About 1798 William Barnes constructed a dugout from a large cypress log over in the state of Georgia, and with his young wife and little daughter, Margaret, then four years old, embarked with all their goods on the Cumberland River for the Territory of Mississippi. Husband, this young wife, with her little child, stepped into that canoe to take the chance on the turbulent waters and dangerous wilds and shoals of the Cumberland, the Ohio, and the Mississippi, in search of land and a permanent home. William Barnes left Amite County and settled in Pike County on Union Creek in 1813, and constructed a carding machine to run by water power, that ginned the seed cotton and carded it into rolls ready for the spinning wheels.
