Pike County history tells of Barnes voyage to Mississippi

William Barnes built a cypress dugout in 1798 with his wife and young daughter Margaret. They floated the Cumberland Ohio and Mississippi, camping along banks, facing shoals at Mussel Shoals. An Indian guided Barnes through the worst section, but robbed the dugout. Barnes reached Natchez and Amite County, where Margaret later encountered John Barnes in Pike. Magee's Creek and Ravencroft’s mill stories follow, with local pioneers named and a lodge at Sartinaville near 1866.
