407 Charles C. Cafferty "David Barney, Revolutionary Soldier" (in BFHA newsletters 1988/89). Article states "Mrs. Barney was taken before her husband who, in his old age, married a widow Harding. David Barney died in 1826, aged 86 years." The Cafferty article says David had eleven children. William (the oldest son) married at Richmond, N.H. and possibly remained there. The article names the following children, which don't seem to be David Barney's children, but may be mis-identifications:

Margaret Barney; md. Jonathan Norwood (who is she?)
Nathan Barney; md. (is this Jonathan?)
Jehu Barney; md. Tobatha Yates. (is this John?)

The article also says David Barney Jr. md. Zeraiah Beebe.

According to the Cafferty article, David had eleven children. William was md. at Richmond, NH and possibly remained there. The remaining ten children probably came with their parents to Tioga Co., NY. The article names the following children: 1- William, md., stayed in Richmond; 2- Margaret, md. Jonathan Norwood; 3- Nathan; 4- David, Jr., b. 27 Apr 1775, d. 27 Mar 1852, md. Zeraiah Beebe; 5- Bennaiah, md. 1795 to Eleanor Earsley; 6- Jehu, md. Tobatha Yates; 7- Canvis, md. --- Cook; 8- Jonathan, lived at Bath, NY; 9- Zimariah; 10- John (poss.); & 11- Luther (poss.) The article also states,"Mrs. Barney was taken before her husband who, in his old age, married a widow Harding. David Barney died in 1826, aged 86 yrs" and was buried on the family plot in Tioga Co., NY. I think the Luther Barney who is recorded in Road District #4 in 1791 is Luther (1757), a third cousin of David Barney (1739). It is known that this Luther Barney moved from Sandgate, Bennington Co., Vt. to Chenango Pt., Chenango Co., NY between 1788 and 1792. Chenango Pt., located at the confluence of the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers, is near Vestal Township in Broome Co., NY.

Other notes on their children: #1- Swansea Vit. Rec lists as son "Ledy".
Boston Transcript (3)246 lists as dau "Lydia". #9 "Your Family Tree" 13:68 states: David Barney, born in NH came to Apolacom, Susquehanna, Penn in 1800 via Vestal, Broome, NY in 1785. He died in Apolacon 27 Mar ..., aged 76. His wife died 10 Feb 1843, aged 61. After marriage, they moved to Richmond, NH abt 1763, he was "Rep. to General Assembly in Exeter, NH in 1778, and delegate to Constitutional Convention in 1782."

Some sources listed three other children with his 1st wife, Elizabeth; they are Nathan, b. abt 1782; Margaret, b. abt 1784 and John b. abt 1785, which is the same year of David's death date.

From Aunt Betty's notes (Re. "History of Broome County, N.Y.", 1885, p.467 (Vestal Township): It is said that Major David Barney was the first settler in Vestal, who came with his family in 1785; but there is no authentic account of the circumstances, or of his family. It is said he came down the river from Cooperstown in a canoe, and that the craft became unmanageable at some point in the trip and upset, the children narrowly escaping drowning.

John Charles Barney, Jr., Ithaca, NY (1/7/2002): "The History of Susquehanna County," by Emily Blackman, first published in 1873 (1992 Reprint). Here paraphrased is some of the relevant sections: David Barney was the first European settler in Apolacon Township of Susquehanna County. He arrived with his wife (no name in the book) in 1800 in what was then called Little Meadows (now an incorporated Borough in Susquehanna County) from Vestal in Broome County, just across the state line in New York state in 1785. He came originally from New Hampshire. He set up the first farm west of Snake Creek and above Forest Lake in the area, which at that time was apart of Rush township. The farm was in a broad valley on the east side of Apolacon Creek and of the original Native American trail in the area, which became State Road 858. He was a fantastic shot and great hunter, and helped keep many of the early settlers in the area from starving during the long winters. Many of the earliest settlers also worked on his farm, which became a very productive dairy farm and apple orchard, and it is still farmed to this day by other people (Lalor is the current owner). In addition to farming, he started the first saw mill in the area in 1816 and his farm later was the place of the area's first hotel. David died in on March 27th, 1852 in his 77th year. His wife (unnamed) died in 1843 in her 62nd year. David's brother Benaiah arrived in 1806 or 1807 and built the area's first grist mill in 1811. He also served as the first President of the Sunday school. He later moved onto Indiana, where he died. David had several children all born in Apolacon Twp. The first was a son named Darius and he was born in 1801, making him the first European child born in the township. David had three other sons: Jonathon (1809), Harry (1811) and David (?). He had three daughters too listed in the book as follows: Mrs. Richard Collins of Apolacon, Mrs. Jotham Rounds of Vestal, NY and Mrs. Levi Jones of Owego, NY. Darius, Jonathon and Harry spent their whole lives in Little Meadows and died there. The only death noted in the book is that of Darius in 1870. Jonathon Barney became the town doctor, while Darius ran the farm and Harry set up and ran a hotel. All of them were instrumental in creating first the Township of Choconut from the Township of Rush in 1813, the Township of Apolocon from the Township of Choconut in 1841 and finally the Borough of Little Meadows from the Township of Apolacon in 1856. All were involved with the early Methodist church in the area. There is also a great historic map showing the location of all of the Barney residences and places of business in Little Meadows in 1872.

