SAMUEL BARD. 1
1 Samuel Bard was a son of Peter Bard, 2d, who was the second son of Peter Bard, 1st, a Huguenot, who came from Montpelier, France, about 1700, and settled in Burlington, where he carried on business as a merchant until 1723, and then engaged in buying and selling land, building and operating mills, &c., until his death, in 1734 .- N. J. Ar- chives, XII., 667, note. Peter Bard, 2d, was a merchant in Philadelphia, until 1734; within a few years after that date he removed to Mount Holly, where he was living in 1750. He took up several hundred acres of land in Burlington county, but sold the same in 1764. He died at Mount Holly November 30, 1769. Samuel Bard, his son, was born in 1740, and was admitted to the New Jersey Bar November 3, 1761. In 1765 he removed to Bristol, Penn., where he continued practising, until his death, December 14, 1769. His will, dated Nov. 27, 1768, was proved Dec. 20, 1769, and is recorded in the Secretary of State's office, Trenton, Liber No. 14, p. 135. He appoints his father, Peter Bard, and Zach- ariah Rossell, executors, and directs them to sell all his land and property, consisting of a brick house at Mount Holly, and a tract of land adjoining the iron works he bought of his father; also all his real estate, and after payment of his debts the remainder to go to his wife Mary, in fee. He probably had no children, as none are men- tioned in his will. He was a cousin of Dr. Samuel Bard, one of the most eminent physicians in the eighteenth century, the first President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in New York.
