Do you happen to know what all of those numbers mean on the right side of those censuses
from that time period?
I'm supposed to be from the line of Thomas and the theory is that his dad is John. But
in 1790 Thomas isn't in the census, and suddenly in 1800 he's there with his wife
Elizabeth Palmer Barnes. So it sounds more like he immigrated inbetween the two years and
grabbed Elizabeth from the COnnecticut stock, as she's up there in the 1790 census as
far as I've gathered.

also has Barnes John and Thomas with the same amount of land
Do a search
You would then likely need to get land records which should show the "history of the
land" .
