South Cemetery in Blountsville.
The earliest info I have on Isaac is 1850 census Cherokee Co., NC:
292  Isaac Barnard 27 born SC
         Darcus E.   25   born SC
         Nancy E.  1  born SC
Next: 1860 census Cherokee Co., NC:
1213  Isaac Barnett  41  born Macon Co., GA
         Darcus E.  35  Buncombe Co., NC
         Elizabeth  12  Cherokee Co., NC (probably Nancy E.)
         Thomas  10      "
         Darby A.  8       "
         John    7            "
         James 3            "
         Robert  2           "
         Jane  2/12         "
Next: 1870 Murray Co., GA
111  Isaac Barnett  50   born SC
         Emaline  44      SC
         Nancy E. 21        "
         Thomas J. 19     "
         Darkus Ann  17  "
         John W.      15    "
         James P.    14    "
         Charles C.    6    "
Note that Robert and Jane are missing.  On the death certificate for James
Barnett (1940) it has mother Dorcas Emaline's maiden name as Carroll. There
are many Carrolls in the 1880's in Murray Co., GA and particularly in
neighboring Gilmer Co. I have been unable to find the parents for Isaac and
Dorcas Emaline.
I talked with you through email about a year ago and you said you thought
our lines connected. Bill Allred also believes my Isaac could be connected.
Do you have any new thoughts on this matter. Thanks for reading through
this. I will also post this message to the Barnett mail list and apologize
that you will receive it twice.
Your cousin (I hope),
Leonard Masino
