THE BARNES FAMILY.
The name of Barnes appears early on the Marl. Records ; but it is believed that the Barneses belonged to different familics, though their names appear about the same time.

JOHN BARNES was in Marl. carly, and m. 1664, Johanna. She d. Oct. 29, 1712, and he d. Sept. 8, 1715. I have not been able to trace his lineage with certainty. His will mentions William Barnes, of Haddam, Ct., and John Barnes, Jr., of Marl., as his " kinsmen." He probably had no children, as we find no record of any, and none are mentioned in his will. As he refers to the children of Thomas Barnes as his " kinsmen," he was probably a brother or cousin of Thomas. He also remembers the children of Supply Weeks, who m. a dan. of Thomas Barnes. John Barnes was a deacon, and probably one of the first deacons of the church of Marl. Having no children, his family became extinct.
The family of Richard and of Thomas Barnes, as far as we can ascertain, were not connected. There was another family of Barneses in Marl. at one time, of which mention has been made elsewhere, on whose marriage and children the town records are silent. When he came to town, and from what place, we can learn nothing with cer- tainty. I allude to HENRY BARNES, the Loyalist. He was in town as early as 1753, and appears to have been a magistrate, and a man of business. He was a trader, and set up a distillery, for distilling cider. He is spoken of as an "impostor," and probably came to Marl. from some of the seaport towns. He was denounced as a tory. He entertained the spies sent out by General Gage in 1775, and left the place that year. He does not appear to have been connected with the Marl. Barneses. He is supposed to have left the country
320
with the other Refugees, and to have died in England. He resided near " Spring Hill," at which place he was in trade, and he built the house known as the Cogswell place. His property was confiscated.
BARSTOW .- JEREMIAH BARSTOW m. Dec. 6, 1711, Sarah Howe, dau. of Joseph and Dorothy, and had Elizabeth, b. 1712; Dorothy, b. 1714; John, b. Jan. 30, 1716 ; Abigail, b. 1717 ; William, b. Aug. 17, 1719; Sarah, b. 1721; Susanna, b. 1723; Lydia, b. 1725 ; Jeremiah, b. July 5, 1727 ; Lucy, b. 1730.
Jeremiah Barstow was a miller, and owned the mills and all the land now covered by the village of Feltonville, and sold the same in 1723 to Robert Barnard. He probably left town soon after.
THE BARTLETT FAMILY.
The Bartletts were not among the earliest settlers in the town; nor is their record full and satisfactory. Living on the borders of the town, they have probably their record in part in the towns set off from Marl.
