Further research has revealed more information from this article:
History of Grant County, John B. Conrad, Editor
Published by the Grant County Historical Society,
Williamstown, Kentucky. Article by H. L. Ogden, 1992.

Some of the story is familiar to me as told by my Grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle. My grandfather related to me the story of the Thompson family dividing up land as each of his many sons and daughters married until he was surrounded by his family's homes. My grandfather was born in Hinton, KY and walked along the railroad tracks with his mother, Maude Belle Thompson to visit his Thompson grandparents across the county line.

NSDAR Ancestor Number:
The DAR Record Copy for NSDAR member number 732521 appears to be well documented and includes a good list of referenced sources.

* On the 1782 tax list, appears John Barnes with another named in the household shown as Jonathan. If this is John Barnes Jr., he would have recently returned home from his service in the Revolution (Consecutive 2 year and 3 year terms beginning in 1776).

John Milly 27 Nov 1784Culpeper County, Virginia. Milly about 1768; about 1850Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Military Pension: 1835-1850, Harrison County, Kentucky; Pensioner Records from 1835-1850.

Notes:

Name:
Her name was probably Amelia or less likely, Emilie for which, Milly, was a common nickname.

Military Pension:
During part of this time period, Milly's husband, John Barnes, was still living (up until 1840). For Milly, this record seems to go through March of 1846 and then stops but does not indicate whether she had passed away.

Notes:

Married:
The marriage of John Barnes and Milly was presided over by the Reverend George Thompson in Culpeper County, Virginia. Milly stated this in her Widow's pension as well as the year of marriage being 1782 or 1783.

John Agnes Hawkins, Unsubstantiated Surname (See Notes) about 1756Prince William County, Virginia. Agnes about 1738 Prince William County, Virginia; about 1772Fauquier County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
In the Last Will and Testament of John Barnes, he divides his estate between his wife, children and "a daughter of his wife." The surname, Hawkins, may be a name from a previous marriage for Agnes and one of the daughters here listed with the family of John and Agnes may be from this previous marriage.
