Our ggreat grandparents were brother and sister. 2 questions, which test should I have him take for DNA matches between us, and wold there be any Y-dna or did I lose that with my gggrand mother? ”

Hello Barnett's! As you may or may not know, FTDNA has an upgrading sale going on now through March 31, 2019. If you did Low level test such as Y37, or even Y-111, Spring is a good time to take advantage of the updated price and spread family DNA information further! Maybe if a few more Barnett's would upgrade to Big Y-500 or 700, I might be able to find out who my Barnett ancestors actually were!!! I know they are there because the DNA tells me so, but so far, it has not told me who they are! There are three of us Wrights who are Barnett ancestors! We fit in somewhere in your trees. How about giving us a hand!

“ so i understand that Bernard is a variation of Barnett. during my research i found a person on my list is listed as Barnett but another source has them are Bernard. was it common to change your last name like this in the 1500's? why would they do this in the first place. ”

Probably due to language differences. Very common in the US to find the same family with different surnames because of the heavy Scot-Irish dialecte.

Also due to lack of standardized spelling, illiterate families, inconsistent record keeping, and on occasion feuding brothers.

I could go on, but honestly I would like to verify that this information is correct through DNA. Is there anyone else on here that is related to this Barnett \ Bernard family? I would love to compare with you. It's great to be able to find new family. I know I can't exactly be linked according to Y-DNA since I'm not a male Barnett, but hopefully my mtDNA will show that we are related. Thanks for allowing me to join the Barnett Group. I look forward to linking with my Cousins on here. Blessings and hugs, Jenny Gaulding Low

Hey Ross, My name is Lora-Beth Barnett and I am researching the Haplotype J Barnetts for my husband. Can you give me some additional info on George, William, and John so that I can better identify the family. My husband tested with FTDNA and not ancestry so I only have access to ancestry dna information through others. Thank you for any help you can give.

The only JM-172 Y DNA match I’ve found, up to Y65, is with an Albert Barnett b1823 d1900 in USA

@James Wright I only know my maternal haplogroup which is T2b. My Daddy passed away before we could get his DNA tested. My Uncle, who is also a Barnett descendent is Haplogroup R-U152.

Hello! I am looking for information on Uriah Barnett my 5th Great-grandfather. He was born in North or South Carolina around 1783 and married Keziah Islley or Istilly in Georgia around 1801. Uriah was living in Benton County, Alabama in 1840 and was postmaster there, but then they moved on to Neshoba, Mississippi by 1850 and died 1863. Uriah's son is William Riley Barnett (moved back to Tuscaloosa, Alabama), then Bradford Kimsey Barnett, his son George Washington Barnett ( in Alabama), his son Hugh R Barnett - my great-grandfather.

Hey Angela, my name is Lora-Beth Barnett and i am doing research on my husband Michael's family tree. Uriah and Michael are part of the same DNA group. Uriah's descendants are pretty well document but his parents remain a mystery. I found your tree on ancestry.com and enjoyed the pictures you posted. If I find anything about Uriah's parents I will let you know.

March 29 @ 12:09pm
hello Lora-Beth!! Thank you!! My cousin Doris Barnett Bryson had been researching for years on Uriah and couldn't find anything. Someone told her they believed his dad's name was John (but which one!!) and some say it could have been David. I am hoping to find answers here plus try to convince my brother or a male Barnett cousin to do the y-dna. Also, another mystery in the family you may or may not have info on. William Riley's son Bradford Kimsey was murdered. Some say shot and some say was stabbed. Can't find a court case on this or where he is buried.

Well I am kind of leaning toward William being his father so the mystery continues. I had heard about the murder from some message board postings which included a couple of your postings so I am no help with that. I imagine if enough people do dna testing his possible parents can be narrowed down. I have managed to come up with several family clusters that I think are in my husband's Barnett line. I am just missing the Barnetts that tie them together. Happy to have touched base with you. Cooperation with other researchers has solved more than one mystery for me so I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

I descend from Richard Barnett, son of John and Katherine Farrar Barnett. Richard and his wife Lucy Wade, had a son named George. I wish to prove George to Richard. George was born in Spartanburg. The family,was affiliated with cedarSprings and Boiling Springs churches. The church records are at Furman University, but they don’t lend them out. Richard died intestate in Lawrence Alabama. I can not as yet find anything of use in Lawrence to link George to Richard. Any advice or help or lore should be appreciated!

Another son of John & Katherine Farrar, Edward moved to Spartenburg. He married a Martha Lewis. Not sure if you show them there? There daughter married John Cantwell and they moved to TN and then some to GA.

Looking for any information on William Barnett, who was born in Ireland c.1804 and is found in Manchester, Lancashire, from 1826 onwards, when he married Ellen HARDMAN. The family remained in Manchester. My descent is through William and Ellen's son James who married Emma Owen in 1850, their son John who married Mary Cummins in 1873, their son Frederick who married Mary WILKIN in Hartlepool, County Durham, in 1913, and their daughter Olga. Any connections eagerly anticipated!!

Interesting tidbit from the court documents for Franklin county, Virginia, 1786-1789, a "John Barnett" was convicted for being a horse thief on 30 Aug 1786 and was still in jail in Dec of same year. Not sure what happened after that or who he may be related to.
George Barnett George Barnett has a question!
March 31, 2016 @ 5:09pm
“ I have a new Barnett that has come up in my Y-DNA and I can find nothing about him anywhere. He is listed as Jesse Barnett b. 1777 and d. 1818. No place of birth or death is given. My most distant confirmed relative is John Barnett born about 1770 and d. around 1745 in Pulaski County, MO. He married a Nancy b. 1780 in SC and she died after 1850 in Camden County, MO. My John Barnett is DNA matched to several Barnard's, Jacob, b. 1780, d. 1821, possibly in Ireland, Zadock his brother, b. 1779 in Ireland. Several other Barnard's match as well. This Jessie Barnett b. 1777 is the only other Barnett in my Y-DNA so he is of great interest. Does anybody have any information about him? ”

Hi Ralph, I descend from Joseph Barnett (Barnard) born 1800 in KY and died before 1850 in Saline County IL. In 1820, he lived next door to David Barnett Sr. who had sons and one was named Zadock. Not sure how Joseph and David Sr. are related but they must be. Do you know Lynn Barnett from W. Frankfort? He is from this group of Barnetts as well and he is waiting on his DNA results as well. Let's stay in touch. I'd love to know your results and see if we are a match. When you get your DNA results, please consider uploading them to Gedmatch - it is a site that serious genealogists use and there are a lot of different tools there. Thanks.

Zadock seems to be a fairly common name in this line. I wonder where it came from. I am from the Zadock Barnett (born in North Carolina 1745, died in Georgia 1823) line. I just made the connection through wills and traditional genealogy. I hope to find his parents. Also, there are lots of different ideas about the surname of his wife "Dolly" who was the mother of all his children. Any Ideas?
