I am happy to contribute and join with other Barnett researchers. My brick wall is Joseph Richard Barnett born about 1827 in Tennessee. He married Margaret Adeline Smith in 1849 in McMinn County, Tennessee. They both died in Newton County, Missouri. I am searching for his parents and siblings. He may have had a brother named Isaac. His first son was named John W. Barnett, so that may be a clue to his father's name. Joseph and Margaret spent part of the civil war in Illinois, so I wonder if they had relatives in that state.
