Barnard-7259 and King-4790 appear to represent the same person because: these were intended to be the same person. Hundreds of people have incorrectly shown his name as Thomas King Barnard since he came over with the Barnard family. Ancestry compounded the confusion by indexing him that way. Please merge so we can get this issue resolved. Thanks.

With the sources located/shown, this man should have his surname changed to King. And the wife, unless a reliable source can be located, should be merged away.

You have incorrect death/estate information attached to this profile. That information is for Thomas Barnard-18 (who is presently part of a proposed merge). What sources do you have for this man's existence, dates, and marriage?

Just FYI, have posted the comment below to the profile of linked wife, Joyce Catherine HInes (abt.1620-1694).
- Thank you for supporting WikiTree.
- Please provide a reliable source to support the claim that Joyce Catherine HInes died Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony on 27 Nov 1694.
- In the alternative, was this claim "borrowed" from the information about the wife of a different man, Thomas Barnard Jr. (abt.1612-bef.1677), whose widow, Eleanor ____ married (2) George Little (1618-1692)? --Gene

Torrey also calls her Mary ____ (NE Marriages bef. 1700.) which indicates that in his research he didn't find her maiden name either.
