This group of documents was copied from a binder at the Genealogical Forum of Oregon. The title of the binder is "Barnett's of Hanover." It was copied as is and looks like some of the pages were missing or never included.

Contents include:

A recitation of the Hanover Resolutions (Comparable text found at Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania page 32)

A recitation of William Barnett being taken prisoner by Indians (Comparable text found at Pennsylvania Genealogies; Scotch-Irish and German pages 50-52)

A recitation of a Mrs. Hays (unknown source) with reference to Ellen Maria Barnett Kyle

A biographical sketch copied from one of the Pittsburgh pagers of Mrs. Ellen Barnett Kyle, wife of the Rev. Joseph Kyle D.D.

A newspaper article entitled "The Barnetts of Hanover" with handwritten notes referencing the Daily Telegraph, Harrisburg Pennsylvania, June 12, 1880. The newspaper article closely corresponds with the chapter on the Barnett family in Pennsylvania Genealogies; Scotch-Irish and German. The article begins by stating "In December, 1867, there was residing near Springfield, Ohio, at the age of seventy-seven, a member of one of the oldest Hanover Families, Samuel Barnett. From a voluminous letter written by him at that time to Isaac Moorhead, Esq., of Erie, and verification by court and other records, we are enabled to give the accompanying interesting genealogical and historical data. Where quotation marks may be used, unless otherwise noted, the expressions are those of the relator, Mr. Barnett."

A newspaper article about Moses Barnett from the June 10, 1909 edition of the Erie Daily Times, entitled "Old Pioneers" written by Harry W. Lewis. The article continues in the June 17, 1909, and June 24, 1909 editions.

A letter from the First Assistant Postmaster General states that Harry W. Lewis was a carrier in the Erie, Pennsylvania office.

Several pages of difficult to read handwritten notes
