60. Richard Bernard.
Richard Bernard (also written Barnett), the son of Richard Bernard and his second wife, Elizabeth (Woolhouse) Morley, was christened on 12 March 1608 at Turvey in Bedfordshire, England. Richard was apparently married twice during his life. He married his first wife, Dorothy Aleway, by a marriage license dated 12 December 1632, in the St. Faith-in-the-Virgin Church in London, England. Whatever happened to her has not been determined, however it is known that Richard married for a second time only two years latter.
Richard's second marriage, which was authorized by a marriage license dated 24 November 1634, was to Anne Corderoy at St. Andrews-in-the-Wardrobe, also in London, England. Anne, who was christened on 29 April 1609 at Chute in Wiltshire, England, was the daughter of William Corderoy and Bridget Goddard.
After their marriage, Richard and Anne settled at Petsoe in Buckinghamshire, England, and it is there that all of their children were born. Sometime during the period 1647 to 1650, however, Richard and Anne emigrated to America, where they settled in the present State of Virginia. Richard, who died shortly after the family's arrival in Virginia, was buried on 3 April 1651 in Gloucester County, Virginia. During this same year his widow, Anne, applied for a 1,000 acre land grant in her husband's name for the transporting of various members of the Barnett and Corderoy families into the Colonies. This land was located in Northumberland County, Virginia. In 1652 and 1653, Anne also applied for land grants of 700 and 900 acres, respectively, which were situated within Gloucester County, Virginia.
Anne developed the Gloucester County lands into a plantation which she named "Purton," and it was on these lands that the first church in what was to be called Petsoe, or Petsworth, Parish was built. This parish was reputed to have been named after the ancestral parish of the Corderoy family in England. Anne resided at Purton for the remainder of her days, passing away there in 1670.

Sarah Barnett, the daughter of John Barnett and Marran Gibbs, was born in Virginia. She was later married in Orange County, Virginia to a man named John Watts. John, who is said to have been born in about 1722 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, was the son of Thomas and Esther Watts. After their marriage, Sarah and John resided on the plantation he inherited from his father in what was then Culpeper County, Virginia.
After the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, the majority of Sarah and John's children moved to the newly formed State of Kentucky. During the Fall of 1793, their son-in-law, Jesse Vawter, returned to Virginia to help John and Sarah move to Kentucky. They subsequently arrived in Madison County, Kentucky on 18 November 1793, and it is there that they resided for the remainder of their lives.
John died in Madison County in 1796. His will, which was written on 4 February 1796, was admitted for probate in the Madison County Court on 5 July 1796. Although Sarah also died in Madison County, the date of her death has not been determined. Even though Sarah and John are said to have had fourteen children, only eleven children have been identified with any certainty.

80. Agatha Barnett.
Agatha Barnett, the daughter of John Barnett and Marran Gibbs, was born in Virginia. She was latter married, probably in Culpeper County, Virginia, to a man named Julius Christy. Julius, who was a twin child, is thought to have been born in about 1730 near the mouth of the York River in Gloucester County, Virginia. He was the son of Samuel Christy.
On 15 August 1754, Julius and Agatha purchased 100 acres of land from a man named Charles Walker which was situated along the Rapidan River in both Culpeper and Orange Counties. Julius later built a gristmill on this property, which he operated for nearly twenty years. This mill was eventually destroyed by flood, however, and even though Julius had it rebuilt, it was not long afterwards that he and Agatha sold this property and moved with their children to western Virginia.
In about 1776/77, Julius and Agatha settled in that part of Botetourt County, Virginia, that is now within Greenbriar County, West Virginia. They apparently stayed there for approximately nine years, during which time Julius served in the Revolutionary War. In the record of Land Entitlements for Greenbriar County, Virginia under the date of 11 January 1780, Julius received title to a 400 acre tract of land for having settled it prior to 1 January 1778.
On 5 December 1780, Julius Christy was listed as being one of the Greenbriar residents who signed a petition to raise "twenty tunns of hemp off the tithable persons in this county for the purpose of making a market road from this place to Richmond." In about 1785/86, Julius and Agatha moved further west into the State of Kentucky, where they settled in Clark County. Julius died in 1808 in Clark County. His will, which was written on 5 December 1805, was probated on 25 July 1808. Although Agatha also passed away in Kentucky, the date of her death has not been determined.

James was the son of John Gibbs, and was also Anne’s first cousin. Shortly after their marriage, James and Anne moved to that portion of the Ninety-Six District of South Carolina that was later formed into Union County, South Carolina in 1798. James had received a land grant of 640 acres in South Carolina in 1772. James later served in the South Carolina Militia during the Revolutionary War.
