  Ephraim died 16 Jan 1718/9, when he and his step‑son John BARBER went into the hills to hunt for horses that got loose, and they both perished in the deep snow and cold. In his will John Barber supposedly left his entire estate to his wife, with power to dispose of same in the best interest of herself and children. However there must have been something fishy about the will, because the Probate Court record in 1712 states “the pretended will of John Barber, deceased, was exhibited in court, and was disallowed and disapproved.”  [~ 1909 Barber Gen; Barbour Index; CT church rec; Corresp:Carol McCarthy; CT Hist Soc:LBBarbour Manuscript; Stiles ~]

  The Burnham and Loomis Genealogies both say that this Mary BARBER was the daughter of Nathaniel BARBER, but the will of Nathaniel (#15) shows that his daughter was Mary (BARBER) BURNHAM, and thus the Drake Genealogy is correct that Joseph is the father of Mary BARBER (DRAKE).  [~ CT Hist Soc:Drake Gen ~]
