THE BARNES FAMILY OF LONG ISLAND

William m. first, Thomasina Howell, dau. of Richard Howell, and m. second, Thomasina Shepard, dau. of Owen Shepard, Esq. By his first marriage he had five daus., whose names are unknown. By his second marriage he had five sons and eight daus. A tradition handed down by descendants is that three of the boys and two girls came to America, and settled at East and South Hampton, Long Island. These three sons, William, Charles and Joshua, settled there, but the families of the two daus. are not known. Owen, another brother, remained in England. A similarity in names might indicate that Thomas of New Haven was the missing son of this family, but there is nothing known of the ancestry of the latter, and he is recorded as an independent ancestor.
