Notes:
The History of Marlborough did not have a birthdate for Susanna BarnesbutI had one in other notes with no source. I used this date and placeofbirth. She was the adopted daughter of Dea. John Barnes and a daughter ofThomasBarnes of Marlborough - from the History of Marlborough. HerfatherThomas died in 1679 which is probably why she was adopted beingonly 3years of age. An assumption on my part questions whether the following information onaJohn Barnes from Marlborough could have been that adoptive father.Pg.319 (History of Marlborough) asfollows: "John Barnes was in Marlborough early and married Johanna in 1664.Shedied 29 Oct 1712 and he died 8 Sep 1715. I have not been able totracehis lineage with certainty. His will mentions William Barnes ofHaddam,Ct and John Barnes Jr. of Marlborough as his "kinsman" Heprobably hadno children as we find no record of any and none arementioned in hiswill. As he refers to the children of Thomas Barnes ashis "kinsmen" hewas probably a brother or cousin of Thomas. He alsoremembers thechildren of Supply Weeks, who married a dauther of ThomasBarnes. JohnBarnes was a deacon and probably one of the first deacons ofthe churchof Marlborough. Having no children, his family becameextinct. The families of Rich and Thomas Barnes as far as we can ascertain,werenot connected."

Notes:
Admitted to full communion at Dorchester 12 Jan 1727-8; living atRye,Westchester Co, N. Y. in 1747 in which year he conveyed to his bro.Johnhis own share of his father's estate. There is no trace of him ineitherthe town or county records there. He may have been the ancester ofafamily of the name in Virginia. One reference says that George, Joseph, and Alderson are his sons.Anotherman in internet says those sons arenot Elijahs but belong to a William born 1704 Westmoreland Countyt, VAdied1775 King George County, VA and his wife Mary Alderson, daughterofGeorge Alderson. This refernece had definite proof so it's morelikelyright.
