Thomas Barnes m. Ann Murphy - 1813, Wilkes Co. NC
I would like to get in touch with decendants and/or researchers of Thomas Barnes who married Ann Murphy in March of 1813 in Wilkes Co., NC.
I am suspicious that this Thomas was the one listed as the bondsman on the marriage license to my great-great grandparents marriage on May 28, 1819 in Wilkes County, North Carolina, in the area that is now Taylorsville.
They were Joshua Barnes and his wife, Sarah Murhpy/Merphree. (seen written both ways). Their first two children were born there, then they migrated to Lawrence Co., Indiana, where the rest of their children were born including my mother's maternal grandfather,Levi Barnes.
I THINK that Joshua was a grandson of "Deaf John" Barnes, son of Brinsley. But I am trying to find out for sure who his father was.
If anyone can give me any information at all, clues, hints, etc. I would be SO appreciative!
Thanks in advance,
Penny Fields Gardner
