The Early Settlers of Nantucket: Their Associates and Descendants. Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1896; 1901 (second, enlarged edition). Reprinted: Tuttle: 1980. Reprinted: Baltimore: Clearfield Pub. Co., 1993. p. 64-65: "Robert Barnard, "husbandman," of Salisbury and Andover, removed to Nantucket in 1663, and died there in 1682. He married Joanna Harvey, [footnote: Some authorities say daughter of --- Harvey, of Plymouth Colony] who died in 1705. He had a son, John Barnard, born 1642, who married Bethiah Folger, daughter of Peter Folger, and a daughter, Mary Barnard, who married her cousin, Nathaniel Barnard, son of Thomas and Eleanor Barnard. "Hoyt [in "Old families of Salisbury and Amesbury] says: "Letters of administration on the estate of Robert Barnard, Senior, late of Andover, Yoeman, who died intestate, were granted to his grandson, Robert Barnard, February 1st, 1714-15. Stephen Barnard, son of the elder Robert Barnard, signed a statement that he was incapable of acting by reason of age, and asking that his son Robert be appointed. James Bridges and Stephen Barnard were witnesses." "This administration was more than thirty years after the death of the intestate, and as a lawsuit with the State is mentioned in connection with the appointment of the administrator, it is probable that it was due to some claim made in behalf of the State. "Nathaniel Barnard, in his will, refers to "my father-in-law Robert Barnard," which leaves no doubt of the fact that Mary Barnard, daughter of Robert, was at one time his wife. "As he names no wife in said will it is a natural conclusion that he outlived her." [S273] FamilySearch.org, FamilySearch FamilyTree, Pope, Charles Henry.

Wife Joanna died at Nantucket March 31, 1705. Children: Hannah (married John Stevens), John b. at Salisbury March 2, 1642, Stephen, Mary born at Andover April 8, 1658 [1648]." "He died at Nantucket about 1682. Administrator of his estate was granted to his son [grandson] Robert B. Feb 1, 1714/5, "after he had been dead more than 30 years."
