From the Barnes Family Yearbook

They resided in Bristol where he was a very prominent citizen.

One of his daughters, Lydia, sewed uniforms for the fighting men during the Revolutionary War including Washington's troops. She met her husband Lemuel Potter when he was sent by Washington to gather up uniforms and supplies. Lydia spent so much time sewing that her back became permanently bent over.
