..birth occurred in Washington county, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming, owning and operating a small tract of land. He was also a shoemaker by trade and engaged in that pursuit to some extent. He came to Pike county, Illinois, in the fall of 1854, making his way down the Ohio river and up the Mississippi to Little Cincinnati, Illinois. He brought with him his household goods and live stock, having four tons of property which was thus shipped to his western home. He located near Baylis and purchased a farm of one hundred and twenty acres from William Davis on section 24, New Salem township. He brought with him his wife and family of nine children and one of his sons, William Barnes, had come to Pike county the year previous.
