On the 1850 census for the Southern District, dwelling and family # 303, the family of Edward Barnes ( age 35, merchant, b NC) is listed. His wife, Sarah F. is listed as being 26, born Georgia. the children listed are Alice, age 4; Elizabeth P.; Sarah A, age 2 and Desdemona, age1. There is also a William Barnes with this family, age 28, a merchant, b NC.
Does anyone have further knowledge of Sarah F Barnes ? Maiden name ? On 27 Feb 2003, Christine Thacker listed ( this list) names of those interrred in the Barnes and Powell cemeteries - it gives information on some of the above family members. According to that listing, Sarah was born Dec 31, 1824 and died November 4, 1857. I am extremely interested in the possible maiden name of Sarah. Any assistance VERY much appreciated. What religion was this family ? What were the churches in this area ? THANK YOU for any help !
