BARNES -NC/VA/KY/TN/WV
Some BARNES families living in the areas of NC/VA/KY/TN/WV in the last 200 years, *may* belong to an interesting group of people called MELUNGEONS (muh-LUNGE-uhns - rhymes w/ dungeons.)
Some HEALTH problems *may* be involved in this ancestry. My website noted below has some general information on the MELUNGEONS themselves, and more detailed information on possible health issues. Please take a look if your BARNES family came from these areas, or has an Indian grandparent 'myth' which you have been unable to prove, a ship-wreck story, mentions of 'Portyghee' ancestry or is simply one of those 'brick-wall' families.
There are physical characteristics which may help identify descendants.
