Solomon Barnes' undated will, proved in February 1807 in Wilkes County, names wife Elizabeth; sons Peter, Reuben, Charles, Solomon, and John; daughters Ruth, Sarah, Lydia Isbell (wife of William Tompkins Isbell), Rachel Brown (deceased), and Mary Carley (wife of Larkin Cearley).

Whether the widow was the same Elizabeth is unclear; she is shown as aged 16-26 in the 1800 census. Unless this is an error, Barnes may have remarried. Supporting this theory is an apparent gap between what appears to be two sets of children.

This Solomon was married to Elizabeth Murphree, not Elizabeth Phillips. His son was married to Elizabeth Phillips in 1813.

Elizabeth Isabel Murphree is named as "Elizabeth Barnes" in her father's will:

In addition, evidently his mother is not documented as Elizabeth Lindley
