Barnett and Robert R. Barnett (Jr?). As I read through the records, it was hard to tell for sure but I suspect the Barnett's were children of Robert Barnett (1754-1827), a RS and grandson of Humphrey Barnett who moved to Wilkinson County from Cowpen, SC. Joseph Maddox' Book Historical Collections of Wilkinson County listed Isaac Barnett as b. abt. 1800 to Robert Barnett and lst wife, Sarah Love (1754-1807). Isaac Barnett m. Clarissa Clark.
