Group Barnett 1-Y                            Haplogroup R1b1a2

Generation 1

 

Valda V. Barnett. Born about 1822 in South Carolina. Valda died in Big Shanty, Pickens County, Georgia, on 2 Apr 1862 while serving in Company C, 43rd Regiment of the Georgia Volunteers.  We are unsure of the exact spelling of his given name: it appears in records as V.V., Valda, Vivalva, Civaldy and Vielda.  According to family tradition, he may have used the nicknames of “Bevely” and “Ross”.

 

On 23 Feb 1847 in Hall County, Georgia, Valda married Mary E. Ashworth who was born about 1827 in North or South Carolina.

 

The Valda mentioned in the estate file of Agnes (Glenn) Barnett, wife of Joroyal Barnett (transcribed by Janice Barnett Craft) might be our ancestor Valda.  In testimony from 1852, John Huhey stated that he knew Agnes “ever since he was a boy” and that when Valda Barnett killed one of his cows she “paid him in corn”.

 

We believe Valda is a grandson of Joroyal and Agnes Barnett, probably through their son Jeremiah Barnett. A biographical sketch of Jeremiah’s son-in-law states: “Mrs. J. M. Cowart’s father Jeremiah Barnett was born in South Carolina and married Patience Seay. They had 6 girls and 2 boys.” We know that one of the sons referred to here is William Riley Barnett who married Milly Elrod. We assume that the other son is Valda, because in the 1860 US Census for Pickens County, Georgia, Valda and his family are living near Jeremiah and Patience Barnett.  However, we don’t have any definitive evidence to place Valda as a son of Jeremiah.

Following is the lineage of Kit Number 10943 from the oldest proven or speculated ancestor. Due to concerns for identity theft living persons are not included or are so noted by initials and obscured dates of birth and death, etc

 

Group Barnett 2 Y                            Haplogroup J2

Note: More research needs to be done on this family, however, family tradition indicates James Newton Barnett’s parents were Bradford Kimsey Barnett and Mary E. (surname unknown)

In a quick check of the 1880 census records at Family search.org  Mic Barnette was able to locate James Newton with his mother, Mary E. in 1880 in Blount County, Alabama. Township 13 Page 418A.

Mary E. was listed as being age 45, born in GA, birthplace of parents not given. Others listed in the household were born in Alabama with their mother listed as being born in Georgia. No place of birth was listed for their father.  Newton, son,  age 21 Farm laborer; Marion, son, age 19, farm laborer; Ellen, daughter, age 16; Lucinda, daughter, age 12; Mary K, daughter, age 10; Ralina An, daughter, age 7.

Family tradition states James Newton Barnett’s father, Bradford Kimsey Barnett, was killed in a field as he was working. The family has notes and a diagram showing the location of his grave, but, the notes do not tell where the area in the diagram is located. The grave of Mary is marked with an inscription that reads: “Mary E., Wife of Bradford Barnett”

More work, mainly census work,  was done on this family August 23, 2003. We were able to potentially extend this line several generations. Anyone who can help firm up this lineage with source information the help would be appreciated.

GENERATION I

1840 Census Benton County, AL lists David Barnett age 80-90. In addition there are a number of other Barnetts in the county who could potentially be sons, grandsons or otherwise related Barnetts  including: Amos, Isaac, John, Daniel, Riley, Mark, Robert and Uriah. We are stretching our necks out at this point with the feeling David may be the furthest back ancestor of this participant. Further proof is desired. If related all the males in this county should have the same Y-Chromosome marker results.

 

GENERATION II

According to family tradition Uriah was an ancestor. Uriah Barnett was born in South Carolina about 1783 or 1787 depending on the census used. His wife was Kessiah who was born somewhere in Georgia about 1785 or 1788. This family is found in the following censuses:

1850 Neshoba County, MS

1860 Neshoba County, MS

GENERATION III

1830 Morgan County, AL

1840 Benton County, AL

1850 Benton County, AL

1860 Tuscaloosa County, AL

They had children named the following:

E. A  (male) born about 1832 in AL

B (probably Bradford Kimsey) (male) born about 1834 AL

F (male) born about 1834 in AL
