N.N. Barnes

c 1677 England to America. Jacob Barnes emigrated at about this time according to The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.3 The source stated that he visited his brother in England in 1709 after an absence of 32 years.

His wife was a daughter Smith (not proven)

Child 1 - Edward Barnes Edward Barnes, of Edgecombe County
c 1680 / 1685 Edward Barnes, who married Sarah Pope, was born. This Edward Barnes appears to be the son of this Jacob Barnes of Isle of Wight Co., VA, because Jacob Barnes was a member of the same Quaker meeting as Sarah Pope, and he witnessed the will of William Frizzell, which mentions Frizzell’s granddaughter, Susan Pope—the sister or half-sister of Sarah Pope. (Edward died in 1762 in Edgecombe Co., NC.)

CHILD 2 - Anna, NOT PROVED DAUGHTER OF JACOB Barnes
From Thomas Boylan of Rome, GA, "The Barnes Family," p. 5 (no date). Thomas Boulger was married to Sarah Smith (dau of William and Mary Smith); Sarah Boulger and both of her parents left wills in Isle of Wight naming a granddaughter (and niece) as Anna Barnes - another of the Smith daughters, Ann, had married a Wesson (Weston) (see wills of Isle of Wight). Thus Jacob Barnes was very involved with the Smith family, perhaps having married a Smith.

CHILD 3 - Jacob NOT PROVED SON OF JACOB THE ELDER Barnes
27 Nov 1738 Isle of Wight Co., VA. The estate of Jacob BARNES was appraised by Robert King, Humphrey Marshall and William Smith with Francis Floyd signing also; this was recorded 27 Nov 1738 (WillBk4:219). He may have been the Jacob Barnes who died in 1720, but he also may have been that Jacob’s son
