By Fuller F. Barnes

Unfortunately, nothing is known about the English background of Thomas Barns who was an early settler of Hartford and Farmington. It is possible that he set sail from England in 1635 and later landed in New England. The first definite knowledge of him was in 1636 when he took part in the Pequot War. This book contains the first through tenth generations beginning with Thomas Barns and includes a genealogy and old documents and newspapers.
