     Additional information: LifeSketch:The online book at NEHGS "Great Migration, A-B": "JOHN BARNARD ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1634 on the Elizabeth FIRST RESIDENCE, Watertown CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to Watertown church prior to 3 September 1634 implied by freemanship. FREEMAN: 3 September 1634 (as "John Bernard," fourth in a sequence of eleven Watertown men) [MBCR 1:369]. OFFICES: Watertown selectman, 28 November 1643 [WaTR 9]. ESTATE: ...On 30 November 1647, "whereas there is a difference between Joseph Tayntor and widow Barnad [sic] about a piece of land, lying at the end of widow Barnad’s swamp behind Joseph Tayntor’s house (he purchased of old Peirce), it is determined at present, that the land is the Town’s" [WaTR 1:11]. On 31 August 1666, "Edmund Bloy [i.e., Blois] complaining that widow Barnad had taken in the town land & the highway, lying between her house & Abraham Browne’s ,,, goodman Tayntor was appointed to warn widow Barnad to appear at the next meeting of the selectmen to answer the complaint" [WaTR 1:87]. On 27 September 1666, "Widow Barnad appearing & upon the hearing of the case respecting the complaint brought against her ... as also considering the grants in the Town Book, the selectmen saw cause to view the land & the highway, & accordingly did, & upon the place determined that the land was granted to Mr. Tho(mas] Cartor & the highway to run as it is now fenced" (WaTR 1:88]. On 19 December 1673, "Widow Barnad coming to us the selectmen to help her to a highway to a parcel of land lying against the river which she saith she or her husband bought of one Jacob, we not finding that this land was any of the town grants given out to their inhabitants we answer her that we can do nothing in it till she makes it appear that it was granted to Jacob as his proportion in some of the divisions of land given out by the town to her inhabitants" [WaTR 1:118]. The inventory of the estate of "Pheby Barnard of Watertowne," taken 5 October 1685, totalled £293 16s. 8d, of which £220 l0s. was real estate: "the dwelling house, barn, orchard and about 20 acres of land adjoining, ‘£110; "60 acres of dividend land," £30; "30 acres of land in lieu of township," £31 10s.; "20 acres of land upon the great plain which is doubtful as yet," unvalued; "about 4 acres of swampland lying near Chester’s Brook," £12; 7 acres of remote meadow," £7; and "about 256 acres of farm land," £30 [MPR Case #1080]... MARRIAGE: By about 1632 Phebe Whiting, daughter of Anthony and Anne (Sherman) Whiting of Dedham, Essex. She died at Watertown 1 August 1685 [WaVR 57]. CHILDREN: i JOHN, b. about 1632 (aged two in 1634 [Hotten 282]); m. 15 November 1654 Sarah Fleming [WaVR 17], daughter of John Fleming [Bond 225]. ii Samuel, b. about 1633 (aged one in 1634 [Hotten 282]); "Sam[ue]ll Barnard" took the oath of fidelity at Watertown in 1652 [NEHGR 3:401]; d. Watertown 8 September 1683 [WaVR 54]. The "inventory of the estate of Sam[ue]ll Bernard deceased at Watertowne," undated but entered between other estates which were brought into court on 6 October 1685, consisted of "His part in John Bernard’s estate, about a 7th or 8th part," not valued, "three acres of meadow in Watertowne," not valued, and "four pounds due by bill from Tho[mas] Loverun" (MPR 6:259 (does not include the first item), Case #1086]. iii HANNAH, b. say 1635; in. Cambridge 25 June 1656 Samuel Goffe. iv MARY, b. Watertown 7 November 1639 [WaVR 7]; m. Cambridge 16 June 1662 William Barrett. v JOSEPH, b. Watertown 12 November 1642 [WaVR 10]; apparently died unmarried by 1708, when three of his siblings sold his land in Kittery [GDMNH 77]. (On 20 October 1676, "John Crafford now of Portsmouth in the County of Dover & Portsmouth, now in the Massatusetts Jurisdiction in New England, & Elizabeth his wife" sold to "Joseph Barnard of Water Town, in the County of Middlesex," twenty acres in Kittery [YLR 3:21]. On 9 October 1708, John Barnard Sr. and John Dix Sr. both of Watertown ... and James Barnard of Sudbury" sold to Biall Hambleton of Berwick twenty acres in Kittery [with same description as land of YLR 3:21] [YLR 7:114-15]. vi JAMES, b. say 1644; m. Watertown 8 October 1666 Abiel Phillips [WaVR 28], daughter of Rev. GEORGE PHIlLIPS [GMB 3:1449]. vii ELIZABETH, b. say 1648; m. Watertown 7 January 1670/1 John Dix [WaVR 33], son of EDWARD DIX [GMB 1:552]. viii BENJAMIN, b. about 1650 (aged 26 in 1676 [GDMNH 76, citing an unknown source]); m. by 1687 Sarah Wentworth, daughter of William Wentworth (Benjamin and wife Sarah sold land on 24 August 1687 [YLR 6:29-30]; on 19 December 1705, "Paul Wentworth of Rowley, ... husbandman was "appointed guardian unto Sarah Barnard a minor in the fifteenth year of her age, and to Benja[min] Barnard a minor in the thirteenth year of his age, children of Benja[min] Barnard late of Watertown ... deceased" [MPR Case #1050]; on 30 April 