William Barnes, one of the first eighteen men who organ- ized the town of Amesbury in 1655, and one of the most prominent of their number, was b. in England 1603, d. in Amesbury 1698. He held many important town offices, and his name occurs frequently on Amesbury records. Through the marriage of two of his daughters he becomes the remote ancestor of many Sutton families, which circum- stance makes this brief notice of him admissible in our town history. His daughter, Rachel Barnes, b. April 30, 1649, m. March 2, 1667-'68, Thomas Sargent, and the Sargents of Sutton, New London, Warner, and Hopkinton are their descendants, as are the Harveys of the same towns the descendants of Sarah Barnes through her marriage with John Harvey, her 2d husband.

profession in Philadelphia. His choice of Louisiana for his home and field of medical practice was determined by the fact that an asthmatic difficulty compelled him to seek a milder climate than New England affords. It was supposed by some of his former friends at the North that during the war Dr. Harvey served in the Southern army, but a let- ter from his son, now resident in Louisiana, gives the following assur- ance : " My father never entered the Southern army."

was afterwards his home. He was an active business man, and was extensively engaged in farming and in lumbering. When a resident, in Windsor he represented that town in the legislature in 1864 and 1865, and about the same time received a commission as justice of the peace. He also held a military commission as ensign, and later as lieutenant. He was in the cavalry, and the pistols he used when he. " rode in the troop " have been in the Emerson family ever since the Concord fight, and are said to have been taken from a British officer on that occasion. They are now in possession of his son George. In. religion, Jonathan Emerson was a Baptist; in politics, a Democrat.

In the autumn of 1831, being then sixteen years of age, Matthew Harvey went to Newport and commenced his apprenticeship to the printer's trade in the office of the N. H. Spectator, B. B. French editor and partial proprietor. From that date the newspaper business be- came Mr. Harvey's life-work, concerning which, for fuller details, see sketch of Henry G. Carleton, his business partner. At the time of his death, in 1885, he was, with the exception of Mr. Carleton, the oldest editor in the state, and as such his death was extensively noticed in most of the newspapers in New England, especially in Boston. Al- though always popular as a citizen, Mr. Harvey was never an office- seeker, having little time and less inclination to pursue politics beyond what was demanded by the interests of the Democratic party, of which the Argus and Spectator was an organ. It had been more or less cus- tomary to bestow the office of register of deeds for Sullivan county upon the publisher of the paper, in order to help sustain the same, and Mr. Harvey had his turn with his partner in holding this office some five years. He was also assistant marshal of the U. S. to take the U. S. census in 1860.
