THOMAS BARNARD merchant, P.O. Bristol, son of Thomas and 
Rebecca (Eastman) Barnard, was born in New Hampshire, June 
14, 1831.  His grandparents came from England to New 
Hampshire, where his parents were born.  His father and 
grandfather were farmers.  Thomas, our subject, was the 
seventh child in a family of eight children.  He was reared 
on the farm and received a common school education.  Early 
in life he learned the tinsmith's trade, and was in the tin 
and stove business in New York city ten years.  In 1875 he 
came to Bristol and established himself in the same 
business, to which he has since added coal and wood.  He was 
first married in 1871.  His wife died in 1876, and in 1883 
he married his present wife.  They are members of the 
Presbyterian church.  Mr Barnard is a democrat, an Odd 
Fellow, and a Knight of Pythias.  Hon. Daniel Barnard, a 
prominent attorney of New Hampshire, and several terms a 
state senator, is a brother of our subject.
