A '~.

The BARNARD PA1.{ILY,

01" ANDOVER.

Robert (1) B~Dnard and his wife, Joan- said to be Joan Harvey­

had a home1ot adjoining Simon Bradstreet's, in North Parish. He was one of

the original ten Church members here, and came with the others, from New­

bury. Frank King Barnard, historian, thought that Robert came to Andover

in 1644 and served in the Indian War during a raid in 1659- about which

I have no record.

Robert had a brother Thomas (1) of Newbury who had a share in

the new settlement at Nantucket where he was one of the ten original pro­

prietors. As each of the ten was privileged to vote one new member, Thos.

voted his brother Robert of Andover, so in 1663 he- Robert- and his

family left our settlement for the one on the island.

In June, 1667, Robert (1) Barnard and Wife, Joan, of Nantucket,

sold to Simon Bradstreet, for ~ 120, ~ll the land they owned in Andover,

including that which they bought from Joseph Wright,- 12:60,Salem deeds.

'rhomas remained in Newbury, where he died, and Robert (1) stayed on

at ~antuckeh until his death in 1682. Joan died in 1705.

The children of Robert (1) and wife Joan, were :-

John (2), who went to ~antucket with his father. tie was b. in Salisbury,

'an. 2,1642 • He m. in 1668, Bethia Folger, daughter of Peter

Folger of Nantucket. Both were drowned in June 1669, in Boston

harbor while journeying north in a boat.

Hannah (2) b. here in the woods of Andover, about 1644-5; m. June 13,

1662, John (2) Stevens, son of John (1) and Elizabeth; she d.

1675. Children were John(3);Nathanl3); and Joshua(3). Queer

that nobody recalls Joann- but Hannah had no girls. Later in

the line) Joanna,was used by Ebenezer(3), but it was a Sprague

name.

-~] 1 The BAR~ARD FAMILY

Children of Robert{l) Barnard and wife, Joan ( cont.):-here 1666 ,/ '

Mary (2), b.J1647; m./Nathaniel (2) Barnard. son of her uncle Thomas(l)

ot Salisbury; she lived in Nantucket; had a daughter Mary, (3)

b. Feb.24, 1667; (doubtless others in ~antucket records~

Stephen (2), b. in Andover, 1649; ( I had 1648) ; not recorded; he was

i

15 when his family lett for lantucket; evidently was the only

male heir, and returned to Andover determined to take possess­

ion of Division lamd. He claimed rights which Robert (1) insist­

ed were not included in the sale to Bradstreet.(These rights

were contested as late as 1714 by the Barnards, who were perser­

vering, and Robert (3) got them. I have never seen the case,

but it was for 4 acres, worth ~ 8,- and is on record somewhere •

. The 4 acres were clearly sold to George Abbott for ~ before

Robe~t (1) left Andover, and the other land was sold in 1679 to

Bradstreet, after Barnards had made their home in ~antucket.

It Was a case of diamond cut diamond. Bradstreet wished to buy

out the non-residents and control the Division Lots and hoped

he had gotten rid of Robert Barnard. R.King Barnard, said that

Robert (1) had a lawsuit on when he left and that Robert(3) re-

vived it as adm. of the estate of his grandfather, dec~formerly

of Andover.) Stephen probably took up land for himself. tie m.

Rebecca Howe; she ,d. ~1725; he d. at 74, in 1722.

Martha (2), b. here before 1658( I feel sure); m. William nogers ot

Martha's Vineyard.

Sarah (2) b. very likely, 1658 ; she m. 1677, James (2) Skiffe of Martha~

Vineyard, son of Jas.(l) Skiffe and w. ~arah Reaves.-Nantucket Deeds,~arch 10, 1677: James Sklffe to espoused wite, ~rah tlarnard- he of Tisbury-she of Sherborn- a marriage contract.

In 1679 they convey the estate of Robert(l) Barnard, dec.,­and one tract was given because they promise to maintain the widow, Joan.

'. The BAR~ARD FAMILY -12-

FACTS ABOUT ROSEBT(l) BARNARD and COURT PAPERS.

Robert(l) ~rnardand wife Joan are mentioned but onoe on the

Town Reoords, then- as paraats of Mary, b. 1657. The Hanna kr-

nard who married John (2) Stevens in 1662(s.1675) was probably their

daughter, as Hanna of Salisbury, daughter of THOMAS, married tlenj.

Stevens, and in 1697, as widow of this Salisbury resident,signs

the receipt for money paid her by her youngest brother,John, who adm.

his deoeased mother's estate" in the reign of our 80verign Lord

William III."

The next paper concerning our Robert, who was one of the first

ten church members in Andover, is his deed to Simon Bradstreet in

June, 1667:- Robert and Joan, his wife, convey their land for

120 );,.

from Savage's VOlume, I learn that the Nantucket folks claim

Nathaniel ot Salisbury, son of Thomas, as ancestor of all the Barn­

ards down thereJ that he came there, with his uncle Robert, in 1650,

from .b!ngland.

