• Notes

  birth: WFT #2:2108 has 28 Nov 1762; WFT #3:2188 has 28 Nov 1762 children: WFT #2:2108 lists only two: Nancy and Shubel P.; so does WFT #3:2188 The descendants in WFT #2:2108 and #3:2188 appear to be identical; probably from the same WFT submitter. "The History of Woodstock, Connecticut," by Clarence Winthrop Bowen GBFA p.58: "untraced; but could she have been the "Polly" who md. Shubael Short in 1782?" WCB: Apparently we don't know exactly who the Polly Barney was who md. Shubael Short. She was probably either #328 Polly -- but Mr. Preston wasn't positive that there was a daughter Polly in this family -- or she was #348 Mary Barney, dau. of Benaiah and Anna (Goff) Barney (p.58 of GBFA). So, lacking other evidence, I am linking Shubael Short with #348 Mary Barney. But we don't even know that he married "Miss" Polly Barney -- she may have been Mrs. Polly (_____) Barney. Descendants on "World Family Tree" 2:2108; gives her birth as 28 Nov 1762. Still doesn't solve the problem as to who her parents were. LDS PRF #6, Bruce A. & Katherine J. Hamlin, 512 Quarter St., Rochester, MI 48307, Date 10 Oct 1999 has her as the daughter of Daniel and Rachel (Bowen) Barney, b. 1764 in Swansea, Bristol Co., Mass. Children: I had Cyrenus, Nancy, & Shubel; the rest from LDS PRF #6, Bruce & Katherine Hamlin; birth places, Calais Township,Washington Co.,Vt., according to the Hamlins.
