“From this house went forth seven sons to fight in the American Revolution.” This sign remained on the wall of the Francis and Lucretia Barnard house, one of the oldest homes in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Dick Clark is one of Francis and Lucretia Barnard’s descendants. When I learned that from my cousin last night, I took a look at Dick Clark’s genealogy, and discovered he too descends from my Francis and Lucretia Barnard! I knew about the Seven Sons, so searched around the Web for photos of the house. I found a new cousin, Amy Po (Amy Pollien) who grew up very close to the Barnard house. First, let’s remind you who Dick Clark is, then we’ll share some of Amy’s memories, and close out with Mark Twain.
On your next trip to England, you might want to visit the Strong Cottage in Chardstock!
 Jarvis Strong trip 2001 Every year there seems to be one to three people, groups, or families that are visiting England and would like to visit the Chardstock Strong Cottage. This cottage was built in the late 1500s, likely for Strongs who later moved to Chard (about 4 miles away).
