John Barnard, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), was born, say 1607.1 He died before 23 June 1646,2,3 when he was buried at Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, "23d--4m".4,1

John married Phebe Whiting, daughter of Anthony Whiting and Anne Sherman, at England, before 1632.1,5

Anderson gives ample reasoning for the 8 children listed. However, for the age of Benjamin, he cites the Genealogical Dictionary for Maine and New Hampshire, which does not give a source for saying Benjamin was about 26 in 1676. However, he must have been several years older than that, his father having been buried 23 Jun 1646. Bond placed Elizabeth as the last child, birthdate unknown, and Anderson places her birth in 1648, again well beyond John's death. Alternatively, given that the mother, Phebe, was herself a twin, Elizabeth and Benjamin might very well also be twins, born about the time of John's death in June 1646 and are so placed in this account.6,7,8

John, age 30, wife Phebe, 27, sons John, 2, and Samuel, 1, embarked at Ipswich, England, 10 Apr 1634, for New England in the Elizabeth, William Andrews, master.9

John was admitted freeman 4 Mar 1634/5, was a proprietor of Watertown, 1636-7, and a selectman in 1644.10
