(I have not researched the Barnes family, but am sharing the information I have regarding this family.)
Reason "Reece" Barnes was born July 1864, in Missouri. He was the son of Joshua David Barnes and Nancy Elizabeth Riley.
Joshua David Barnes, born October 14, 1838, in Kentucky; died May 24, 1915, in Conway County, Arkansas; buried in Old Hickory Cemetery, in Conway County, was the son of Zachariah Barnes (b. 1798, MD; d. 1871, MO) and Nancy Ray (b. 1793, KY; d. 1870-1880). Nancy Riley was born October 19, 1839, in Kentucky; died March 17, 1914, in Conway County and is buried in Old Hickory Cemetery.
