"James T. Barnard.  The name of Barnard, or Bernard, is one of the most 
ancient of surnames, being first taken from Roche-Bernard, an old fortified 
manor-house of Normandy, and the ancestor of the Chester and Delaware 
county families of this name was Richard Barnard, who was a large landowner 
in the vicinity of Chester, Pennsylvania, as early as 1683, served in the 
capacity of grand juror at Chester in 1686, and died previous to Mary 5, 
1698.  Richard Barnard and his wife, Frances Barnard, were the parents of 
seven children, among whom was a son, Richard Barnard, born in 1684, who 
married about the year 1715, Ann Taylor, daughter of Abiah Taylor, and set-
tled near Doe Run, West Marlborough township, then known as 'Hilltown,' 
where he had previously purchased between four hundred and five hundred 
acres of the Simcock tract, some of which is still in the possession of his 
descendants.  In 1726 he became the owner of about two hundred acres in 
Newlin, also an adjoining tract in the township of East Marlborough.

"Richard Barnard, son of Richard and Ann (Taylor) Barnard, of Newlin, 
married, January 3, 1754, Susanna Eckhoff, daughter of David and Winnifred 
Eckhoff.  After the death of his wife, Mr. Barnard married, March 16, 1763, 
Lettice Baker, daughter of Joseph and Mark Baker, of Goshen, and ten chil-
dren were the issue of this union.  Two children were born to Richard and 
Susanna (Eckhoff) Barnard - Jeremiah and Rachel.  Jeremiah Barnard, only 
son of Richard and Susanna (Eckhoff) Barnard, was born December 2, 1754, 
married, October 25, 1780, at London Grove Meeting, Elizabeth Passmore, 
born March 13, 1759, daughter of George and Margaret (Strode) Passmore, or 
West Marlborough township.  Their children were: Susanna, Jeremiah, George, 
Margaret, Richard, Mary, Samuel, Rachel, John, Elizabeth, and Anna Barnard.  
Jeremiah Barnard died January 27, 1837, and his wife's death occurred 
October 13, 1847.

"Jeremiah Barnard, Jr., eldest son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Passmore) 
Barnard, was born January 20, 1783, married, April 11, 1804, Abigail Pusey, 
born April 6, 1784, daughter of Ellis and Abigail (Brinton) Pusey, of London 
Grove, and they were the parents of the following named children, of whom 
the first three and the youngest, Philena, died in early life, the remainder 
living to an advanced age: Joshua, Ellis P., Lydia, James, Pusey, Elizabeth, 
Susan, and Philena Barnard.  Jeremiah Barnard, father of these children, 
died February 15, 1845.

"Pusey Barnard, fourth son of Jeremiah and Abigail (Pusey) Barnard, was born 
December 6, 1810, in the vicinity of Doe Run, West Marlborough township.  He 
was reared and educated in that neighborhood, and later removed to Upper 
Oxford township.  He was reared and educated in that neighborhood, and later 
removed to Upper Oxford township.  Here he purchased a farm of one hundred 
and forty-two acres on which he resided until 1865, when he removed to Chris-
tiana, Lancaster county, but in 1883 he returned to the old homestead, where 
his death occurred in October, 1884.  Mr. Barnard married Phebe Coates, and 
after her decease he was united in marriage to Susan Walker Pownall, widow 
of Moses Pownall.  Pusey and Phebe (Coates) Barnard were the parents of four 
children - James; Mary Louisa, who married Brinton Walker, of Christiana, 
Lancaster county, but her death occurred a few years after her marriage; 
Rebecca, and Anna Maria, both of whom died in infancy.

"James T. Barnard, only son of Pusey and Phebe (Coates) Barnard, was born 
on the old homestead in Upper Oxford township, Chester county, Pennsylvania, 
February 13, 1836.  He received his early educational advantages in the 
common schools of the neighborhood, and later was a student at the West 
Chester Academy.  He began his business career as an agriculturist, being 
employed on his father's farm up to the time of his marriage; he then pur-
chased a farm in Lancaster county, on which he conducted operations for 
four years, and at the expiration of this period of time he returned to the 
old homestead in Upper Oxford, where he led a retired life, until 1902, 
when he moved to Christiana, Lancaster county, having given the management 
of the farm into the hands of his son, Harry W. Barnard.  The farm is one 
of the most productive in that section of the county, being well cultivated 
and improved, and for a number of years its managers have made a specialty 
of breeding Holstein thoroughbred cattle.

"Mr. Barnard is a loyal and public-spirited citizen, and has always been 
ready and willing to aid his country to the extent of his ability.  In 1864 
he answered an emergency call for troops to serve during the Civil war, was 
sent to Hagerstown, Maryland, and performed military duty there for a 
period of twenty days.  Since attaining his majority he has always cast his 
vote with the Republican party, and has held the local offices of auditor 
and school director, serving in the latter capacity for sixteen years.  He 
is a birthright member of the Society of Friends.

"On October 18, 1860, Mr. Barnard married Dorothea Davis, born near Chester 
City, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, October 11, 1838.  She was reared there 
until she attained the age of seventeen years, when her parents, William S. 
and Catherine (Engle) Davis, in 1855, purchased a farm in Lancaster county, 
Pennsylvania, whither they removed.  The children born of this marriage
