This profile was created in 2016 under questionable circumstances and it was shown to be the daughter of Barnes-1147 and Carter-2669. I questioned this but had no proof and did nothing but adopted it when it was abandoned in an attempt to resolve the issue. The former President of the NC State Sons of the American Revolution, Randy Steele contends that he is the great-grandson of Elizabeth Victoria Barnes Steele wife of Benjamin Franklin Steele from Alexander County. He further states that Elizabeth Victoria is the daughter of Barnes-1147 and Carter-2669. I consider it highly unlikely that parents would give two children the same given names. Knowing how this profile was created, I am unlinking it from the parents mentioned above. The marriage record on the profile between Elizabeth Barnes and Michael Swaim has been verified as correct. Many Swaim's and descendants of Brinsley (Barnes-1145) migrate to Parke County, Indiana and it is probable that Elizabeth is a descendant, but there is no evidence to support the above-referenced parents. Collaboration is encouraged. I will maintain this profile on my Watchlist with a low priority and give up management to anyone wanting to provide sources.
