Josiah S. Barnes 
Josiah was born on August 10th, 1740 in Southerington, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.1 Josiah's father was Jedediah Barnes and his mother was Abigail Warner. His paternal grandparents were Ebenezer Barnes and Deborah Orvis. He had a brother and two sisters, named Samuel, Lois and Abigale. He was the second youngest of the four children. He died in Grayson, Kentucky, USA.1 General Notes
Copied verbatim from records of Ruth (Denison) Prater. Josiah Barnes and his wife Elizabeth Tramell, along with their younger children, left Va. and went to Kentucky to find timber. He first went to Hardin Co. Kentucky, but he didn't like what he saw, so he moved to Grayson County Kentucky around 1813 and lived near Peter Cave. Their older children, John, Jane and Nancy stayed in Virginia until about 1815. Jane had married William (Denison) and the first time William's name appeared on a tax record was 1820. James was born about 1818 in Kentucky, according to the 1850 Kentucky census. Tramell was born 1809 in Va. Married Francis "Fannie" Carter born in Va. Ca. 1808. Many of the Carters came to Grayson Co. Ky. about the time William and Jane came. Most of them are buried in Grayson Co. Kentucky but many don't have gravestones.
