  A genealogy has some details to fill in WIlliam's famliy, but interestingly, has no information on his parents.  Thsi clarifies his middle name.  But look at the birth date.  Ths cannot be right, since he is enumerated in the 1970 census as 1 year old.  Also this is a different William Barnett, because he was born in Greenville, while our William wasborn in Spartanburg, like his parents.  So this middle name maybe wrong for our William after all.
