William’s Great Grandparents were: George William & Rhoda (unknown) Barnes. George was born in Connecticut (unknown location) in 1789. Rhoda born in Massachusetts in 1791, both her maiden name and location of birth are yet unknown to us. They were married in abt. 1814 in Virgil, Cortland, NY. Their son (William Edwin’s Grandfather) William George Barnes was born September 1st, 1815; d. Jan 21st, 1898. George and Rhoda also appear to have had one (1) daughter, - Elizabeth, born in 1825, who married Andrew Jachson ‘Jack’ Colegrove* in abt. 1840. Elizabeth and Andrew removed to Farmington, Tioga PA, next to Elizabeth’s brother’s Township in Middlebury, Tioga, PA, and had seven children there: Delphina, b. Apr. 10, 1849, m. Sawyer of MI, 6 children; Dennis Wilbur, b. abt. 1851, of Tioga, PA; Emory J., b. abt. 1853, of Orono, Osceola Co., MI; Leonora Orcela, b. Jul 1, 1857, m.

Sources: Family Bible records – Kenneth Gee and Ancestor.com records for marriage.* Spelling of Andrew’s name is as I found it.
William’s Grandparents were:
Paternal: William George and Philena C. Starkey Barnes. William
G. removed to Hammond, Middlebury Township, Tioga Co., PA. and spent his
remaining life farming there. Philena (also spelled in numerous ways –
Philania, Phiolena, Philinney, Phiolania, etc.)
Maternal: Philena C. Starkey Barnes, the daughter of William and Mary
E. (Benjamin) Starkey, who removed from NY to Middlebury Township, Tioga
Co., PA when William was in his 50’s. Philena’s siblings were: Harriet
m. Luther Washburn; Clarissa m. Allen Daggett of Southport, NY; Samuel

Palmer – resided in Middlebury, PA. Source: Joyce M. Tice Tri-Counties

William G. and Philena had nine children, six of whom lived to adulthood – Harriet Higley; maybe an Elliot, but probably Eliab (misspelled) m. Estella Viola Dailey; Allen Dexter m. Lucy Patterson; Mary; Emma Glendora m. William Ryan; Eleazer Edward (aka Edward Eleazer or E.E.) m. Carolyn ‘Carrie’ Baker. Kenneth Gee’s Bible record indicates one of the deceased children was named Hamel.
William’s Parents were:
Eliab M and Estella Viola Dailey(misspelled Daley sometimes) Barnes.
Eliab and Estella’s children were born in Hammond, PA, but the family eventually
moved to Southern Tier, NY. (i.e. 1910 Federal Census, Big Flats, Chemung
Co., NY Eliab, Estella, Eva May & Henry J.) Their children were:
William Edwin m. L. Elizabeth Axtell Barnes; Oliver Lewis m. Loretta (unknown)
of Bath, NY; Eva May m. Harry Smith; and Henry J. m. Hazel Desalt Barnes.
The 1910 Census indicates that Eliab and Estella had been married for
25 years (m. abt. 1885), - and that Eliab had married once before this
union. Family rumor is that twins were born of that first marriage,
though no records have been found yet.
Estella Viola Daily was the daughter of O. E. (Orlando E.) and Fanny
J. (unknown) Dailey of Middlebury, Tioga, PA (1880 Census); Farmington,
Tioga Co., PA (1910 Census). Fannie gave birth to 10 children, seven of
whom lived to adulthood. Orlando is listed as having been born in Pennsylvania
(abt. 1828); whereas Fannie is listed as born in New York abt. 1839. They
had been married for 47 years in 1910. Their children were:
Edith J. b. abt. 1862; Viola E. (Estella Viola) b. abt. 1864; Orlando E.
b. abt 1866; Olive M. b. abt. 1869; Nellie M. b. abt. 1872; Mary H. b.
