Joseph Barnett Jr. was a son of Joseph Barnett Sr. and Mary Walker Barnett Lewis. He married Rebecca Cannon on September 20, 1827 in Hurricane Township, Lincoln County, Missouri.

They were the parents of:

1.) Cordelia Barnett m. George Gresham
2.) Mary Elizabeth Barnett m. John Gresham
3.) Orville Walker Barnett m. Maryette Curtis
4.) Rachel Rebecca Barnett m. James Dunaven
5.) James Elmore Barnett

From the Cannon book by Clarence Cannon:
'Practically nothing is known of Joseph Barnett, beyond the dates given. His death occurred soon after that of his wife and the two are doubtless buried in the same cemetery. Samuel Cannon, administrator of the estate of his father, James, mentions in his final settlement that Ephraim Cannon, of Illinois, received one share, of the estate as "the lawful guardian of the heirs of Joseph Barnett." He was probably a son of Joseph Barnett who died in Christian County, Kentucky, March 1799. Will dated December 13, 1798, mentions wife Mary and unborn child. (Kentucky State Historical Society Register, Vol. 25, ((1927)) Page 174)

He was elected Constable of the Bay Creek Precinct in Pike county, Illinois in 1835 (From the newspaper "The Bounty Land Register").
