I have not been able to find our Jesse Barnett in the 1850 census. But along the way I found another set of Barnetts in Hardin County, Tennessee. One of them is Jesse, also born in 1795. I have not figured out where this Jessee and his children fit into the Barnett lineage.

In 1860 Jesse is surrounded by several sons. The only person in his household is his daughter Apsely J, whom some genealogies name Apsoly Jan.

Genealogies report additional children I have not found in the census. No doubt some of these entries are hiding in the misplaced 1850 census for Jesse and his family. A son Elijah born in about 1824, Richard, of similar date, Luther Alfred born about 1828, Walker born about 1832 and Alvira born about 1836.
In 1870, I found an agricultural schedule for the census that also listed Jesse.

Jesse died in 1872. In the 1880 census, son John is a widower living next door to Cicero (who is reported as only 40 years old, though he was 35 in 1870), with older brother Thomas in the household of John, along with sister Jane and John's daughter Sarah.
