Barnabas Michael

Barnabas Michael was born in 1769 in North Carolina.  He married Catherine.  Catherine was born in 1770 in North Carolina.

Children of Barnabas Michael and Catherine are:
1.  William J. Michael was born in 1791.
2.  James Michael was born in 1801.
3.  Sarah Michael was born in 1803 in Tennessee.
4.  Daughter Michael was born between 1800 and 1810 in Tennessee.
5.  Barnabas Michael was born in 1810.
6.  Peter Michael was born on September 24, 1813.
7.  Daughter Michael was born between 1815 and 1820 in Tennessee.
8.  Son Michael was born between 1820 and 1825 in Tennessee. 
9.  Daughter Michael was born between 1820 and 1825 in Tennessee.

Notes 
Daughter born between 1815 and 1820 is likely to be Katherine Michael who married Aaron Jones on June 12, 1832 in Carroll County, Georgia.  Katherine had apparently died before 1850, and most likely closer to 1840.  Aaron had remarried to a woman named Mary by 1850. According to the 1850 census, Aaron was born around 1814.  Daughter born between 1820 and 1825 is most likely Eleanor Michael who married Arthur McWhorter on September 21, 1836 in Carroll County, Georgia.  According to the 1850 census, Eleanor was 30 years old.  She and Arthur had four children.  These two girls could just as equally be granddaughters of Barnabas by his son William.  William has two daughters who are in the same age group as well.

Research of Coy Michael
Barney was born about 1769 in NC. I have not found his parents or his wife, Catherine's parents. She was also born in NC. Barney was in Jefferson Co., TN in 1800. He was appointed Road Overseer there. By 1805 Barney had purchased 150 acres of property in Grainger County, TN. Both Barney and William were on the 1814 tax list of Grainger County. William had 200 acres. In 1815 William went to Jefferson County to marry Hannah Sellers. Hannah was the daughter of John Sellers and Rebecca George. John and Rebecca remained in Jefferson County until after the 1830 Census. They both died in Hamilton Co., TN in August 1839.
Barney and William and families moved to Monroe County, TN in the 1820s as soon as the Indians moved out. They purchased land in the Hiwassee District of Monroe County, TN and were there in the 1830 Census. In 1831 they sold their land and moved to Carroll Co., GA.
John did not have a sister named Mary that I know of. In 1830 he had one girl age 10 to 15. In 1840 he had one girl 5 to 10. The other, who would be 20 to 25, apparently married. In 1850 the census listed Sarah, age 16, as the only girl in William's home.

  1. When Barnabas Michael settled in Carroll Co., GA. he lived next door to a James Michael. In the 1830 census of Carroll Co., Ga., James Michael household there was a young male (age 20-30) and an older male (age 60-70). I don't know which was named head of household. In the 1830 census of Monroe Co., TN. Barney was age 50-60. Barney had been to Carroll Co., prior to this census to obtain land and went back to Monroe Co. to sell his land there, So, in the 1840 census Barney, Sr. is age 70-80 and living next door to James Michael, age 30-40. Apparently the older Michael from the 1830 census has died. There is an apparent relationship between the two households. Could the older male in the 1830 James Michael household be a father or a brother to Barney?
