There is a widely circulating belief in online genealogical circles that Elizabeth (Unknown) Barnes was the daughter of James Lindley Jr. and Eleanor (Parke) Lindley, Jones. Research shows that Elizabeth Barnes is not the daughter of this couple. Please refer to the G2G thread that discusses the origins of Elizabeth Barnes. <link>

notes

"The Elizabeth Lindley that was the spouse of Brinsley Barnes was an older woman, probably born about 1715. A marriage record has not been found to my knowledge, but they are presumed to have married about 1733. Her eldest dau Mary Barnes, b.17 9M 1734, Chester co,PA, was the wife of Samuel Carter. She came to Cane Creek MM,NC in 1766 on certificate from Concord MM,PA. There is some reason to believe that her mother Mrs Elizabeth (Lindley) Barnes is the Elizabeth Barns who was received on request at Cane Creek MM,NC in 1760.

Comments

Update June 2018:

Cannot have been a daughter of James Lindley, "The Immigrant" & Eleanor Jones if Eleanor also had this daughter Elizabeth Jones

Update Dec 2015:

The DNA match (see below) is thought to be from the down tree Jones / Barnes marriage.

There is a "proven" daughter of James Lindley & Eleanor named Elizabeth. "This" Elizabeth cannot be the daughter of James Lindley, "The Immigrant" & Eleanor Jones

DNA testing

From DNA test indicates Elizabeth Lindley as wife of Brinsley Barnes Date: December 12, 2012 at 09:37:59

For some time, researchers have debated whether Elizabeth Lindley, daughter of James Lindley and Eleanor Parke, was the wife of Brinsley Barnes (abt 1715-1794). I recently took Ancestry.com’s new autosomal DNA test that looks at DNA passed down through both maternal and paternal lines and seeks to identify common ancestors when two people share small, but statistically significant identical pieces of DNA. I have been receiving results for the past 4 months (since July 2012) and have some interesting results that I want to share with others researching the Barnes line and looking for information on the frequently assumed marriage of Brinsley and Elizabeth Lindley.

I am a descendent of Mary Barnes, Brinsley's oldest daughter who married Samuel Carter. She is relatively well documented thru various sources as are a number of Brinsley’s other children. It was no surprise that I came up with six DNA matches to people related to one or another of her siblings. Three to Solomon Barnes, two to John Deaf Barnes and one to Brinsley Barnes Jr. Again, no surprise. These men (and their lines) are fairly well recognized as Brinsley's children.

The surprise is that I also had seven different DNA matches to James Lindley thru siblings of Elizabeth Lindley...in other words, descendants of James Lindley who have no connection to the Barnes line.

Those included three matches for brother Thomas Lindley, two for sister Margaret "Margery" Lindley. and two for sister Mary Lindley. Now, if I had gotten one or even two, I would have thought interesting, but seven matches to James Lindley when I have no other connection to the Lindley line that I know of other than thru Elizabeth, makes me pretty convinced that Elizabeth Lindley was indeed Brinsley's wife and mother of his children.
