Barnett and Kenney
I have traced my Barnett family back to Alexander Barnett b. 1754 in VA.
His father's name is unknown for sure. Family history says that they were from the Barnetts that left Scotland in the 1600s and went to N. Ireland, then to the USA (PA and VA) in early 1700s.
My gggrandfather, John I. Barnett b, 1780 married Sally Kenney.
Sally's grandfather was born 1720 in N.Ireland and named Barnett Kenney.
Since there were Barnetts also in N. Ireland in the early 1700s,
I am curious as to whether these 2 families were related back in Ireland.
The Kenney family history has the Kenneys going from England to Ireland.
