Used with permission.  Francis Barnard Jr. House Francis Barnard Jr. (1741-1828), a veteran of the Revolutionary War, is the great-grandson of Joseph Barnard and Sarah Strong. Francis Barnard Jr.’s house, 68 Adams Road, Bloomfield, was built ca. 1770, and, as of 1998, appears to be in good condition and occupied. “Francis Barnard…was born within the present limits of Bloomfield, Conn., here passed his life in farming, and died about 1830. He was thrice married, (first) to Elizabeth Phelps, (second) to Chloe Mills, and (third) to Diodema Brown…”—Commemorative Biographical Record of Hartford County, Connecticut, p. 1308.

Barnard, Fredonia, NY 14063 Among some of the foremost names in American firearm manufacturing are Browning, Colt, Marlin, Remington, Savage, Smith & Wesson, and Winchester. The founders of at least two of these firms are blood relatives of descendants of Elder John Strong and Abigail Ford through Abigail’s mother, Elizabeth Chard. Eliphalet Remington, Jr. (1793-1861) descended from Elizabeth Chard and her first husband, Aaron Cooke, and Samuel Colt (1814-1862) descended from Elizabeth and her second husband, Thomas Ford. Both were identified as notable kin in an article published by the SFAA Newsletter in October 2000. Their lines of ascent are given in Gary Boyd Roberts’ “The New England Ancestry of H.R.H. The Princess of Wales” (reproduced in Genealogies of Connecticut Families, Vol. III, on Family Tree Maker CD #179 Family History: Connecticut Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s). John Mahlon Marlin (1836-1901), founder, president and treasurer of The Marlin Firearms Co., of New Haven, CT is now identified as the husband of a 5th great granddaughter of Elder John Strong, making him a notable spouse of kin. Marlin married Martha Susan Moore8 (Susan A. Barnard7 + Henry Bacon Moore; Samuel Barnard6 + Keziah Thrall; Samuel Barnard5 + Roxana Barnard [first cousin]; Francis Barnard4 + Lucretia Pinney; Joseph Barnard Jr.3 + Abigail Griswold; Joseph Barnard Sr.+ Sarah Strong2; Elder John Strong1 + Abigail Ford). John Mahlon Marlin was born 6 May 1836 at Suffield, Hartford Co., CT, son of Mahlon and Jennette (Bradford) Marlin. He married Martha Susan Moore on 27 May 1862 in the Rainbow section of Windsor, CT, and ultimately died 1 July 1901 at New Haven, CT. Two sons, Mahlon Henry, born 23 July 1864, and John Howard, born 21 Sept. 1876, lived to maturity. A third son, Burton Lewis, born 14 May 1867, died 12 April 1869, and daughter Jennette Bradford, born 14 May 1867, died 12 April 1869, per Moore, Horace L., 1903, Andrew Moore of Poquonock and Windsor, Conn., and His Descendants: Journal Publishing Co., Lawrence, KS, p. 176.

Service in the Revolutionary War Francis Barnard House Historical Marker The house of Lt. Francis Barnard, 174 Duncaster Road, built 1760, is one of the historic houses listed (p. 264) in The Wintonbury Historical Society, 1983, From Wintonbury To Bloomfield: Wintonbury Historical Society, Bloomfield, CT. “A sign on the front of the house for many years read: ‘From this house went forth seven sons to fight in the American Revolution.’” A photograph of the sign, with all letters in capitals, is given on p. 47 of that publication. The evidence and citations for service in the Revolutionary War by the seven sons of Francis are treated collectively here. The two principal sources are Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution, Hartford, CT, 1889, and Simsbury Soldiers in the War of the Revolution, Abigail Phelps Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Simsbury, CT, 1982. Aaron“1775: At LEX. Alarm.” CMWR, p. 21, per Simsbury Soldiers in the War of the Revolution, p. 40 Three days service. Included in the “List of the Men who marched from the Connecticut Towns ‘for the Relief of Boston in the Lexington Alarm,’ April, 1775”—per CMWR, p. 21. Continue reading Seven Barnard Brothers: Revolutionary War Service Here is the obituary, photo, and headstone of Dr. Walther M. Barnard, author of many of our “Notable Kin” articles: Dr Walther M. Barnard (1937-2010) at Find A Grave  Rosanah Wife of George A. Barnard The headstone says, Rosanah Wife of George A. Barnard. Who would know she was married at 16, mother at 17, widow at 18? Years later but still in her early 20s she became the wife of George Allen Barnard, and together they became my great-great-great grandparents. How did she feel, in barely-settled Kittanning, widow and mother at only 18? Her mother had died, and her step-mother was barely older than she. I wonder if she saw little but a hopeless life before her. She lived 81 years, and her son lived to be 98. I like how her memorial dominates the skyline at Glade Run Presbyterian Church cemetery, Dayton, Armstrong County Pennsylvania. 7. George Allen Barnard (1809-1885) was the son of George Barnard and Sally Higley. Rosanah Johnston (1814-1896) was the daughter of David R. Johnston and Isabella Robinson. 6. George Barnard (1782-1862) was the son of Francis Barnard Jr. and Chloe Mills. 5. Francis Barnard Jr. (1741-1828) was the son of Francis Barnard Sr. and Lucretia Pinney. 4. Francis Barnard Sr. (1719-1789) was the son of Joseph Barnard Jr. and Abigail Griswold. 3. Joseph Barnard Jr. (1681-1736) was the son of Joseph Barnard Sr. and Sarah Strong. 2. Joseph Barnard Sr. (ca. 1650-1695) was the son of Francis Barnard and Hannah Meruell. Sarah Strong (1655/56-1732/33) was the daughter of Elder John Strong and Abigail Ford. 1. Francis Barnard (ca. 1617-1697/98). Hannah Meruell (ca. 1627-ca. 1675). Elder John Strong (1605-1699). Abigail Ford (1608-1688).  Children of Joseph and Sarah Strong Barnard Click on either image to see it full size. Both images were taken from the Deerfield Vital Records collections at the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison, Wisconsin. The two records were from different books. Each of the books was sorted differently from the other. However, it appears clear that both were copied from the same original “Old Book” of Vital Records for Deerfield, Massachusetts. Both had their own page numbering systems, but both also label this entry as “Page 2.” Joseph Barnard was the first Town Clerk of Deerfield. It appears that the original Old Book had one page allocated to each family. When a new family had their first child, they got listed on the next empty page of the Old Book. Since Joseph probably created the book, he naturally started the book with his own family on page 2. The first image reads: Continue reading Alternate copies of Sarah Strong Barnard’s Birth Records |
