NOTE: EVERYONE HAS ASSUMED HIS NAME TO BE ADINA. CHECK THE CENSUS RECORDS: IT IS ADINO.


The family does not show in the 1810 census for Hillsdale, Columbia Co, NY, though there is a Widow Barnes listed.

There is an Adino Barnes, age 80, on the 1870 census for Caanan, Litchfield. The pic has been saved.

Eureka! There he is in Caanan, Litchfield, Connecticut in 1820!

After being such a mystery, Adino Barnes lived in Caanan all his life. His name shows clearly on at least two census records as ADINO. So much for the Barnes Family Yearbooks. The Barbour Collection has his first name as ADIRA.

The National Archives was unable to find a record of his military service. Their note reads, "Service records for the Revolutionary War are incomplete. Many of the original records were lost in a fire that occurred November 8, 1800, in offices occupied by the War Department. Other records were lost in 1814 when public buildings in Washington were ransacked and burned by the British Army. Because of these incidents some Federal pensions were approved for Revolutionary War veterans even though no official documentation of their service exists among the records of the War Department. In such cases, pensions were usually granted based on the authenticity of the affidavits and other supporting evidence submitted by the veteran and others concerning his military service."
