The Barnes family is one of the main families of the American prime time soap opera Dallas and its 2012 sequel. The feud between the Barnes family and their rival Ewing family forms much of the core plot-line of the series.
In 1954, when Pamela Barnes was less than a year old, Digger Barnes's wife, Rebecca, fled and was presumed dead. In 1981, she was tracked down by Pam's private investigator, as Rebecca Wentworth, wife of rich businessman Herbert Wentworth, with whom she had a biological daughter, Katherine Wentworth. Soon after Herbert died, and Rebecca reconciled with her children Cliff and Pam, Rebecca introduced them to their half-sister, Katherine. In turn of events, Rebecca's plane crashed in 1983 ("Crash of '83") and she died in Dallas Memorial. In her will, she left her huge Wentworth fortune to her children Cliff, Pam and Katherine. Katherine fled the country to Europe in 1984 after being wanted for attempted murder. In 1987, Pamela left Dallas after her car accident making her son Christopher heir of her Barnes-Wentworth Oil share, along with Cliff.
Barnes-Wentworth Oil, formerly Wade Luce Oil, is a fictional oil company from the television series Dallas.
In 1982, Rebecca Wentworth bought the Wade Luce Oil company from retiring oilman Wade Luce in an effort to help her son, Cliff Barnes fight J.R. Ewing and Ewing Oil. Rebecca was killed in a plane crash in 1983. She split up the company between Cliff, Pam, and Katherine according to continuation. When Katherine died, she gave her shares to Cliff.
Cliff hired Sly Lovegreen to spy at Ewing Oil as J.R.'s secretary. She fed him information on pending deals at Ewing Oil, and Cliff managed to pull several profitable deals out from under him. J.R. eventually discovered the plot and turned the tables on Cliff feeding him useless information and nearly bankrupting Barnes-Wentworth.
