- Mentioned in father's will, so researchers say he was "living in 1692." He
is probably the Samuel Barney who sold land in Rehoboth in 1700
Letter, Jan. 25, 1926, from R. C. Barney, 425 East Beardsley Ave.,
Elkhart, Ind.: "... here's a curious thing which makes me think that my
family are descendants from the New England Barneys and Uncle George was
wrong about his statement of the four Barneys coming from Ireland. In
Everett Hosmer Barney's book, he gives a Samuel Barney, b. 1679 and living
in 1692, but gives no children, and Uncle George says his
great-grandfather was named Samuel. Samuelwas one of the Children of Jacob
Barney 1634. His son John, b. 1665, married Mary Throope, and Uncle
George's middle name was Throope; while this doesn't prove anything, still
it is such an odd middle name that one would think it was taken from the
name of some favorite relative and this account for it."