1706, "Sarah Barnard, daughter of Benj[amin] Barnard late of Watertown ... deceased, a minor in the fifteenth year of her age, have nominated and chosen ... my honored uncle Mr. Paul Wentworth of Rowley ..., husbandman, to be my guardian" [MPR 11:43]) [GDMNH 76, 739; Wentworth Gen 1:109-11]. ASSOCIATIONS: On 15 September 1638, Anne Wilson of Dedham, Essex, widow, bequeathed to "my daughter Phebe Barnard of New England ten pounds, and to her two children born here before she went over, vizt. John and Samuel, to each of them twenty shillings apiece" [Waters 1177, citing Commissary of London for Essex and Herts., original will in file for 1638-9, Number 152]. In her will, dated 1 March 1686/7 and proved 20 January 1689/90, "Anne Browne, widow & relict of Edmund Browne, clerk, deceased, of Sudbury, bequeathed to "my loving kinsman John Barnard of Watertowne the one half part of that twenty & five pounds in money which he hath of mine in his hands, provided he without any trouble do pay the other half part of the said money unto my adopted son & heir hereafter named"; to "my cousin John Deekes of Watertowne the fifteen pounds in money he hath of mine in his hands"; to "my loving kinsman James Barnard of Sudbury, whom I do hereby make, ordain & appoint & adopt to be my only son & heir, all whatsoever my estate of what kind soever not hereby before disposed of" [MPR Case #2952]. Anne Wilson was Anne (Sherman) (Whiting) Wilson, daughter of Henry Sherman and widow of Anthony Whiting and Thomas Wilson [Waters l174-75]. One of.her daughters was Phebe, wife of John Barnard, and another was Anne, wife first of John Lovering of Watertown and then of Edmund Brown of Sudbury. One of her brothers, Samuel Sherman, was father of Samuel Sherman of Boston and of PHILIP SHERMAN of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and another of her brothers, John, was father of Capt. John Sherman of Watertown. Anne’s uncle Edmund Sherman was father of Edmund Sherman of Wethersfield and of Richard Sherman of Boston [NEHGR 51:309-15]. COMMENTS: "John Bernard," aged 30, and "Phebe his wife," aged 27, sailed for New England on "the last of Aprill 1634" on the Elizabeth of Ipswich; with them were "John Bernard," aged 2, "Samuell Bernard," aged 1, and "Tho[mas] King," aged 15 [Hotten 280, 282]. There is no document which names all the children of John Barnard, so some justification must be supplied for the list given above. The passenger list entry and the will of Anne (Sherman) (Whiting) Wilson provide a solid anchor at the head of the list, telling us that two and only two children, John and Samuel, were born in England, by 1634. Mary and Joseph are provided by the vital records of Watertown. The will of Anne (Whiting) (Lovering) Browne ties together John Barnard, James Barnard and Elizabeth (Barnard) Dix, wife of John Dix. The inclusion of Benjamin in this family is proved by deeds from York county. On 20 December 1675, Humphrey Spencer of Kittery sold to "Beniame[n] Barnard of Water Town in the County of Middlesex" thirty acres in Kittery [YLR 4:55]. On 1 January 1685/6, Joseph Barnard of the parish of Barwicke, in the Town of Kittery, in the Province of Mayne,’ sold to "my brother Benjam[in] Barnard, of Dover in the Province of New Hampshire," fifty acres in Berwick "as it was bought of Benoni Hogsden, & by the deed of sale bearing date June 30th 1681" [YLR 4:65-66]. On 24 August 1687, "Benjamin Bernard of Dover..., yeoman, and Sarah his wife" sold to "Joseph Bernard of Barwick in the Township of Kittery ... fifty acres situate and being in the Township of Kittery, that land which I bought of Joseph Bernard" [YLR 6:29-30]. No direct evidence ties Hannah (Barnard) Goffe to this family, but at the time she married Samuel Coffe in Cambridge there was no other Barnard family in this part of Massachusetts, and on 1 June 1685, Samuel Goffe, as executor to Edmund Browne of Sudbury, sold land to James Barnard of Sudbury. A slight problem appears with the lack of Watertown birth records for this family before 1639. We know that all the children except for John and Samuel must have been born in New England. To marry in 1656, Hannah was probably born about 1636, and certainly earlier than 1639. James might also have been born in this gap prior to 1639, but we have placed him after the birth of Joseph in 1642, thus making him only 22 at marriage. We know that the immigrant John Barnard was living in Watertown by 1636 when he received a grant of land. If the order of birth of the children is given as above, there is a slight possibility that Barnard resided in some town other than Watertown for a year or two after his arrival in New England, and that Hannah was born there. The more likely alternative is that the Watertown records are simply defective at this point. If this is so, then we might rearrange the birth order, and suggest that Hannah was born about 1635 and James about 1637."
