Thomas Barnes, Sr

THOMAS BARNES was a wealthy citizen of Southington, Conn. His father, Captain Ebenezer Barnes, was commissioned ensign of the militia company of Southington in Farmington, in October 1737 and Captain in May 1742. (Source: Connecticut Colonial Record, Vol. viii, 129, 449). The house, which he built in the south part of the present town of Bristol, was still standing about 1913, the oldest in "old Farmington." He died in 1756, having married 8 April 1699, Deborah, daughter of Samuel and Deborah Orvis. Thomas Barnes, father of Ebenezer, and the founder of this branch of the Barnes family, was a soldier in the Pequot War from Hartford, Connecticut. His second wife, Mary, daughter of John Andrews, of Hartford, and the mother of his youngest sons, Thomas and Ebenezer, survived him, and was named in his will of 9 June 1688

Jared Pierpont Barnes, a retired capitalist of Topeka, Kan., represents a type of culture and refinement characteristic in those descended from New England ancestors. His great-great-grandfather, Thomas Barnes, was born at Hartford, Conn., June 21, 1703, and died about 1744. He was the second in a family of sixteen children of Ebenezer Barnes, the youngest son of Thomas Barnes, of Hartford, Conn. The latter was one of the pioneers of Connecticut. He and his son, Ebenezer, and grandson, Thomas, were among the leaders of their day in advancing the cause of civic and religious liberty. Thomas Barnes married Hannah Day and they became the parents of eight children, of whom Phineas, the great-grandfather of Jared P., was the third in order of birth. He was born at Southington, Conn., July 7, 1730, was reared there and married Phebe Bement. They resided in Southington, Conn., until 1770, when they removed to West Stockbridge, Mass., which remained their home until their emigration westward, about 1790, when they became pioneers of Pompey, N. Y. They were the parents of twelve children, of whom Asa, the grandfather of Jared P., was the fourth, his birth occurring at Southington, Conn., Sept. 23, 1760. He was reared there and at West Stockbridge, Mass., married Mary Day, and they became the parents of nine children, of whom Asa Barnes, the father of Jared P., was the eldest. He was born at West Stockbridge, Mass., Nov. 18, 1788, and on March 10, 1813, married Amanda Hall, who was born April 1, 1794, and died Nov. 14, 1830. His second marriage occurred on Jan. 17, 1831, when Miss Amanda Belding became his wife. She was born Oct. 23, 1811, and died Jan. 5, 1861. There were eight children born to Asa and Amanda (Belding) Barnes, viz.: Friend Belding, Jared Pierpont, Elias Day, Philetus, Eliza M., Amanda E., Ransom Root and Mary C. After a long and useful life the father passed away at Warners, N. Y., Jan. 11, 1871.
