  Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1749 N.S.- ), per Simsbury vital records, v. TM4, p. 179 Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1759, "New Stile" - ), per Stiles, II, p. 59, and placed between Ebenezer and Elihu Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1749 Wintonbury, CT -- 1815), per Edward Stilson Barnard Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1749 in Simsbury, CT -- 1815), per William Asher Barnard Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1749 in Simsbury -- 8 Aug. 1815 in Simsbury), per SSWR, p. 44 Samuel Barnard (9 Mar. 1759 -- 1815), per SFAA This Samuel has children born in both Windsor and Simsbury, and there are no records of Samuel Barnards, other than theson of Francis, of this date in Ancient Windsor. The Connecticut 1790 Federal Census (first census of the United States), Simsbury, CT, p. 462, lists Samuel and brothers Ebenezer and Francis Jr. as the three heads of Barnard households in Simsbury; none are listed for Windsor. Samuel's first child (Samuel, Jr.) was born in July 1773, so it is reasonable that he married in 1772 (or 12 Jan. 1773, per SSWR) at age 23 years, if he were Francis' son born in 1749.---WMB 1790 federal census, Simsbury, Hartford, CT, hand-printed page 462: Samuel Barnard, 2 3 4, which decoded is: 2 free males of 16 years upwards [Samuel; Samuel Jr.]; 3 free white males under 16 years [Abner, b. 1775; James Harvey, b. 1783; Milton, b. 1788]; 4 free white females [wife Roxana; Roxanna, b. ca. 1776; Achsah , b. 1781; Mabel, b. 1786] 1800 federal census, Simsbury, Hartford, CT, stamped page 245: Samuel Barnard, 11101 // 31110, which is decoded as: 1 male <10 [Abner, b. 1799 ]; 1 male 10-15 [Milton, b. 1788]; 1 male 16 -- 25 [James Harvey, b. 1783]; 1 male 45 and over [Samuel] ; 3 females <10 [Matilda, b. 1792; Electra, b. 1794; Sally, b. 1797 ]; 1 female 10-15 [Mabel, b. 1786]; 1 female16-25 [Achsah, b. 1781]; 1 female 26-44 [wife Roxana] Note: Samuel Jr. was head of his own household in 1800; the firstborn Abner had already died in 1795; Roxanna, b. 1776,was already married to Haynes Woodbridge and in her own house with two children already born ca. 1799--WMB 1810 federal census, Windsor, CT, stamped page 476: Samuel Barnard, 01001 // 01101 0, which is decoded as: 1 male 10-15[Abner, b. 1799]; 1 male 45 and over [Samuel]; 1 female 10-15 [Sally, b. 1797]; 1 female 16-25 [probably Electra, b. 1794]; 1 female 45 and over [wife Roxana] Note: By 1810 sons Milton and James Harvey headed their own households; Matilda, b. 1792, MAY have already married Samuel Cadwell--WMB Service in the American Revolution: "1775: Probably at LEX.

[Note: Before judging Samuel's desertion too adversely, the situation should be considered carefully. During the Revolutionary War desertionwas commonplace because food, clothing, footware, and ammunition were often in short supply. There appears to be no record of any military discipline for his desertion.] Samuel's will, written 30 June 1815, as transcribed by Eileen B. Phelps: "I, S.
