I know your blog will be up soon, you are quite a tech-savvy person if I’ve ever seen one. I plan to see Sonja this weekend, I’m only sorry I missed you. That’s good info on Felix Barnes. I’ve seen that Joe Doran you refer to in the records. I really am trying to get down to Hardin to spend a day in the courthouse before the year is out. I just have to find the time.

Great job! No, I haven’t set up a blog as yet. I just got the program you recommended and I am trying to transfer information and get use to the program. Hopefully soon I will be able to devote more time to getting my information in order. Hope to talk to you soon!

However, I think she may have been thinking about the Dorans that he lived with as a servent when he was 16. The 1880 Hardin County Census shows “Felix Barnes” living in the household of William P. Doran.

She also said he was raised by Samuel Holt and when he be came of age, Sam gave him a horse and some money and he went out on his own.

Or just one of Lucy Holt’s? Did I tell you the exact same picture Nella had and thought was Lucy Barnes is the exact same picture that the other descendants had framed in Inkster Michigan of Sam and Lucy? I think it is so interesting that I have gotten the same pictures through completely different channels. Do you like the blog so far? I’ve very excited about it.

Aunt didn’t remember his name but she did say that it was her son. I will go through and fine the picture and send you a copy.
