Barnett, David Andrew

Submitted by Vincent B. Gwaltney.

.David Andrew Barnett, the one who gave the land for Barnett's Cemetery, was my great, great grandfather. My grandmother was his granddaughter; her dad, Larkin Barnett, I can remember; he lived to be 91 years old and died in 1948. He was David's youngest son, born in 1857; his mother was Celia (Lula) Greer, Richard Greer's daughter. I have David and Celia's wedding picture. Also, taken about the same time, in the same album, there is a picture of Richard Greer and his wife with one of their sons and his crutch. Also with these pictures I have a picture of David's mom and dad, Alice (Ally) Wyatt and James Barnett born in 1786 from Warren County KY. There are other Barnett family pictures, definately Warrick County pioneers.
