Looking for the birth date and parents of Ezekiel BARNETT who was born before 1770 in an unknown place, and died before 16 September 1801 in Greene Co,PA. He was married to Eleanor KILGORE, daughter of Thomas KILGORE and Rebecca LASSLEY (LESSLIE). He had a brother married to Eleanor's sister, Jane and her brother, Matthew was married to a BARNETT sister. They may have been married in Maryland-that is where the KILGORE parents died. Land Records mention: Persons holding Virginia Land Grants to lands in SW Pennsylvania: Ezekiel BARNETT-400 a.-Dated 22 April 1780 on Harm's Run. He was in Washington Co, PA before 1784 per the tax list. The children of Eleanor and Ezekiel were: Rebecca-married William GRANDON(per quit claim deed), John, William married Ann, Elizabeth-married John GORBY, Rhoda-married HITCHCOCK, Lucinda-married Matthew MELLON, Nellie-married SINCLAIR, James, Martha-married CRAIG and Eleanor-married RUCKMAN

Have you determined which of Ezekiel's sons was the father of Ezekiel who married Elizabeth Grandon? The 1840 census for Tyler Co, (West Virginiaa gives an age of 20 - 30 for Ezekiel. The 1820 census in Greene Co shows John Barnett with no sons the appropriate age, William Barnett has four sons - his will names four sons, but no Ezekiel - Mathew Barnett has two sons the correct age.

I am researching children of the second marriage of Omar E. Barnett to Florence Rymer of Calhoun Co, West Virginia
