______________________________________________
MY NOTE: It is possible that William Barnes' (679-1685 ) line is connected some way to Elkanah II Cushman (b. 9/15/1678 son of Elkanah Cushman and Elizabeth Cole)) and Hester Barnes (b. 1681-1682 dau. of Jonathan Barnes and Elizabeth Hedge), based on not only names, geography, family affinites, etc., but also on the fact that these ancestors also were among the first at Plymouth, MA. William is thought to have been born in Ireland and not England; however, many were migrating throughout England, Ireland, and other parts of Europe during that time. However, this is only speculation on my part at this time.
HISTORICAL HI-LITES: William was born months after John Bunyan`s "Pilgrim`s Progress" was published, and Lady Godiva took her ride through Coventry. Antonio Vivaldi, late Baroque violin virtuoso, was born one year before Brinsley Barnes.
