Re: Edward Barnfield & Sarah Blackwell of Gloucestershire

I have a lot of information about Edward Barnfield. He was born 12 March 1748 in the parish of Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire (probably in the small town of Nailsworth, but not recorded as such since it wasn’t a parish at that time). He was the illegitimate child of Ann Barnfield. The father was almost certainly called Holliday, for Ann records the child’s name as Edward Holliday Barnfield in the parish register. I have found no other references thereafter to him as Edward Holliday Barnfield, only just plain Edward Holliday. Edward married Hester Archer on 25 July 1774 in the parish church in Horsley, Gloucestershire. (A few miles from his home in modern Nailsworth). At that time he was described as a weaver. He could not sign his name in the register. His father-in-law, Matthew Archer left a large property (Newmarket House & surrounding land) to Edward Barnfield & his wife on his death in 1784. She died 16 December 1789, leaving him quite a wealthy man. Edward re-married Sarah Blackwell, the daughter of a wealthy clothier and property owner, John ‘Gentleman’ Blackwell (1736-1824), six weeks later on 10 February 1790 in the parish church of Avening. By time he was able to sign his name and describes himself as a clothier.
A few years later he bought the neighbouring estate of Lot House and its surrounding land. The Gloucestershire Record Office has details of various property deals he was involved in – buying and selling properties. He died 11 April 1814, a wealthy man despite his inauspicious entry into this world. He had five children – Sarah, who married Thomas Gardner a grocer from Cainscross, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, Edward Blackwell Barnfield, who emigrated to the US, Phebe, who married Enos Dyer, Charlotte, who married Thomas Wall, Benjamin and who married Sarah Foxwell and had a butcher’s shop in Cheltenham.

I have a lot more information. If you interested please contact me at raymondcook97@yahoo.co.uk. If anyone knows more about Edward Barnfield, I would be interested to hear from them.

The information I have is that she did not marry. However, her sister Sarah married Edward Barnfield in 1790. I have quite a bit of information about them and their descendants, if you are interested.

I am trying to track Edward's Father and grandfather I think that his father could be William who married a Joyce Foxwell so probably a relation of Sarah Foxwell who married Edward and Sarah's son
My grandfather Allan Barnfield had a profdessional geneologist research the Barnfield family in the 1950's and I have lots of wills and entries in parish records back to 1500's but unfortunatley there are gaps and it is all out of order so I am trying to put it together. Therefore any information on the pre Edward line would help enormously as I can then track records through.

Thanks, I knew Edward had a 1st wife, but I never knew her name. And thanks for full dates, where I only had years. And the correction of Newmarket instead of Nailsworth for the 1797 Benjamin. I have two wives and 3 sons for Edward Foxwell Barnfield, but not their wives or descendants. I would like to share data if you are willing. I have lots of Blackwell cousins, but am not a Blackwell or Barnfield myself. I did come to the UK and visit Horsley, Nailsworth and Avening loking for Blackwell data, but unfortunately my time was very limited. Sarah BLACKWELL Barnfield's older brother, Enoch, was my gggm's step-father. You can reach me directly via capane "AT" verizon.net.

Many thanks if you have clarifying material.

BARNSFIELD, SEATT, WILLIAMS, Wilson Co., TN circa 1860

samuelkey — 2008-06-21 15:51:18Z

I have from WILLIAMS census data (Wilson Co., TN) a Georgie Etta WILLIAMS/SEAT (born abt 1862/1864 TN/IL; died 1947 TX) showing up as an orphan (1870 & 1880 US Census). Georgie Etta SEAT is my great grandmother. I am looking to track down her parents and past.

From a 1997 query found here http://www.tngenweb.org/wilson/queries/wilsar01.htm I have

"Jay L. Hallaron Sun Jul 27 12:36:04 1997
Researching Barn(s)fields that married in Wilson Co.
(1) Richard Barnsfield m. Ann Eliza WILLIAMS,
(2) Robert Barnsfield m. Telitha Ann SEATT,
(3) Ann Barnsfield m. William Thomas SEATT,
(4) Martha Barnsfield m. Hiram C WOODARD,
(5) William Barnsfield m. Mary MERCHANT,
(6) George Barnsfield m. Polly WILLIAMS,
(7) John Barnsfield m. Martha J JACKSON, and
(8) Louisa Barnsfield m. Joseph E LAIN.
Trying to identify the parents of Barnsfield spouses and parentage of several of the Barnsfields."

My "Nettie Jane WILLIAMS" married a "Thomas SEATT" in 1859, Wilson County, Tennessee, please see attached *.jpg file. Nettie J WILLIAMS had a sister Eliza A WILLIAMS (1850 US Census).

My current assumption is that there was a 'tragedy' in one of the WILLIAMS sisters marriages that resulted in Georgia Etta WILLIAMS/SEAT becoming an orphan.

QUESTION: Is there a Barn(s)field researcher that has any information of this collection of families in Wilson Co., TN circa 1860 that could clarify what I have found to-date?

Richard George Barnfield and Margret Morgan Ferndale Wales

ROY_KEAST — 2007-05-15 15:06:10Z

I am trying to find information on my Great Grandfather Richard George Barnfield, the only information on them come from my Granfather's birth certificate (William John Barnfield)from 1907. Richard is listed as a Coal Miner, they lived at Bodwys Ysaradyfodws Pontypridd Wales. The only marriage between a Margret Morgan and Richard Barnfield I can find is in Cheltenham in 1905, I know miners must have moved about but I need some good links to find Margret and Richard in the 1901 census. Any help would be appreciated.
