MOSES and HANNAH BARNARD were descendants of one Isaac Barnard, who came to America 
during the later part of the seventeenth century, and settled in or near Amesbury, Massachusetts;  
his children settled around him; one of them, Tristam, reared a large family of children who
settled in Weare about 1790; their neighborhood is still called "Barnard hill;" their names were
Isaac, David, Edmund, John, Tristam, Hannah, Mary, and Jerusha.  John purchased a farm in Weare, 
but died in Amesbury 1795, before removing to Weare, leaving a widow, whose name was Dorothy 
Currier, and eight children, viz: Jerusha, Polly, Dorothy, Moses, John, Miriam, Elephalet and 
Hannah.  Hannah married John Gregg (see Gregg family).  Moses, born 1781, married Polly Gove 
(see Gove family),  settled in Acworth 1800; in 1802 they settled on the farm where they lived 
together 62 years, and where the widow now resides, aged 83, esteemed by her neighbors and 
idolized by her children; her residence in town extends through two of the three generations that 
lived here since the settlement; she has lived to see her great-great-grandchild, Willie C. Mann
