JAMES A. BARNETT, farmer; P. O. Franklin; was born in Franklin Township Aug. 11, 1827; he is a son of Joseph and Sarah (Harrison) Barnett. His father was born in Dauphin Co., Penn., March, 1787, and died Jan. 1, 1870; he came to Warren County in 1810, and, in 1818, he located on the farm which our subject occupies; his father, Joseph Barnett, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. Our subject was reared on his father's farm. Oct. 15, 1856, he was joined in marriage to Sarah E. Barker, a native of Ontario Co., N. Y., born in November, 1829, and a daughter of Samuel Barker. This union was blessed with two children, viz., Mary V., born June 27, 1857, wife of Charles P. Parker, and Joseph S., born July 15, 1863. Mr. Barnett is a man of considerable literary talent and has quite a library. He has taken great interest in relics of ancient origin and has accumulated a large museum, consisting of Egyptian, Roman, Grecian, Syrian, Arabian and Palestinian coins and relics found in excavations made in Egypt and also many Indian relics. Mr. Barnett owns a farm of 150 acres on Section 25, and is engaged in farming and stock-raising. He is a member of the Grange and in politics is a Republican.
