'Sq’ire Albert Barnett aided in erecting a carding and fulling mill with Col. Avery, and carried it on afterwards; coming to
Clayville about that time, where he has ever since resided,—now in his 89th ye ar,—being prominently identified with the growth and
prosperity of the town. He came to Paris with his father, James Barnett, a revolutionary soldier who served in the commissary
department through the war, and who came from Connecticut to Dutchess county, NY, and from thence to Paris, near the line of
Bridgewater, in 1794. A brother—William Barnett—served in the war of 1812 as his (Albert's)’substitute. He has ever since resided
in the town, with the exception of four years residence in Delaware county, during which he was made a Mason there, (in 1816,) and
is now an honorary member of Sauquoit Lodge, No. 150, F. & A. M. He has filled many offices of trust in the town, and during the
greater part of his active life, has filled the office of Justice of the Peace. He preserves his age remarkably by active exercise as a
"sp“rtsman," b”ing an accomplished trout fisherman and skillful fox hunter, notwithstanding his advanced age, and in trolling for
pickerel, none of the "bo“s" c”n excel him—rowing his own boat. Among other property which he acquired, was the Sweeting
sawmill, which he sold to Bacon & Collis, who were the second merchants at Clayville, and who commenced the erection thereon of
a woolen factory, but before its completion sold it to Frederick Hollister, in 1842, who completed the erection of the present factory
thereon. His son, Mills Barnett, was an active business man in town tor many years, and afterwards removed to Phelps, Ontario
county, NY, and is but recently deceased. His surviving son, William H. Barnett, has always resided at Clayville, an active business
man, postmaster for many years, and also Justice of the Peace.
