OENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BAKNSTABLE FAMILIES. 1)7
Perhaps the reader may think I am severe in my criticisms
on the Rev. Mr. Deane. Ail I do is to take his own
statements and place them in a position where their absurdity
will be seen. No one has a higher respect for Mr. Deane
than the writer. He was a pioneer in the work, and the
wonder is that he has made so few, rather than so many
mistakes.
In his article on the Gushing family, he says that Samuel
Barker, Esq., was a son of John Barker, Esq., and that
he married in 1706, Hannah Cushing. This is much more
probable than his other statement that Samuel was the son
of Williams.
The children of this Samuel were, Samuel, Ignatius,
Ezekiel, Hannah and Deborah. Samuel manned Deborah
Gorham of Barnstable. The Crocker's at West Barnstable
are also connected by marriage with the Barkers.
The Bordens of Fall River probably descend from Stephen,
son of William of Barnstable, and not from the Rhode
Island families of the name.
