THE ENGLISH FAMILY OF THOMAS¹ BARBER                   

 

This section is based on my original 1996 entry in The American Genealogist: vol 71,No 2, p 111.

 

It has long been known that Thomas¹ Barber, with several others, was apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid to bring them

to Windsor CT. 

  Francis Stiles was a carpenter and London freeman, so it seemed reasonable to search in the appropriate guild records in London. The following entry was found in the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall, in the minutes of a meeting held on 18 December 1634: "Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing Thomas Barber son of John Barber of Stamford in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, deceased, from St Thomas's day next for 9 years. 2s 2d". (which is 2 shillings, 2 pence).

  In the parish registers in Stamford and the adjacent parish of Uffington is the following information: [~ Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Films ~]

                   St George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County

                   Rebecca, daughter of John Barber, labourer, baptised 17 April 1609

                   Rebecca, daughter of John Barber, buried 6 Aug 1609

                   Sara, daughter of John Barber, labourer, baptised 16 Sept 1610

                   Thomas, son of John and Elizabeth Barber, baptised 25 Dec 1612

 

                   All Saints Parish, Stamford

                   Elizabeth LUMLEY, daughter of Thomas LUMLEY, baptised 4 August 1597 (How related?)

                   Elizabeth, daughter of John Barber, baptised 10 or 11 Nov 1616

                   John, son of John Barber, baptised 4 Aug 1620

                   John Barber, buried 21 Apr 1620

                   Elizabeth Barber, widow, buried 8 Mar 1632

                   John Barber, son of Widow Barber, buried 22 Mar 1632

 

                   Uffington Parish, Lincoln County  

                   Elizabeth Barber m William FOWLER, 8 Jun 1590   (? related)

                   Margaret Barber m John PREESTE, 2 Oct 1607     (? a sister of John^A)

                   John Barber m Elizabeth LUMLEY, 17 Oct 1608

 

  From the above records the English family of Thomas¹ BARBER appears to be as follows:

 

A. JOHN^A BARBER, b probably in the early or middle 1580s; buried at All Saints, Stamford, Lincoln County 21 April 1620; m Uffington, Lincoln County 17 October 1608 Elizabeth LUMLEY, who was buried at All Saints, Stamford on 9 March 1632/3.  

  John is called a "labourer" in 1609, and a "yeoman" later. Yeomen were small land owners, a step up from labourers, but below “gentry”.  John and Elizabeth lived first in St George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County,  which is the part of Stamford adjacent to Uffington, and later in All Saints Parish on the other side of Stamford.  Stamford is about 80 miles north of London.

                   Children of John and Elizabeth, baptised in Stamford: 

       i                   REBECCA¹, baptised St George Parish 17 Apr 1609; buried there 6 Aug 1609

      ii                   SARAH¹, baptised St George Parish 16 Sep 1610

 1   iii                   THOMAS¹, baptised St George Parish 25 Dec 1612; died in Windsor Connecticut 11 September 1662.  

      iv                   ELIZABETH¹, baptised All Saints Parish 10 or 11 Nov 1616

       v                   JOHN¹, baptised All Saints Parish 4 Aug 1620; buried there 22 Mar 1632/3.

 

  It seems likely that Thomas¹ BARBER was born 21 December 1612, which is St Thomas's Day, and baptized 4 days later.  He was still 21 years old on the date of his apprenticeship (18 December 1634). And this figure (21) was perhaps carried over mistakenly by Francis Stiles when reporting it less than 3 months later for the shipping list of 16 Mar 1634/5, by which time Thomas was 22 years old.

  The Elizabeth LUMLEY who was baptised in 1597, daughter of Thomas LUMLEY, is probably not the same person who married John Barber, since her baptism was only 9 years before this marriage, and baptisms at that time almost always took place soon after birth. No other LUMLEYS were found in Stamford or Uffington.

  I notice that John¹ Barber was born 3 months after his father John^A died. 

 

 

 

 

 

FIRST GENERATION

 

1. Sgt. THOMAS¹ BARBER (John^A) baptised at St George Parish, Stamford, Lincolnshire, England 25 Dec 1612; b probably 21 Dec 1612 (St Thomas’s Day); d Windsor CT 11 Sep 1662; m Windsor 7 Oct 1640 Jane ‑‑‑, b  ; d Windsor 10 Sep 1662; r Windsor.

