From Joseph Hartwell Barrett’s article “Thomas Barrett of Braintree, William Barrett of Cambridge, and their early descendants”:261

“William Barrett bought the house and land of William French in Cambridge, near the College, 10 June, 1656; was selectman in 1671 and 1681; and served as lieutenant in Philip's war. He married 1st, 19 Aug, 1656, Sarah Champney (daughter of Elder Richard) [SIC: widow of Joseph Champney, son of Elder Richard; she was the daughter of John Poole and Margaret], who died 21 Aug, 1661; 2nd, 19 May, 1662, Mary Barnard (daughter of John and Phoebe of Watertown), who died 28 March, 1673; 3rd, 8 Oct, 1673, Mary Sparhawk (daughter of Nathaniel and Patience), who died the same month; and 4th, Margaret Bartlett, who survived him.

“William died 19 March, 1689,"aged about 60". His estate (Probate Records, 1691) was divided between his widow Margaret and his children. John (who had a double portion as the eldest), William, Edward, Samuel, Thomas, Margaret (to whom was given a "negro maid servant") and Lydia, the youngest daughter. Bartholomew unites with the other heirs in a deed in 1702. There were three Barretts who came to America about the same time. Thomas Barrett of Braintree, William and Humphrey. It is not known if they were brothers.”
