Humphrey Barrett settled in Concord in 1639 ; admitted a freeman, May 6, 1657. It is supposed that he came from the county of Kent, England. There came with him a wife and three sons, John, Thomas, and Humphrey, Jr. Respecting the son John, it is not definitely known where he settled. Shattuck supposes him to have been of Marlboro. The records of probate, however, show that John Barrett of Marlboro had a brother William Barrett of Cambridge, and Thomas Barrett of Marlboro, formerly of Cambridge.
Thomas Barrett, here mentioned, in his will, Jan. 16, 1672, made a little before his death, names brothers John and William, and a sister Lydia Cheever. As Humphrey, Sr., had a son Thomas, who was drowned in the North River at Concord, in 1652, leaving a son Oliver, who died in 1671, and a daughter Mary, who married James Smedley, both of these children being mentioned in the wills of Humphrey Barrett and his wife Mary Barrett as their grandchildren, it therefore follows that John Barrett of Marlboro was not a son of Humphrey Barrett of Concord.
