• Notes

  name may have been spelled "Benajah" His 3rd wife may have been Hannah (Goff) Ormsbee, widow of Daniel Ormsbee. Swansea Vital Records V.G. Barney manuscript Vital Records of Rehoboth, pp.530, 20, 21 Mass. Marriage Records (DAR 1968) "Jacob Barney, 1634" pp 123, 127 by Mary E. Wesbrook, 1982. No children were mentioned from either of his 2nd or 3rd marriage to Bethiah Goff or Hannah Ormsbee. Aunt Betty's notes have his marriage to Anne Goff as 2 June 1768. She has this date in three places, but it seems to be wrong, since they had children born as early as 1764. Letter from George S. Barney, about 1910: Included was a BARNEY GENEALOGY: "This record was compiled from one belonging to Benaiah Barney, brother of the first Daniel, by Mrs. Angeline Mason, eldest daughter of Mason Barney." Burial: from "Barney Family" manuscript sent by Lynda Schonover of St. Petersburg, Fla.
