• Notes

  The Barnards of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut, which also included the present towns of East Windsor, South Windsor, Bloomfield, Windsor Locks, and Ellington, are descended from Joseph Barnard, Jr., a grandson of Francis. From Ancient Windsor these descendants have spread out through much of Hartford County, and to other Connecticut localities and other states. (1681 -- 1736), per William Asher Barnard (1681 - ), per Ruth Emily Barnard (20 June 1681 Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA -- Dec. 1736 Windsor, Hartford Co., CT; interred at Windsor), per Edward Stilson Barnard (20 June 1681 Hadley, MA -- 1736), per Edward Carleton Barnard (20 June 1681 - ), per FTM WFT Ped. #4509 Vol. 7 (20 June 1681 - ), per Dwight, Vol. 2, p. 1465, and per Sheldon, A History of Deerfield, MA, II, p. 65 (20 June 1681 - ), per Jones, Matt Bushnell, 1909, History of the Town of Waitsfield, Vermont: George E. Littlefield, Boston, MA, p. 221 Joseph Barnard (20 June 1681 - ), removed to Windsor, per Boltwood, L. M., Genealogies of Hadley Families, p. 9, in Judd, Sylvester, 1905, History of Hadley: H. R. Huntting & Co., Springfield, MA Joseph Jr. married Abigail Griswold (1685 -- 1747 Windsor, Hartford Co., CT), daughter of Edward Griswold and Abigail Williams, on 4 Oct. 1705 at Hartford, CT, per Edward Stilson Barnard Joseph married Abigail Griswold ( - ), per Sheldon, A History of Deerfield, MA, II, p. 66, and per FTM WFT Ped. #4509 Vol. 7 (20 June 1681 - ), per Sheldon, A History of Deerfield, MA, II, p. 65, per FTM WFT Ped. #4509 Vol. 7, and per Dwight, Vol. 2, p. 1465 (20 June 1681 Deerfield, Franklin, MA -- 12 July 1736 Windsor, CT), per Strong Family History Update, Vol. III, p. 445 Joseph Barnard, s. of Jos. and Sarah, born June 20, 1681, per Vital Records of Deerfield, Massachusetts, to the Year 1850, page 26, compiled by Thomas W. Baldwin, A.B., S.B., member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston,Mass., 1920, reproduced in Early Vital Records of Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire Counties, Massachusetts to about 1850, Search & ReSearch Publ. Corp., Wheat Ridge, CO Inasmuch as Joseph Barnard, Sr. was among the 79 individuals taxed at Hadley in 1681 for building Fort River Bridge (Judd, p. 203), it is likely that he was in Hadley when Joseph Jr. was born 20 June that year--WMB Cordwainer; settled at Windsor, CT, per Sheldon, A History of Deerfield, MA, II, p. 66 Joseph Barnard, Jr., of Windsor, was the son of Joseph of Hadley/Deerfield and Sarah Strong. He was born 28 June 1681, per Evans (20 June 1681in Deerfield, MA, per William Asher Barnard). Prior to obtaining lineages constructed by David Evans, Ed Barnard, and WAB, who all identify this son of Joseph of Hadley/Deerfield as the individual who married Abigail Griswold, WMB had already argued that Joseph of Windsor was the son of Joseph of Deerfield: It is the logical connectionof the Windsor Barnards with Francis of Hadley through Francis' son Joseph and the latter's wife being from Windsor. Joseph would have been 24 years old (if born 1681) when he married Abigail Griswold in 1705. Also, it is reasonable that Joseph of Windsor named his first daughter Abigail after his own wife, and his second daughter after his mother Sarah (and sister). His first son, Joseph, was probably named both for himself and his father, while his son Francis was named after his grandfather Francis (d. 1698). (The other sons of Francis are ruled out as potential fathers of Joseph of Windsor: Francis' son Thomas had two sons, Thomas and John; Francis' son Samuel had one son, Samuel; and Francis' son John died without issue). Stiles, II, p. 58, refers to him as Joseph ("Sgt.") Barnard [prob. The "Lieut. Joseph" that d. 12 July1736]; WAB and dockhouse@compuserve.com list Joseph as deceased in Windsor on same date. Sgt. Joseph Barnard, Jr. (20 June 1681 Deerfield, Franklin, MA -- 12 July 1736 Windham, CT) married 4 Oct. 1705 Windsor, Abigail Griswold, d/o Edward and Abigail (Williams) Griswold, b. Aug 3, 1685 Westfield, Hampden, MA, d. 1747 Windsor---per SFAA Joseph married Abigail Griswold ( - ), per Sheldon, A History of Deerfield, MA, II, p. 66; married 1705, per Sheldon, AHistory of Deerfield, MA, II, Appendix, p. 397 Joseph married Abigail Griswold (3 Aug. 1685 Westfield, Hampden, MA -- 1747 Windsor, CT), daughter of Edward and Abigail (Williams) Griswold, 4 Oct. 1705 Windsor, CT, per Strong Family History Update, Vol. III, p. 445 Joseph Barnard married Abigaell Griswold, both of Windsor, Oct. 4, 1705, per Windsor Vital Records, v. 2, p. 127 (Barbour Collection) Abigail Griswold (d. 1747), of Windsor, married Joseph Barnard on 4 Oct. 1705, per Stiles, II, p. 58, and WAB. She was born 3 Aug. 1685 at Westfield, MA, and died 1746/47 at Windsor, CT, per goofball...; ESB gives life span as (1685 -- 1747). Just when Abigail and Joseph, son of Joseph of Hadley/Deerfield, emigrated to Windsor is not presently known. See Appendix C for information on the Griswolds.
