Captain John Barnes and George Washington?

Keep in mind that there were many John Barnes's and many Captain John Barnes too.  But, did our Captain John Barnes (see Jack's history of John Barnes in this blog) meet George Washington?  Jack Leddy would have been thrilled if this were true.  An account of the history of Trenton New Jersey in 1776-7 says "Captain John Barnes lived in the old stone house, torn down lately, just below Washington Market.  General Washington spent the night of Dec. 29, 1776, in this dwelling."  The account is found in

Also, in the same document:   "Thomas, Mary and Sarah Barnes lived on the ground now occupied by the Third Presbyterian Church.  Mr. Barnes was a druggist, and his advertisement of salves, ointments, &c., appears in Isaac Collins’ Trenton Gazette."
