He married Luraney and had the following children:
James A. b. 1835
Elizabeth C. b. 1842
Amanda b. 1844
Americas b.1846
Even though Blanding Barnett's grave marker gives his year of death as 1880, he is not found in census records after 1850. His wife, Luraney, is found in the 1860 census as head-of-household; in 1870 she (indexed as "Lunny Barnett", age 50, by Ancestry.com) is in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Aminda (as given in census) and W. A. Britton (again, as listed in census). In 1880 Luraney is still in the household of daughter Arminda A. and W. A. Brittain (different spelling than that of 1870).
