A "Lieutentant" from Plymouth County, MA, who settled in Merrimack NH previous to 1746, residing where Dana Hutchinson was living in 1885; served Merrimack as "Tythingman," Constable, Selectman Treasurer, Deer Keeper, Fence Viewer, Tax Collection, Sealer of Weights and Measures, Moderator and Grand Juror; is shown on the 1787 Tax list, District 2. The homestead farm of Thomas Barnes sat on Patten Road, on what was Lot #40 of the township. The land transfer to him for this property states,"All my right title and interested..derived to me by my Uncle John Cantebury..transfer of John Barns of Hingham, Massachusetts to his son Thomas Barns, a carpenter living in Narragansett Township Number 5." Thomas, in 1787, sold his son Cornelius the Lots #40 and $93. In 1801 Thomas received a bond from Cornelius and in turn relinquished the dwelling house. This house was sold to the Merrimack Historical Society after 1946, and was dismantled (supposedly to be reassembled at a later date).

Carl Ball of Shorewood WI, a descendant of both Thomas and Josiah wrote to me saying the following: "Actually, Asa and Esther removed to Chester VT ca 1801 as did some of their children. They are buried there in the Brookside Cemetery, as is their son Josiah. Son Thomas is buried in Rochester VT. Daughter Mary/Polly married Isaac Caryll in Chester VT and went with him to NY; she's buried in the old cemetery in West Richmondville, NY. I believe Nathan remained in Merrimack and Asa died in Sharon, NH. I'm not sure about Cornelius or Anna - there are a lot of Cornelius Barnes's."

===============================
From: The History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire;
Philadelphia: J.W. Lewis & Co., 1885, under the section about Litchfield NH shows the following:

DR. JOSEPH BARNES, who died October 29, 1781, at the age of fifty-five years and ten months, came from Lincoln, England. For about twenty years he practiced medicine in Litchfield, and, as had already been stated, was surgeon in Colonel David Gilman's regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was elected delegate to the County Congress, which assembled at Amherst.
   Among his descendants is Royal D. Barnes, son of Warren M. Barnes, of Litchfield. Royal D. was born in Litchfield, June 18, 1854. After fitting for college he commenced the study of law, in the winter of 1874, at Nashua, NH. He was admitted to the Hillsborough County bar in January, 1878. Since his admission he has been located at Nashua [NH], and has been three times elected city solicitor.

As shown above, Dr. Joseph Barnes, b. Oct 29, 1781 was the son of John & Elizabeth (Vinton) Barnes of Hingham, Mass. I have been able to find Royal D., living in the household of Warren M. Barnes of Litchfield in 1860 and 1870. The Rebekah Barnes shown in the same census would have been the wife of Reuben, living in Litchfield in 1850, so possibly Warren is a son of Reuben. I have not yet been able to connect that line to this family, but very probably they are related.

===============================
The following can be found in the "History of Merrmimack NH"
page 166
"Thomas Barnes petitioned the town in 1783 to see if they would pay anything for services done by his negro man as a bounty. In doing research on the Revolutionary War, we found a negro man named Ceasar Barnes, who served in the war from Merrimack. We could not find any birth record for this man, nor could we found where he came from. He did not own any property in Merrimack. Soldiers in the Revolutionary War were paid a bounty and slaves often took the name of their owner. This leads us to believe that Ceasar Barnes might have been Thomas Barne's slave.

CEASAR BARNES, d. July 4, 1804, Washington, N.H., m. April 17, 1798 Fanny Livingston of Washington, N.H. (Revolutionary War soldier). Children:
1. John
2. Pamela (Permelia),

ANCESTORS OF THE CHAMBERLAIN/CHAMBERLIN
FAMILY OF MERRIMACK NH

THOMAS-1 CHAMBERLAIN, b. 1615/1617 in England, d. after 8 February 1691/92; married 1) Mary Parker; m2) ?Mary Jones
"Thomas was probably born in Essex, England. He was probably a brother of Edmund and William chamberlain, also of Woburn, who maved to Chelmsford and Bellerica respectively. There is an allegation that Thomas was the son of Francis Chamberlain or Virginia who married in Essex, England in 1615 Agnes Hayden. It seems possile but improbable. Children by first wife are Anna, Thomas, Samuel, Mary and possibly John. There are many descendants through his sons Thomas and Samuel, but no known descendants through his son John and daughters Anna and Mary.
There were no children born to his second wife." (from Dr. Joseph Druse, Chairperson of Thomas line, World Chamberlain Genealogical Society)

Captain John came from Groton, Mass. in 1734, and built mills at Souhegan. He built the first bridge across the Souhegan, at the village, at his own expense. He surrounded his log cabin with pickets as a defense against the Indians, and when he went to work in his field he took his family with him for safety. He was a man of great powers of both mind and body, and was promiment in town affairs for many years. Once, when a member of the Provincial Assembly, a member of the Council, vexed at their refusing to concur in some measure proposed by the Council, said in his passion, -- "I wish the Assembly were all in heaven." The ready reply of Chamberlain was "I should not object to that, sir, were it not that we should lose the pleasure of the company of His Majesty's Council."

END NOTES:
Surname: CHAMBERLAIN
Source 1: Historical Sketch of Groton, MA by Dr. Samuel A. Green. p.59
In the summer of 1722 the Provincial governments of MA and NH offered a bounty of a hundred pounds for every Indian scalp that should be taken and shown to the proper authorities. This legislation incited volunteers to scour the winderness for the purpose of hunting the savages and with this motive, Captain John Lovewell of Dunstable organized a company which soon became famous. The story of Lovewell's Fight was for a long time repeatedly told in Groton and there is scarcely a person who has not from early infancy heard the particulars of that eventful conflict. It was in the spring of l725 that Capt. Lovewell with thirty-four men, fought a famous Indian chief named Paugus at the head of abt eighty savages near the shores of a pond in Pequawket, now within the limits of Fryeburg, Maine and known as Lovewell's Pond. Of this little spartan band, seven belonged to Groton, MA and one of them, John Chamberlain by name distinguished himself by killing the Indian Leader. Green's note: "for the fullest account of the Fight see pamphlet entitled: 'Lovewell Lamented' by Thomas Symmes, V.D.M, Boston, 1725".
Source 2: History of the old township of Dunstable : Nashua, Nashville, Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield, and Merrimac, N.H., Dunstable and Tyngsborough, Mass.; Nashua N.H.: C.T. Gill, 1846, 298 pgs.
p. 127
Paugus.. was slain by John Chamberlain, who afterwards settled in Merrimac. After the heat of the conflict was over, weary and faint, Paugus and Chamberlain both went down to the pond to quench their thirst, and to wash out their guns which had become foul by continued firing. There they met and at once recognized each other, for Paugus was known personally to many of the company. Seeing the useless condition of each other's guns, they tacitly agreed to a truce while they were cleaning them. DUring this process, some words were exchanged, and Paugus said to Chamberlain, "It is you or I." Cautiously but with haste they proceeded in their work, for it was a case of life or death. Paugus had nearly finished loading, and was priming his piece, when Chamberlain struck the breech of his gun violently upon the ground, thus causing it to prime itself, and shot Paugus through the heart, the bullet of Paugus at the same instant grazing the head of Chamberlain [Rev. Mr. Symme's narrative of the fight. Allen's Chelmsford, 37].

Excerpt from poem: "Lovewell's Fight-A Ballad"
"But Chamberlain of Dunstable,
(One whom a savage ne'er shall slay,--)
Met Paugus by the water side
And shot him dead upon that day."

Thus ended Lovewell's War.
