19. At home all day. In the Afternoon Majr. Wagener and Mr. John Barnes with Doctr. Craik came here.

John Barnes, eldest son of Abraham Barnes (d. 1777) of St. Mary’s County, Md., had recently gone bankrupt as a tobacco merchant in Port Tobacco, Md. After settling his firm’s affairs, he moved to western Maryland, where he eventually developed a prosperous plantation called Montpelier (COPELAND description begins Pamela C. Copeland and Richard K.
