The earliest ancestor that I have for the Barnhills of Henry/Shelby/Daviess counties, KY is Robert Gabriel Barnhill (b. ca 1626) in Scotland. His son, John Barnhill, came to America from Ireland, and supposedly was the first Barnhill immigrant to come to this country. Apparently, he had to leave Ireland after publishing some articles on his printing press that were not favorably received by the King. This John Barnhill settled in PA, and some of his descendants (your ancestors), found their way to Orange County, NC. Indeed, some of the Boones also moved from PA to Orange/Guilford county, NC before relocating to KY. Most likely, the families were acquainted before moving to KY.

The John (Johne) Barnhill mentioned here is my ancestor. Johne came to america about 1695. He landed at Baltimore, lived in Delaware for a while, then moved to Virginia. From there in migrated to Pitt Co. NC. About 1800 part of the family moved to New Hanover Co. NC. The part of New Hanover Co. they lived in is now Pender County.
The Barnhills of Pa. were his Nephews.
At least that's what the info I have claims.
You can find Johne and his sons listed in the Pitt county tax rolls of 1762.
Johne's son David married a Margaret Fleming. David and Margaret had a son named John who had a son named Alexander. Alexander was born about 1794. This is my line.
