ALLEN BARNETT was born June 15, 1811, in Shelby County, Ky.  His father,
James Barnett, was a well-to-do farmer of Fluvanna County, Va., came to
Kentucky in 1810, and settled in Shelby County.  He married Joanna
Shepperd, of Virginia.  James was a son of John Barnett, who came from
England and settled in Virginia, where he lived until his death, which
occurred in 1876.  Allen Barnett is one of the leading farmers of Shelby
County and owns 450 acres of land in the county.  He has been twice
married, first, September 10, 1840, to Elizabeth Newton, daughter of
Samuel and Drucilla (Agey) Newton, of Virginia.  This union was blessed
with three children: William, Sallie and Mildred.  His second marriage
occurred September 10, 1850, with Louisa Nash, daughter of Harmon and
Sarah (Gates) Nash of this county.  Five children were born to this second
marriage: Sibbie, James, Mollie, Edgar and Atha.  Mr. Barnett is a member
of the Baptist Church.  In December, 1886, he unfortunately broke one of
his limbs, from the effect of which he has never fully recovered.
