(Living Barnes) My mother wrote a book of her research on a line of Barnes that concluded with Peter Barns' (b. 1744 Anne Arundel Co, Maryland) father, Robert Barnes, and mother, Lois Porter, m 1720 in Maryland, in her book cited on Peter Barnes' page without publisher's information: "Kindred Ventures, A History and Genealogy of Peter Barnes 1744-1814 and related families", by Shirley Moore Barnes (1993). While mom and dad are deceased and I have no y-dna (nor brothers or siblings on father's side), I have access to book and my dna from Ancestry.com. Ellen L Barnes [email address removed] if that is useful to anyone.

James and Keturah had at least 9 children.

At least one of them ( probably their oldest " Richard " ) moved south to North Carolina. This line was not documented and because of the lack of documentation some family tree's on Ancestry have assigned Abraham as father to Richard. Because there were several Richard Barnes in NC and because one of them had a son named Abraham this has caused some confusion.

If their is a connection between James and Abraham they may be cousins but I have yet to find a matching Y-DNA descendant of Abraham to compare with my Y-DNA.

None of you monitor the Barnes news feed. Recently a change was made to the James Barnes, Sr. making newly created profile Abraham Barnes his father. This action was remanded the same day but the change was not made on the James Barnes, Sr. profile. I descend from James Barnes, Sr. but only indirectly and by no means consider myself an expert on the line. The experts are Dr. Larry Bowling, admin if the Barnes Y-DNA who descends from that line [[Day-1904|Jack Day}} and Dave McDougle. There have been numerous recent change to many in this line. I hope you will work together to make sure they are accurate.
