Elihu Barnes was born about 1810 in Burke Co, NC, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Pressley Barnes.He married Mary Polly Rowland, who was born 1810 in Ashe County, NC, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Barbara Fouts Rowland.Elihu and Mary were married February 18, 1833 in Macon County, NC.1850 Macon County Census shows:

Mary, 40, F, Ashe Co, NC
George Yontz, 25, M, Macon Co, NC

Mary J. Barnes, 13, F, Macon Co NC
James M. Barnes, 11, M, Macon Co NC
Elihu Barnes 5/12, M, Macon Co, NC
The child I have for Elihu and Mary, in addition to the above Barnes children,is Sarah Sallie Barnes, married William R. Yonce on Dec 10, 1849.
I do not have any other info on Elihu's parents, but his brothers and sisters are :
John, Jim, Joe (brothers)
Rebecca (Becky )(married Jim Fouts)
Annie (married Kager Lunsford)
Nancy (married Wesley Rowland)
I have the parents of Mary Polly as Joseph Rowland, son of Abraham and Marie Catherine Pepple Rowland;and Elizabeth Barbara Fouts, daughter of John Leonard Fouts and Catherine Shearer.Joseph and Elizabeth settled in the Nantahala Community of Macon County NC.
