Leonard Barnes m. Rebecca Eastin,1811, Ky. to Ind.
Leonard Barnes, b. ca. 1791, married Rebecca Eastin, b. ca. 1795, on 17 Nov. 1811, Gallatin Co., Ky.Moved to Jefferson Co., Ind. by 1812, Petition.Listed in 1820 census Jefferson Co., Ind. aged 26-44 yrs., 2 boy under 10 yrs., 2 girls under 10 yrs., wife 16-26 yrs.
Listed in Clark Co., Indiana census in 1830, aged 30-39 yrs., 1 male 10-14, 1 male aged 15-19, 2 fem. 0-4, 1 fem. 10-14, wife aged 30-39 yrs.Wife Rebecca died before 1846, year unknown.They had at least 5 children, probably 6, as one of their daughters may have married before the census of 1830.They were not found in the 1840 census.
A Francis Barnes died in 1852, Jefferson Co., Ind. he owns a house and lot in Scott Co., Ind.His Will names 8 children, including his six "elder" children, one of the "elder" children is named Leonard.
Does anyone know what happened to Leonard's family?Does anyone know the names of their children or know where they went?
[A Leonard Barnes, b. ca. 1800-1810, is found in the 1840 Census of Jennings Co., Ind. but he does not seem to be old enough to be the same person as the one listed above].
Another Leonard Barnes aged 58, b. Va. is listed in the 1850 Census of Johnson Co., Ind., he is about the right age to be the one in the petition in Jefferson Co., Ind. in 1812 and in Jefferson Co., Ind. in 1820 and in Clark Co., Ind. in 1830, but I cannot verify that this is the right Leonard Barnes,(who first married Rebecca Eastin) he is listed with a wife aged 53, named ?A{r?)rdins.
The last named Leonard has five children listed, all born previous to the time that Rebecca Eastin Barnes is said to be dead, her precise death year is unknown. Children listed;
Charles, aged 33, {ca. 1817), Jane, aged 21, Mary, aged 17, Elizabeth, aged 14, and Nancy, aged 12, all born in Indiana. Does anyone know what happened to this family?
Any information on the above Leonard Barnes will be appreciated.Please contact me at [email protected].
