Notes |
- There is no real proof to the parentage of Thomas and Robert. Some think it was William and Emily (Nye) Barnard of Yorkshire Co., England. One of the ladies doing Barnard research says she had research done on the Wiltshire Barnards, but there was no way to tie them into the young men who emigrated to the colonies. She says a stronger case is made that the parents were Thomas and Ann (Cooke) Barnard of Suffolk Co.,England. Patricia Burns has done extensive research, and this line seems to be the most valid one.
The parentage of Robert of Andover and Thomas Barnard of Amesbury has not been proven. There have been several "genealogies" about the family that state their parentage, but at this time "NONE" of them have proven out. Research in England is still continuing.
Here are two books that might be helpful:
Nantucket Landfall- Author: Dorothy C.A. Blanchard, Dodd, Mead & Company, New York. 1956 A subtitle is " The story of an island's sea change from whaling port to summer resort."
"The Early Settlers of Nantucket" by Lydia S. Hinchman, which still is in print.
Thomas Barnard was born on August 10, 1617, possibly in Kingston, England. His parents may have been John Bernard and Phebe Whiting.(This information taken from a LDS pedigree and is undocumented).
Thomas married Eleanor Morse around 1640 in Salisbury, Mass.Thomas must have landed in New England sometime prior to this wedding date.
Thomas was a grand juror in Salisbury on 4/11/1665. Indians killed Thomas Barnard in 1677.