416 Civil War commander of Brown's Battery, 1st Rhode Island Artillery. At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, his battery was positioned next the the Clump of Trees at the Union center on Cemetery Ridge. During the bombardment prior to Pickett's Charge one of his guns received a direct hit on the muzzle just after the powder had been loaded into the barrel. The incoming shell did explode and killed the two upfront men manning the gun, William Jones, and Alfred Gardner. The gun was retired from the field and eventually sent to the State Capitol in Providence as a momento. In 1971 it was learned that the remaining powder (a pound) was still in the barrel. It was delooted and still is on exhibit there today. Brown's Battery was replaced in the field by Andrew Cowan's Battery. Brown was wounded during the action

Clark County Child Killed in Great Bend
A tragedy that brought sorrow to a number of homes in Clark County occurred in Great Bend last Sunday when Eula May Crane, 3 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.V. Crane of the Lexington neighborhood was run over by an automobile, and so severely injured that she died within an hour after she had been hit by the car. Mr. and Mrs. Crane and their 2 daughters, Ellen and Eula May had gone to Great Bend to visit relatives. She leaves her parents, one sister, Ellen, her grandparents, 4 great-grandparents, and other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.

Mariam Blanche Morrison was born near St. Bernice, Vermillion County, IN November 7, 1887, the daughter of James and Lucy (Crane) Morrison and passed from this life in the Ashland Hospital at 1:15 a.m. on June 6, 1944.

It is thought that sometime before her birth her father and uncle, Henry Morrison, had come to Clark County and filed on land. Later they moved their families and Blanche, as she was always known, came with them. As soon as old enough she attended the community schools such as we had in those early days, and as she soon outgrew them she went back to Indiana and completed her education, returning and making her home here until her marriage with Lawrence Foncannon, December 1, 1903.

After marriage she and her husband went to Indiana where they lived for some time and then returned to this county where her home has been ever since. She was the mother of 5 children: Mrs. Mary Gohn of Tulare, CA; Mrs. Walter D. Reed, of Bolivar, MO; and 3 sons, John of Wichita; James of Tulare, CA; and Stephen of the home.

Since the death of her mother, Blanche has resided on the old home farm as a tenant of her brothers and sisters. For the past 2 or 3 years her health has been impaired and just a few days before her death, an attack caused her to be brought to the hospital where she improved and had the physician's permission to go home last Tuesday. An adverse turn in her condition Monday afternoon proved fatal.

424 Colwell Family record [per Glendon Colwell Hall's "Colwell's of New England"] indicates William H. H. Barney's wife was "Sarah Louise" as opposed to Sarah Larkin Potter [see detailed information regarding Ethel Ora Colwell and her husbands].

birth: WFT #4:0735 says b. R.I.

Eric Hogan (2/8/00) [see more of his notes under Walter Benaiah Barney]: Did you figure out how they connect? My great-great-grandmother Sally Larkin (Bliss) was born 5 Aug 1878 in East Providence, RI. (d. 1962 in Attleboro, Ma) Her mother was Mary Augusta Potter (b. 4 Mar 1844) and father Franklin Smith Bliss (b. 19 Jun 1843).

Sarah Larkin Potter (b. Aug 1843) seems like that has to be who Sally Larkin Bliss received her middle name. She would seem to be Mary Augusta Potter's (cousin maybe?) according to the birthdates. Attleboro, Ma is where most of my family is from.

MCB III has RI family photo of including older woman who is believed to be Sarah Larkin (Potter) Barney taken at Camp Cole, RI (about 1910 because MCB, Sr. is about 8 years old in photo.) Sarah is older lady sitting in chair in tent...