  Before coming to New England Thomas was apprenticed on 18 Dec 1634 for a period of 9 years (until December 1643) under Francis STILES, a master carpenter from Millbrook, Bedfordshire, England.  Stiles was contracted by Sir Richard SALTONSTALL to bring apprentices to Windsor, and to build houses in America for Englishmen who were to follow. Thomas Barber at the age of 21 was among the twenty apprentices plus others who sailed with Stiles for New England in the ship "Christian" (John White, Master), which left London 16 Mar 1634 (Julian Calendar), and arrived 3 months later in Boston June 1635.  Each of the passengers had a certificate which read in part: "with certificate from St. Mildred, Bread Street, London, and having taken the oaths, to be transported to New England from London in the "Christian".  [~ from the Public Record Office, Westminster Hall, London ~]

  After 10 days at Boston the Christian sailed up the Connecticut River to Windsor, arriving there on the first of July 1635. That same year Thomas was granted a lot of a few acres, extending from Mill Brook, near the old Warham gristmill, north along both sides of Poquonock Avenue.  The author's father was born on this same land, and my brother, sister, and I were brought up on this, the original land grant.  After 330 years of continuous Barber ownership, the land has now all been sold.

  The Pequot War in 1637, which according to the settlers was precipitated by the Pequot Indians and their continual harassment of the settlers, the friendly Mohegan Indians, and sometimes the Narragansetts, found Thomas a Sargeant, one of 30 soldiers from Windsor who were enrolled under Major Stoughton for 3 weeks and 2 days. Under the leadership of Captain John MASON, the May 26 1637 night attack on the Pequot fort was a complete surprise to the sleeping Pequots, and a large percentage of the tribe was massacred.  Thomas Barber's bravery (he was inside the Pequot Fort at Mystic during the attack, and along with Edward Pattison, “having no time to reload their muskets, slew seven fleeing Indians with axes and knives”), gained him honorable mention from Capt. Mason, and in return for this service, in 1641 he was granted 600 acres of land in Massaco, in the western part of Windsor. Massaco became Simsbury in 1669.

  On March 28, 1637 Francis Stiles (master carpenter) was ordered to teach his servants, George Chapple, Thomas Cooper and Thomas Barber in the trade of carpentry.  The year 1645 found Thomas still an apprentice carpenter. Stiles apparently was slow to finish Thomas's apprenticeship, and needed a court order to force him to do so.  Shortly after that Thomas was a free man.   At the time of his death in 1662, Thomas may have been making preparations to move to Northampton MA, where he was offered a home lot and 20 acres.

  Life was apparently not completely peaceful for Thomas¹ BARBER.  Court records in 1649 show that he was found liable for a debt to William FRANKLIN.  Thomas claimed that he had given the money to Thomas FORD to pay to Franklin.  Then in 1650 Sargeant Barber was fined 5 pounds and forced to surrender his rank, for the disorderly striking of Lt. COOKE in an argument over church matters; Thomas believed that the church had no right to interfere in temporal matters. This penalty was later canceled when apparently Thomas apologized: "he is affected with his great evil and rash passionate carriage in striking the Lt." 

  Thomas left an estate appraised at over 132 pounds.

  A deep mystery surrounds Jane, wife of Thomas.  He married her in 1640, but the written record by Matthew Grant gives only the name Jane or Joan.  Two of Thomas's sons married COGGIN ladies, but there is little sign that Jane was a Coggin, as some have suggested.  One report (LDS record) has it that Jane COGGIN, b Bedfordshire ENG 1619 was daughter of John COGGIN, b in Bedford, Bedfordshire about 1593.

  It has also been suggested that Thomas BARBER married Jane BANCROFT, widow of John BANCROFT who died in 1637. Jane Bancroft had ties to Windsor thru her daughter Anna, b 1627, who married 1647 John GRIFFIN of Windsor and Simsbury, and her son John, born about 1620, who married in 1650 Hannah DUPPER and had a family in Windsor. But Jane BONYTHON who married John BANCROFT was born in 1573, and would have been way too old to have borne Thomas BARBER’s children.  This theory against the wife being Jane Bancroft was written up in The American Genealogist, Vol 37, p 164, in 1961 by George E McCracken  and more or less disproved at that time. He points out that she would have had to have borne children for too long a time span - highly unlikely, and also she would have had 2 sons named John and 2 named Thomas - also unlikely.  Another account has John BANCROFT born about 1596, died 1637, m. Jane about 1622.  That would have meant she was born about 1606 or before, making her about 47 in 1653 when Thomas’s youngest child Josiah Barber was born - not impossible, but very unlikely. 

