Siah Barnett was born around 1832-1835 in Alabama. He was the son of Thomas Barnett and Hannah "Sullivan". Siah's mother Hannah was originally a slave of the Indian Sullivans who sold her to Tom Barnett. Tom Barnett also had many children by an Indian wife: Daniel, Timothy, Washington, Louvina, Nancy, Warnoske, Betsy, Owassa.

These Barnetts would have been part of the Indian Removal to Oklahoma in the mid 1830s. The Barnett family originally lived near Muskogee. By the mid 1850 Siah Barnett was the husband of Mary Beams. Mary was part of the mulatto-Choctaw Beams family that escaped Mississippi for Indian Territory.

During the Civil War he was part of the group that moved north to Kansas to escape the war. After the Civil War they moved to the Bryant area in Okmulgee county. Siah and Mary lived near the Barnett-Fisher cemetery.

Siah's younger brother Jim Barnett (b.1848) owned (or ran) a store in Bryant. Siah's sister Lizzie (b. 1836) was the wife of Josiah Absury.