Sarah Larkin (Potter)_ Barney is the only CLOSE Barney/Colwell family female who was alive at that time (the other older lady in photo IS Sarah Maritta Rounds, who is thus ruled out...), so per Glendon Colwell Hall (the little boy in front in the picture, who was alive in 1999 and gave the group picture to Maurice Colwell Barney III) the oldest lady is "Grandmother Barney" (grandmother to Maurice Colwell Barney, Sr.)

425 COMMENCEMENT HONORS AT WINONA HIGH SCHOOL

Miss Gladys Winter Ranks Highest and Will Be Veladictorian and Rolland Wilson Comes Next and Will Be Salutatorian — Both Residents of Dakota Village— Interesting Announcement by Principal Webster Davis.

Gladys Winter with an average grade of 95.32 was today declared to be the valedictorian of the class of 1915 of the Winona High school and Holland Wilson with an average grade of 94.68 the salutatorian of the class, by Principal Webster Davis before a general assembly of the student body of the school.
The honor roll of this year's graduating class oj the High school consists of fourteen students who have performed the work of their High school career with an average grade ibove 90 per cent. This compares very favorably with the honor roll of last year's class, which contained the names of fifteen students out of a class of eighty while this year's class will have only about 60 members.
Mr. Davis congratulated the school, the faculty and those on the honor roll for the excellent record they had made after his announcement had been received by the student body.

Winner of First Honors

Gladys Winter, the valedictorian, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Winter of Dakota, Minn., her father being a fruit raiser. Misa Winter was born in 1897 and, although a student in Dakota, received most of her education in a little, rural, one-roomschool-hoese at Richmond, Minn. There she easily led her class and almost invariably carried off the reward of merit cards. She finished the later years of her grade schooling in Dakota, where she completed her work with high honors under Miss Cora Dickson, now Mrs. Frank Morrisey of Winona.
Miss Winter is a graduate of the literary course of the Winona High School having completed the subjects of that course with the exceptionally fine average of 95.32. Thruout her school career here she had done tplendid work and taken much interest and active.part in the different interests oŁ the High school. She has been on the Radiograph staff and was editor in chief of a recent number. She also did splendid work as a member of the Junior Dramatic society a rear ago.

Second Honors Winner
Rolland Wilson, the salutatorion oi his class, is the son of Mr. and Mrs, C . E. Wilson, also of Dakota, Minn. Mr. Wilson was born in 1895, and as a student of Dakota, proved himself very competent in his school work, re ceiying very high marks. He completed his school work there in 1908 under Miss Agnes Hatch, four years before he took up his High school ionrse in Winona. C- B. Wilson, his father, is a physician and surgeon at Dakota. Mr. Wilson will be a graduate of .he classical course of the High school with an average grade of 94.68. Mr. Wilson has proved himself a consistent and excellent student all thru his school career and he has also taken an active interest in the affaiTs of Sis class and school. Conddentally, both Miss Winter and Mr Wilson, both residents of Dakota, started school at the same time and will complete their preparatory school work together with very high grades, the highest of their class, a worthy showing. An interesting feature of the honor roll which those people lead, is the fact that half of its members are boys and half are girls.

Livermore, California; he was quite fussy and crying so I went out to the
kitchen to warm up a bottle for him. While in the kitchen warming the Craig
quit crying all of a sudden; immediately, I knew something was wrong - I ran to
him and he had stopped breathing! I ran to the telephone and called the fire
department paramedic unit which arrived very quickly -- thank goodness as my
mouth to mouth resuscitation did not seem to work. Craig was rushed to a Kaiser
Hospital in Walnut Creek some thirty miles away by ambulance. Enroute the
medicssaid that Craig stopped breathing two more times. When the doctors got
him to surgery they drained over one cup of blood from his head. Craig never
recovered from that ordeal that night. His mother and dad traded shifts every
night for over a year caring for our son who had extended crying spells every
night. After a while, the doctors and leaders in the church counseled us to
put him a nursing care home or a state hospital in order to have more children
and to live a somewhat normal life. Craig lived his life as a vegetable - no
normal senses like sight, and hearing; he died of atrophy of his body functions
atthe age of eleven at Sonoma State Hospital in Californa. A highlight of his
life was to be administered to by Elder Spencer W. Kimball, and apostle of the
Lord Jesus Christ and his grandfather, Ezra Curtis Payne. The blessing given
to Craig by Elder Kimball promised restoration of his total body functions or
death within a few years -- the latter occured; a merciful blessing to all of
us. Craig is now (5/4/91), and has been for many years now, the family focal
point for the 'forever family' truth taught by the Savior.

