THE BARNARD LINE
BARNARD LINE - FIRST GENERATION
WILLIAM E. BARNARD
Born: 1572 Kingston, Upon Hull, Yorkshire, Eng.
Died:
Father:
Mother:
Marriage: Emily E Nye, b. 1590
Married: 1610 in Kingston, Upon Hull, Yorkshire, Eng.
Children:
1. ROBERT BARNARD b. 1615 in Kingston, Upon Hull, Yorkshire, Eng. (We connect through his daughter, Mary Barnard)
NOTE: Their children wed each other, so the line of descent merged into one.
2. THOMAS BARNARD b. 10 Aug 1617 in Kingston, Upon Hull, Yorkshire, Eng. (We connect through his son, Nathaniel Barnard.)
Thomas Barnard, the first apparently of that surname in America, came to this country about 1650. He settled in Salisbury but appears to have been one of those who founded the new town of Amesbury. He never moved to Nantucket. He was the brother to Robert Barnard, who is named among the first ten purchasers and selected by Robert as his partner. His son, Nathaniel, came to Nantucket and assumed his father's interests. Robert married Joanna Harvey and came to Nantucket in 1663. They had but one son, John, who m. 26 Feb 1668 to Bethiah Folger, daughter of Peter. He and his wife were drowned with Isaac Coleman and an indian on 6 Jun 1669 when returning with Eleazer Folger in a canoe from Martha's Vineyard, where thay had been to purchase some furniture. Robert and Joanna had one daughter, Mary, who m. her cousin Nathaniel, son of Thomas.
Mr. Worth says of Nathaniel Barnard....He was very prominent in Town and Public affairs, having been chosen many times to serve in all the important offices. He was a trader, and court reords show that he was fined in 1709 for selling liquor to the Indians.
All of the name of Barnard in Nantucket descend from Nathaniel and Mary. In his will, which was executed 7 Apr 1718 and probated 11 Ju 1718, Nathaniel divises land in Wesc, received from his father-in-law, Robert Barnard, to "my grandson, Nathaniel Barnard." Nathaniel Sr. was one of the seven men designated under the Dongan Patent to form the first Board of Trustees. His estate inventoried 2460 pounds.
Another book relates the canoe upsetting....John Barnard and his wife, Bethiah Folger Barnard, on 6th of Jun 1669, they were returning from the Vineyard where they had been in pursuit of furniture, in company of Eleazer Folger Senior, Isaac Coleman, son of Thomas, and an Indian, when the canoe upset and all perished except Eleazer Folger. He clung to the boat till in crossing a shoal where he could touch bottom, se succeeded in uprighting it. With a plough-share, which was fastened to it, he managed to free it from water. His sufferings and fatigue had been such that sleep now overcame him, and on waking he found the canoe had drifted on to Norris Island. It was then that he realized how great had been his preservation, and that he alone was left to tell the story of the sufferings through which he and his unfortunate companions had passed.
