Research Notes

This John Barnes is probably the John Barnes mentioned in the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy. Vol. VI: (Virginia). A John Boweter from Cumberland, England, wrote letters back to England mentioning some of the active Quakers in the Pagan Creek Quaker Group (located in Isle of Wight, Virginia Colony). The name John Barnes was mentioned in these letters.^[1]