 

  It has been said by some that Thomas may have married the daughter of one of the Dutch traders at Old Saybrook, or Hartford, and also that the one he married was “the first white woman to land in Connecticut”.

  One of Francis STILES' sisters was named Jane, born 1605.  She married in England and presumably remained there.  There was a Jane MORDEN or WORDEN, age 35 (in 1635), on the passenger list of the Christian; however I know nothing further about her.  It seems she was too old to have borne all of Thomas's children. 

  There seems as yet no way of knowing who Jane was (an all too frequent problem in genealogy). [~ Windsor Hist Soc:Jay Mack Holbrook, 1992; 1909 Barber Gen; Barbour Index; Lyman Barber Gen; Stiles:Windsor; Lure of the Litchfield Hills ~]

SECOND GENERATION

 

2. Dea. JOHN² BARBER (Thomas¹), baptised Windsor CT 24 Jul 1642; d 17 Jan 1711/12; m/1 Windsor 2 Sep 1663 Bathsheba COGGIN, b probably Taunton MA about 1645, d Springfield 1688, daughter of Thomas and Joan (...) COGGIN of Taunton. Bathsheba was sister of Mary COGGIN, who married John² BARBER’s brother Samuel.  

  John m/2 2 May 1689 Hannah (GARDNER) BANCROFT, widow of Thomas BANCROFT, and probably the daughter of Samuel GARDNER of Hadley MA.

--------------------

  The following is an attempt to clarify some relationships between COGGINS and BARBERs:

The above mentioned Joan (---), b England; d Springfield MA Nov 1695; m 1641 Thomas COGGIN, b England, died Taunton MA in 1653/4. Joan (---) COGGIN m/2 1654 Obadiah MILLER of Springfield

                   Children of Joan and Thomas COGGIN:

        i                   Bathsheba COGGIN, b Taunton about 1645; m John BARBER.

       ii                   Mary COGGIN, b Taunton about 1647; m Samuel BARBER.

      iii                   Martha COGGIN, b Taunton about 1648; m Peter BUELL.

       iv                   Ruth COGGIN, b Taunton about 1650; m Samuel TAYLOR.

 

                   Children of Joan (---) and Obadiah MILLER:

        i                   Lazarus MILLER, b Springfield MA 23 Sep 1655; m Mary BURBANK.

       ii                   Obadiah MILLER, b Springfield 26 Mar 1658; m Benedicta LAWTON.

      iii                   Joanna MILLER, b Springfield MA or Windsor CT 6 Jul 1659; d Springfield 3 Nov 1713; m 27 Jan 1677/8 John

                    BARBER, Jr. of Springfield.

                     John Barber, Jr of Springfield is not apparently related to John of Windsor, son of Thomas.   From the above, it is

                    apparent that Joanna MILLER was a younger step-sister of Bathsheba and Mary COGGIN, all 3 being daughters of

                    Joan (---) COGGIN MILLER.   [~ Corresp:Rich Raney ~]

-------------------

  John lived in Windsor on the original homestead, which was left to him by his father.  When he moved his family to Springfield MA in 1671 the Windsor home was transferred to his brother Samuel.  John lived in Springfield from 1671 to 1684, during which time he served as Deacon in Christ Church in Springfield, and also as one of the Springfield Selectmen.

3. Lt. THOMAS² BARBER (Thomas¹), baptised Windsor CT 14 Jul 1644; d Simsbury CT 10 May 1713; m Windsor 17 Dec 1663 Mary PHELPS, b 2 Mar 1644/5, d 13 Feb 1725/6, daughter of William Sr and Mary (DOVER) PHELPS.  After Thomas and Mary were married, they lived in a house built by Thomas in Windsor, on a lot he purchased in 1664. About 1670/71 he moved his family to Simsbury along with his brother Samuel and family.

  On March 3, 1676/7 during the so‑called "King Phillip's War", Lieutenant Thomas Barber of the original military company of Simsbury was instrumental in saving the Simsbury residents, according to an old tradition.  Some of Phillip's Wampanoag Indians threatened to attack the town. Thomas "ascended the roof of his house, in the place called Hopmeadow, and beat an alarm on his drum.  The wind being favorable, the alarm was heard in Windsor, some seven or eight miles off".  The Windsor militia, hearing the alarm, quickly assembled, rushed to Simsbury and were able to evacuate safely the people of Simsbury to safety in Windsor, where they stayed for several months.  King Phillip burned and destroyed everything on March 26th, 1676.  Eventually they returned to their community and began the task of rebuilding. Once the town was rebuilt life in Simsbury was due to change.  

