    Samuel Chase Barney

    Unsourced biographical note:

    Barney, Samuel C. Midshipman, June 27, 1835. Passed Midshipman, June 22, 1841. Master, June 23, 1847. Lieutenant, November 12, 1847. Reserved List, November 12, 1847. Dismissed March 6, 1863.

    He was married on June 14, 1847 in the District of Columbia to Mary Eleanor DeKrafft, a wealthy young woman, who was the daughter of Edward DeKrafft and Eleanor Dewees, both of whom died before her marriage. Mary DeKrafft Barney divorced her husband, Samuel on September 18, 1860 in Jasper County, Iowa, where she had arrived in the spring and filed for divorce. After her death ten days later, John W. DeKrafft alleged Samuel was an unfit parent and sued that some other person be given custody of the Barney children, who had been sent to France. Guardianship of the children was eventually given to a third party, Dr. Harvey Lindsley.

    The children, who were all born in the District of Columbia were Samuel Chase, born 1849; Edward DeKrafft born 1851; Hebe Gedney born 1853 and Clayonia Woods born 1855. The eldest child, Samuel Chase Barney, legally changed his name to Samuel Chase DeKrafft.

    Orphan's Court - Judge Purcell

    In this court today was heard the petition of J.W. DeKrafft, asking that some person be appointed guardian of the children of the late Mary E. Barney and that the husband [S. Chase Barney] be excluded from exercising any control of the children or their property, which application is founded on a divorce obtained by Mrs. Barney in the State of Iowa. The counsel for respondent take the ground that the divorce was fraudulently obtained and therefore moved that the application be dismissed.

    The Barney Case

    Yesterday, Mr. S.C. Barney, accompanied by his counsel, went to the Orphans' Court for the purpose of giving bonds as guardian to his children, the Circuit Court having reversed the decision of the Orphans' Court, but the court having adjourned they returned. A short time afterwards, Mr. Barney with officers Wise, Hughes and Summers, went to the school of Miss Ross, 4 1/2 street, at which the children were and took them, to the residence of his sister, Mrs. Rogers. The children at the time were under the guardianship of Dr. H. Lindsay, in whose house Miss Ross is a governess.
