From: "Fordyce Logan Jr." <flogan@mac.com> Subject: Re: [BARNETT] JAMES BARNETT - DIED 1791- BOTETOURT CO VA Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 10:22:06 -0800 In-Reply-To: <18b.134da824.2b31d5ae@aol.com>


>HI, JACKIE

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CORRECTION TO THIS LINE.

COL JAMES BARNETT , WIFE RACHAEL WAS THE SON OF SGT JAMES BARNETT AND REBECCA . COL JAMES DID NOT HAVE A SON REIZEN, HIS CHILDREN WERE JOHN, WILLIAM-MY GG GRANDFATHER, RACHAEL, DAVID JAMES, ANN AND MARGARET. THE WILL OF COL JAMES WILL WAS PROBATED 7 4 1808. THERE IS NO REIZEN LISTED IN HIS WILL, LAND RECORD OR IN ANY OTHER RECCORDS IN BOTETOURT, OR MONTGOMERY CO. VA.

JAMES WAS A CAPT IN THE REV WAR AND WAS NOT MADE COL. UNTIL 1782 AND AFTER THE REV WAR WAS OVER. HE CAN NOT BE LISTED BY THE DAR AS A COL. DURING THE REV WAR, ONLY A CAPT.

THE DAR HAS CORRECTED THEIR THEIR RECORDS TO REFLECT THE ABOVE INFO. THEY NOW HAVE A COPY OF THE WILL OF COL. JAMES. AND THE WILL OF SGT JAMES ON FILE ALONG WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER RECORDS.

I HAVE TRIED TO FIND THE PARENTS OF OF REIZEN BARNETT FOR THE DAR WITH NO LUCK. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE DAR HAS NOT FOUND A FATHER FOR HIM EITHER. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE FATHER COULD BE ANOTHER JAMES BARNETT AND THAT COL JAMES OF BOTETOURT. MONTGOMERY CO. VA. WAS USED BECAUSE OF HIS DOCUMENTED SERVICE. I DO NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL COPY THE MARRIAGE BOND OF REIZEN. ONLY AN ABSTRACT FROM A BOOK. IF YOU CAN FIND A PLOTO COPY OF THE BOND, MAYBE IT WILL LIST A FATHER OR BROTHER ETC.

I HAVE SAR CERTIFICATES FOR CAPT JAMES BARNETT, HIS SON PVT. WILLIAM BARNETT AND A CERTIFICATE FOR THOMAS MILLER THE FATHER OF WILLIAM'S WIFE ANN MILLER ALL THREE SERVED FROM BOTETOURT CO. VA.

JOHN, WILLIAM AND ANN MOVED ON TO LINCOLN CO. KY. . THE REST STAYED IN BOTETOURT AND MONTGOMERY CO.

I AM SORRY TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS HOWEVER THE DAR HAS A CORRECTION DEPT. NOW, SO THAT THEY CAN CORRECT SOME OF THE OLD INFORMATION THAT WAS INCORRECT.

FORDYCE LOGAN, JR.