Craig Steven, eleven months younger than his oldest brother Larry, suffered
a subdural hematomawhen he was six months old. He quit breathing one Tuesday

449 Czech Immigration To Ennis, Texas
The 1880's

From the Cesky Hlas, Vol.12,No.4, November 1997 by Frank Mikula


The 1880's were tumultuous times in the land of Moravia. The native people were under the rule of the Emperor of Austria. Civil liberties were at a minimum, the economy was in a shambles, arable land had long ago been divided and subdivided, new farm land was impossible to obtain. Two and three families within a residence were common. Wars and rumors of war abounded. Native sons were being conscripted to serve and die for causes foreign to their homeland.

Letters from relatives in the new land were frequently arriving. Although conceding that the work was hard and the climate could be severe, the messages extolled the virtues of the home we so love, our great state of Texas! Everyone, it seemed, could own land, if they so chose. Crops were abundant, cattle for dairy and consumption purposes were everywhere, horses were in ample supply. Comfortable housing was being quickly erected. Numerous Moravian natives, suppressed Austrian citizens, began to crowd the offices of their village magistrates seeking official approval to emigrate. The applications, extant in official archives, portray in vivid detail the condition of the times.

Dateline New York - 25 March 1884.
Today the NEKAR, a sailing steam-assisted cargo vessel of German registry docked at New York Harbor. As is now common, she bore numerous immigrants to our country. Fortunately, the majority of them are destined to populate the frontier State of Texas and will be with us for only a brief stay. We wish them all good fortune!

The NEKAR was owned by the firm Norduetscher Lloyd of Bremen. From 1881 through at least 1885 she plied the Atlantic between Bremen and New York on a monthly basis. In addition to cargo, thousands of immigrants made the passage within her hold. Subsequent tales relate the hardships of this crossing - but that is another story.

Arriving in "Amerika" aboard the NECKAR on that cold, foggy, March day were the following souls. Most ultimately settled in the Ennis, Texas area and, today, their descendants have multiplied many hundred-fold and made enormous contributions to the homeland once adopted by their ancestors.

All his sons served in the Revolutionary War.

GBFA p.30: He was alive in ca. 1776 when his sons served in the Revolutionary War. Josiah Barney was admitted Freeman at Newport on May 4, 1725 (R.I.C.R. IV:359). On March 16, 1731/2 he sold land in Rehoboth to Thomas Ormsbee (Bk. 26, p.89). On Feb. 34, 1734, called "cordwainer," with wife Freelove of Rehoboth, he sold a meadow in Attleboro to Henry Sweeting (Bk. 22, p.250). Josiah Barney with wife Freelove "of Rehoboth" sold lands in Rehoboth on April 27, 1745, March 1, 1749 and March 26, 1750.

Between 1737-47 he had tradesmen living in his household

BARNEY GENEALOGY of Angeline (Barney) Mason (filed with George S. Barney letter of 1910): -- here it messes up a little bit; assumes that this Josiah's father is that child of Jacob and Hannah (Johnson) Barney; some say that child was named Josiah, others say Hannah; nearly all researchers believe the child died in infancy. "I wish there was any way of getting at the generation between what I think must have been the two Josiahs, but I know of none."

The Vital Records of Rehoboth, Mass. CLEARLY SHOW that Israel Barney married
Elizabeth BARRETT. Mr. Preston was wrong in identifying her as Elizabeth
Brackett, dau. of Josiah and Elizabeth (Waldo) Brackett. Thus, while her death and burial are correct, the birth information in the GBFA (and derived sources such as "Barneys of America") are not correct. Her gravestone at the old cemetery at Rumford says,"Elizabeth Barney, Ye wife of Mr. Israel Barney, Died April Ye 9th, 1743, in Ye 66th Year of her age."

Letter to EDP, Aug. 15, 1908, from Mrs. Lund R. Barney, Springfield, Mass.:
"Josiah (5) Barney, b. 7 Dec. 1698, married Freelove Wheaton on 31 July 1724 at Little Compton, R.I."

WFT #3:0298 says that the last child, Abigail, b.1755, was the daughter of a second marriage of Josiah, to _____ Stewart.
