Research notes

• I found this lead for Isaac's second wife on Find a Grave, need to find documentation to back it up; regarding Isaac Barnett, born 1817: "He was raised by his step-mother, Frederick's second wife, Ann Harris."^[3]
• Date of death: The Hain genealogy book gives his date of death as Feb 15, 1846; however, when you look closely at the gravemarker photo from Find a Grave, it appears to say he died in December, not February.^[1]