  Up to this point the grain grown by the farmers had to be hauled to the Warham Gristmill in Windsor. This was no easy task, due to weather conditions not always being favorable, the roads leaving much to be desired even for the oxen, and the lessening danger of attacks by Indians or wild animals. Thomas Barber had proven his leadership ability during the King Phillip's War, and now his skills, along with those of 3 other men, were contracted by the town for a more peaceful pursuit, that of building and running a sawmill and gristmill.  The Simsbury gristmill built by these men in about 1680 was still in operation until the early 1950's, when the mill was operated as a Jute Yarn factory under the ownership of R H ENSIGN.  After that the mill was idle for about 30 years.   

  In 1985 major renovations took place. The Ensign‑Bickford Company dismantled the entire building board by board and reassembled it. The present‑day building is beautifully restored, winning for the owners the Greater Hartford Architecture Conservancy Award.  The Hop Brook Restaurant was recently located for a time in the present structure. This was an absolutely delightful place beside the brook, for lunch or dinner. 

  Thomas Barber's carpentry skills, passed on from his father, were much in demand, and he later built the first church in Simsbury, in 1683.  He was hired by the town in 1671 to build “a meeting house for public worship”, but for 12 years there was a bitter argument over which side of the river it would be built on. Finally 2 slips of paper were placed in a hat, and one was drawn, in favor of the West side of the river. Once it was completed, the new building was used for 60 years.

  After his parents' death just after his 14th birthday, Samuel was placed (4 Feb 1662) in the home of his brother Thomas until age 21. At about the time of his marriage, Samuel apparently went with his brother to Simsbury, but must have returned to Windsor soon, because all of his family's vital records were recorded in Windsor.  He lived in a house on the original Barber tract, nearly opposite the Windsor Cannery on Poquonock Ave.  This house was first occupied by his brother John, but was transfered to Samuel when John moved to Springfield.

  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 ~]

  Jonathan attended Yale College, New Haven CT, in the class of 1730. He studied theology, and was licensed to preach in Hampshire Co MA in 1732.  He began in Agawam, preaching mainly to Indians. Later he was sent to preach to the Mohegans north of New London CT. He lived at Oyster Ponds on Long Island from 1735 to 1740.

  The year 1740 was an eventful one for Jonathan. In September he met Rev. George WHITEFIELD, evangelical preacher visiting from England during that year in “The Great Awakening”, who upon hearing of Jonathan's success in revival meetings on Long Island that summer, persuaded him to accompany him to Georgia to be superintendent and chaplain of his Orphan‑House in Bethesda, Chatham Co GA, just below Savannah. On the way Jonathan married Sarah in New York City.

  After 7 years in Georgia, Jonathan returned to Long Island, where he remained until 1758.  In that year he was installed as the 4th pastor of the Congregational Church at Groton CT, where he served until 1765.  From that point on he lived in a weakened, dejected state, until his death, which occurred suddenly, but not until 18 years later.  [~ CT Hist Soc:DLJacobus Manuscript; CT HIst Soc:Barber‑Morgan Bible; Yale College Biog ~]

                     Thomas graduated from Yale College in 1762, and studied medicine. About 1765 he settled in Middletown Point,

                    and practiced medicine as the only physician in town.  In 1774 he received an MA degree from the College of NJ. In

                    1776 he was commissioned Surgeon of the lst Regiment from Monmouth Co.  At his death, Thomas was a man

                    of considerable property.  [~ CT church rec; Yale College Biog; Corresp:Jeffrey Owens ~]

  Samuel's expertise with herbs and roots and his good fortune and ability in healing with them earned him the title of "Doctor" with no formal training. A well‑known hunter and certainly an eccentric, he was welcome I'm sure in any home where disease brought despair to its occupants.

  Although he lived in Simsbury, Samuel bought 2 lots in Norfolk CT, and lived there for a time.  The History of Norfolk gives an account of a hunting trip by Samuel and 2 of his sons, former residents of Norfolk, who came into Norfolk from Simsbury to wander around.  They startled a panther up into a tree, and were obliged to shoot it to escape harm, and “to rid the world of a frightful monster.” The Pownal VT 1790 Census lists a Samuel Barber, with 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 4 females.  Was this Dr. Samuel's family?
