Ronnie;
There were many, many "Solomon's" in my Barnes ancestry. I tried to go through them in my Family Tree Maker; however, for most of them I have scanty information. I am aware of one line that went to the state of Tennessee, and that was a nephew of my mother's grandfather. His name was Joshua Barnes, and he established a tiny village in Tennessee he named "Barnesville". However, it is so tiny and not incorporated, I am not sure it can be found on the map. This Joshua Barnes was born in 1847 in Lawrence Co., Indiana, and died in 1893 in Barnesville. He had an uncle Solomon, and he and all that generation were born in North Carolina.
