  Some of my information on to Barnetts came from "A genealogical record of
  the antecedents and decendants of William Graham B arnett, son of Thomas
  Barnett, grandson of Hugh Barnett, Mid 1700's - 1983," compiled by Mrs.
  George Marshall Barnette - a typewritten manuscript which I don't think
  was
  ever published. William Graham Barnett (my ancestor) would h ave been a
  brother of Mary Barnett, who married David Turner Thomason, accord ing to
  this source (there's the "Turner").
  "Thomas Barnett - settled five mi les south of Davidson College in
  Mecklenburg County, N.C. Revolutionary War. Thomas married Mary Graham
  (1765-1/27/1788). Birth and death dates for Thomas vary somewhat and both
  show some discrepancies: (1/21/1759 - 4/24/1848) aged 89 y 3 m 24 d, and
  (12/31/1759 - 5/24/1848) 89 y.  Children: eight."
  This ac count shows Mary Barnett's birthdate as 3/01/1785, but when I
  added things up , that made her a good bit older than David Thomasson,
  which I have no proble m with but it also makes her 46 yrs old when her
  first child is born, which I guess is possible. I think some of their
  eight children came
  from Jane Oehl er's previous marriage, even though this account has them
  all together. At fi rst I thought there was a generation error, but in the
  abstract of Thomas Bar nett's will, he names David Thomason as his
  son-in-law, in fact, I think Thom as is living with them in the 1840
  census, where he is identified as a pensio ner.
