Son of Samuel & Abigail (Dains) Barnes.
Husband of Experience Ingraham.

from History & Directory of Yates County:
"Samuel Barnes was of Puritan descent, the third in the genealogical line of the same name, and a Connecticut farmer when he and his family united with the Friend's Society. His wife was Abigail Dains, sister of the Dains brothers of the Friend's Society. Their eldest son Parmelee came to the New Jerusalem with the settlers of 1789, and Elizur, the next son, in 1791. The parents came with the remaining children, Julius, Samuel and Henry, in March, 1793, with a sleigh and horses, driven by Daniel, a son of Eleazer Ingraham, by way of Albany, a journey of sixteen days. They contracted for land of Charles Williamson, near Himrods, where they cleared 22 acres, and remained till 1800, when they sold out and removed to Jerusalem. They took up a home in what was then a dense wilderness, on the "Asa Richard's lot," where the wild animals made it very difficult for years to rear those of the domestic species. After clearing a little space, they moved on a homestead near by of 21 acres, deeded to his parents by the elder son, Parmalee Barnes. Here the father died in 1809 at the age of sixty-six. His wife, a most estimable matron, died in 1842, at the age of ninety-two.

Parmalee Barnes died in 1820 without children. His widow married Peter Kinney of Benton, whose son Jonathan Kinney, married Almira, a daughter of Samuel Barnes, junior.

Elizur Barnes married Experience, a daughter of Nathaniel Ingraham, and lived in Jerusalem, west of Larzelere's Hollow, where he died. His widow still survives at the age of eighty-six. Their children were Huldah, Amy, Mary and Ira. Huldah became the second wife of Jesse Davis; Amy married Cornelius Van Scoy. The others died unmarried."
