Biography
He was very prominent in town and public affairs on Nantucket, having been chosen many times to serve in all the important offices. He was a trader, and the court records show that he was fined in 1709 for selling liquor to the Indians.
Regarding his home, Mr. Worth says, "east of the Elihu Coleman house is the Mill-Brook, and a short distance further east, on the south sideof the road near a cluster of willow trees, was once a house which was the homestead of Robert Barnard. Directly across the road lived Nathaniel Barnard. The present road was merely a path for many years later. The house lot of Thomas Barnard on which the house of Nathaniel was located, was about 1000 feet square, and southwest of it was the lot of Robert Barnard. These lots extended northeast and southwest, andcomprised twenty acres each. The house of Robert cannot be exactly located. But the high land between the Mill-Brook swamp and the Indianboundary line was substantially comprised within the two Barnard lots."
In 1670 he was importing pine boards from the Merrimac (for building homes on Nantucket).
