  • Notes 
    • 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.)
