John Barnett was born in Stokeprior, Worcestershire, England, 20 October 1858. He was the son of James Barnett and Mary Ann Lacey.
John's father joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) in 1842. When John was seven years old his father decided to come to Utah. Besides John, he also brought a stepdaughter, Sarah Ann Green, leaving the mother and other children to come later.
They set sail from Liverpool April 30, 1866 and crossed the ocean in the sailing vessel "John Bright". They were on the water for 6 weeks and 3 days. They landed at Castle Garden, New York, and come on to Omaha by train. While at Omaha, Sarah Ann, his half-sister, married one of the teamsters, George Summers, who was freighting between Salt Lake City and Omaha. John and his father came on with Henry Chipmans Ox train. A short-distance after they had passed Fort Laramie, Wyoming, the Indians stole a number of their horses and cattle. As they drove on they saw Indians driving cattle and horses toward them. The teamsters overtook the Indians and took back the cattle. The Indians rode away to the hills. A short distance further on they came to a Government train who had been left afoot by the Indians.