Thomas Barnard of ~a1isbury had a son ~athaniel who was of

~antucket when the 1697 papers were signed. tie is said to have marr­

ied his cousin- the daughter of his uncle Robert- probably the Mary

or Andover. He died there shortly after the death of his wite,in

1718.

Savage goes on to say that Robert from l:)alisbury, brother of

aforesaid Thomas, had only one son, John, b. 1642, and that Robert

moved to Nantucket 1663 and died there 1682, his Widow, Joan, lIving

until 1705. He says also that son John married Hethia Folger,daugh­

ter of Peter, Feb. 1669, and both were drowned on a trip to Boston,

the following June~

~ ~e BARNARD FAJ.!lLY -13-

Savage does not seem to connect his Robert with our man at all.

It is very plain that Robert visited Nantucket in 1650 with a

nephew, Nathaniel. John, in 1663, when he was 21, took his parents

to Nantucket. The three children, born in Andover, Hanna,Stephen

and Mary, were not credited to Robert in the Salisbury records,

where he lived before Cochlchewick was started.

When, through the death of John, Robert·s hopes on his

rights to return to Andover, fail, he sends his son Stephen within

the year. Stephen in 1671 marries gebecca Howe,probab1y a resident

of the Methuen hill near the Haverhill border, held so long by the

Howes.

Robert,Sr.,held land rights until 1714, and trese fell to

his grandson, Robert, to settle. The litigation in the Robert Barn­

ard Proprietors' Rights, is too long a story to take up here- but

4 acres worth ~ remained to old Robert, who probably spent his

last days with his daughter Mary and nephew Nathaniel.

The children of Stephen (2) and those of Mary ~2}, wife of

John Stevens are his descendants in old Andover. I will leave

wiser heads to connect Francis Barnard's t'

family of badley,lS60

with this line. Most likely Francis was closely connected with John

tlarnard of Watertown, as their children both select wives from the

Goffe family of Cambridge. Francis I son", l'homas, graduatecl from Cam­

bridge with the class of 1679 and went to Andover to help the rtev. Dane,

Francis Dane, in 1682. .t1e~B nearly 70 years old.

Young Thomas Barnard was to have 50~ a year, while Mr. Dane

preached- one fourth of the amount only, in silver-- wheat and corn

firewood and the use of the parsonage, making up the ,ota1. He was

to have 80 ~ when Mr. Vane's work was over. That may have ceased

in 1686 when Elizabeth Price came up to be his helpmate.

The BARNARD FAMILY -14-

The young couple then started to eatch up with Stephen l2), ot

Robert(l~'s line, who in 15 years, had gotten back some ot the old es~

tate which had passed into the hands ot"Wa1ter Wright and Joseph Mar-(3 )

b1e, near Capb.Christopher Osgood and 'ames/Simard's estate", as

it is described in 1714, a tew years betore Stephen's death, when his

sons,Robert,John and Steohen(3), pass a parcel about among them •• A

tew months later when Joseph Wright emigrates to Conn., he parts, tor

120 ~ with the land his tather bought trom Joseph Marble,-to the

Barnard heirs. Whether or not it was part of Robert(l)·s original hold.

ing, the tamily of Stephen l2) had a fair inheritanee up on the old

Indian tr.il along the Frye Village Ridge, through from the Frye School

House over to the fish-way at Bodwellis Ferry, held by a Barnard as

late as 1838. ( Uet off the car at Tompklns,take the road just North

of the Andover line and walk West to the old road, then back south to/;

th~ast cross-~ay near Uona1d's.)

Stephen's daughter, .tt.a.nna l3)f married 1!ler playmate,Joseph Marble,

at 17. Robert l3) took tor a wite, neighbor Christopher Osgoodls d~gh­

ter,Rebecca. Stephen(3) married Hanna Bixby, of another Merrimac fam­

ily,while James with his wife Abigail, form another plantation, as do

John and his Naomi-possibly a sister o~ Uorothy Hoyt who married John

Lovejoy about the same time.

The hOle far.m went in John(3) IS line. He outlived his son,

dying at 82, in 1756. Amy, or Naomi, lived on until 1762, until she was

90. JOhn(3)'ls last words:-"This husbandman, advanced in years,even to

old age ot a iPerfect mind and memory, thanks be to God,tI-leaves all to

his beloved iaomi; to Johnls chl1dren,(u5 she added to all I gave John

for his sister Al.c~, the Widow, and I imagine he had a shrewd man to deal

with in young Jobn{p).

The ancient aarnard homestead at the turn of the road in Frye Vill­

age fell to John, w~th the house to the Nort~ and barn across the way;

woodland, 60 acres ~t Wolfpit, worth 100 ~; his father1s stock and the

best coat, with mucp pine boards and lumber- the only hint that he was

possibly a carpente~.

Thomas Holt Ical1s on widow Ruth's men to help, and they divide

the estate into s~ctions.Some is sold for necessary cash to pay smal~

debts-Ueorge Abbot~ and Samuel Phillips among the creditors. Dr. Noyes and

Dr. Abbott have pr~tty good bills against the estate. John Crow, who asks for 19 sh., is pro~ably a hired man or forced servant.
