Family trees compiled by descendants show he died in Lawrence County, Alabama in 1832. (Source unknown.)
He was a son of Joseph Barnett and Lucy (Wade) Barnett; grandson of John Barnett and Marian Frances (Gibbs) Barnett, Richard Wade and Grisselle (Dabney) Wade; great-grandson of John Barnett and Katherine (Farrar) Barnett, John Dabney and Sarah (Jennings) Dabney.
His great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Dabney, Indian interpreter for Cockacoeske, Queen of the Pamunkey and a grand-niece of Pocahontas. Cornelius Dabney's second wife Susannah is thought by historians to be the daughter of the Pamunkey Queen.
The Dabneys, Wests, Farrars, Perrins, Royalls, Banks, Reynolds were some of the Barnett ancestors among the First Families of Virginia. Richard Barnett's great-great-grandfather "William John Bernard" Barnett married Anna Rolfe, who was claimed as a granddaughter of Pocahontas.
Richard Barnett and his wife Susan Smith were probably neighbors growing up. Richard and Susan sold more than 500 acres in the Spartanburg area on Fairforest Creek, adjoining Tates Brook and Kelso Creek, between 1800 and 1817. Some researchers say they were listed as residents of Giles County, TN in 1814. On Nov. 6, 1817 in Spartanburg, Richard Barnett sold "a negro girl Betty about 14 years old" to Hancock Smith for $500. Richard died before 1824.
Richard's father Joseph Barnett is buried in the Barnett family cemetery, now in Croft State Park in South Carolina. Joseph's wife Lucy Wade, according to her epitaph, "died in the hopes of happiness."
"Here lies the body of Joseph Barnett who departed this life by the fall of a tree March 1, 1802. Aged near 70 years. The good citizen, obligeing neighbor, affectionate husband, kind parent & indulgent father --all conspire to complete his character-- O Death Great is thy triumph-- But he shall rise in Glory at the great Day."
Susannah Smith moved from Spartanburg, SC by 1840 to Campbell County, GA, where her son Cyprian and daughter Gabriella were living. She apparently began suffering from health problems, including urinary troubles, after she moved to GA, but by March 1842, it had grown much worse. Her son Cyprian wrote in 1842 that " mama is very low and weak minded... a doctor has attended on her but all to no purpose and she I believe gets worse constant so aunt if you want ever want to see her anymore you must come here and not delay too long neither for from the present appearances she can't last long."
On the same occasion, Susannah wrote, "I take one more opportunity of informing you that we are all well at this time with the exception of myself, I am very feeble and low and has been for a long time., what it is that ails me I cannot tell you I am so nigh helpless that I can neither get up or down nor walk about the house nor yard only as Betty helps me and goes about with me and holds me up by the arm. I have been lingering so long and without any alteration only for the worse that I have lost all hopes of ever getting so I can go about again....Tell Tilla that we console with her and Ambrose on the lose of their sons but tell them that we was born to die that these bodies were only lent us for awhile and then they must return from whence they came and as they boys was recalled first from this world to bear the shock as well as they can... Gabrielle family is all well. Gabrielle had a daughter [Catherine Short] on the 26th of February last. the times is grievous hard, money is scarce.. "
