To fit the correct age of the New England born Barber/Barbour’s he might be the Isaac born at Simsbury, Connecticut 25 February 1735/6, the son of Isaac And Mary (Adams) Barber. [iii] [A thorough search of records into the life of Barber has still left many unanswered questions. Both Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati and NEHGS welcome any new information regarding the same].
