453	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.

Probates, 8:229; 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.	Barney, Josiah (I8416)
