Biography

Biography

James Barnard was born about 1787 in Massachusetts. Some compiled sources indicate that he was born at Lynn in Essex County, but no evidence proving this claim has been seen. His parents and ancestry remain unknown at this time.

The earliest known record of James Barnard in Georgia is his appearance on the 1806 Liberty County Tax Digest. He was living in the Canoochee District at that time. James entered the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery from Liberty County as an unmarried man and was allowed one draw. He also took title to a 200 acre land grant in Liberty County in 1807.

James Barnard was married about 1808, probably in Liberty County, Georgia. This compiler has seen no evidence which would identify her, but compiled sources indicate that she was Nancy Reeves. There were no Reeves families living in Liberty County in 1808, so this identification has become problematic.

James Barnard and his wife had the following known issue:

1) Mary Ann Barnard - born about 1809 in Liberty Co. GA, married Samuel D. Smith. 2) Sarah Ann Barnard - born 31 May 1813 in Tattnall Co., GA, married Joseph DeLoach. 3) unidentified son - born about 1815. 4) Isabelle Barnard - born about 1817 in Tattnall Co., GA, married Isaac DeLoach. 5) Daniel Barnard - born 12 Sep 1818 in Tattnall Co., GA, married Harriet J. Bacon. /* 6) Asa Barnard - born 30 Sep 1824 in Tattnall Co., GA, married Hannah Todd.

The Canoochee District of Liberty County was cut out into Tattnall County in 1811. Therefore, at that time the Barnard homestead became part of Tattnall County. The James Barnard family became residents of Tattnall County without moving.

In 1818 James Barnard became embroiled in lawsuit over a debt of $205.72 he had borrowed from with John R. Warner of Savannah. The case received a jury trial but Barnard lost and was ordered to pay back the priniciple and costs. Barnard appealed but lost again. The lawsuit drug on for several years.

Also in 1818 James Barnard was granted a liquor license in Tattnall County, receiving permission to sell alcohol from his home near the Canoochee River.

James Barnard was last known living on 8 October 1827 when the Inferior Court of Tattnall County granted him permission to defer any further jury duty. At that time he claimed to be over 60 years of age. His exact date of death and burial site are unknown at this time. His widow was last known living in 1830.

The info above is NOT from my research, so I have not confirmed it. It does however seem to be accurate.
