Frances Barnett was born to "free parents" who had lived in the same Virginia County for three census periods before moving to Ohio. She died in Washington County, Ohio.

The following is the wording of Frances' certificate:

"State of Ohio No. 220 Harriet Ann Frances Barnett's Certificate of Freedom, Virginia, Augusta County Court Clerks Office to Wit: Registered in this office by virtue of an order of the County Court of Augusta, entered on the 25th day of August 1845.
