Biography

Anne (Kingman) Barnard immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

This profile is part of the Kingman Name Study.

Origin

Ann Kingman was born in England, the daughter of Henry Kingman and his wife, Joanna Unknown.^[1] Henry Kingman and his family were members of Reverend Hull's Company, arriving at Dorchester, MA on 7 June, 1635. The Kingman family lived at Weymouth.^[2]

Ann was born in England about 1626 (age 9 on 20 March 1634/5).^[3]

Marriage

Ann married by an unknown date to ______ Barnard.^[1]

In Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume IV, I-L, page 180, Anderson discusses Anna Kingman, dau of Henry, and concludes that she married to ___ Barnard, not to any Davis. (Her sister Bridget married on 13 Dec 1649 at Roxbury to Tobias Davis).^[1] These were the children of Henry and Joan Kingman:^[1]

1. Edward Kingman, b c. 1619; Capt. Johnson's Co. in King Phillip's War
2. Joan Kingman, b c. 1624; m Thomas Holbrook
3. Anne Kingman, b c. 1626; m Unknown Barnard
4. Thomas Kingman, b c. 1628; m Rebecca Unknown
5. *Bridget Kingman, b c. 1630; m 13 Dec 1649 to Tobias Davis
6. John Kingman, b c. 1633; m Elizabeth Edson

* Note that Bridget does not appear in the passenger list (probably a simple clerical omission).^[1]

In his Comments on this family, Anderson mentions the work of Sidney Kingman Eastwood who assumes two children were born in New England: an additional son named Henry Kingman (d May 1660) and the daughter Bridget. (Savage followed Eastwood on these two children) No evidence for a son named Henry has ever been found.^[1]

There is a record of Bridget Kingman's marriage to Tobias Davis on 13 December 1649 at Roxbury. If she was born after their arrival in 1635, then she was a very young bride. Eastwood also made daughter Anne the wife of Tobias Davis (probably because of the date problem with Bridget). However, records show the name of the second wife of Tobias was Bridget, not Anne (first wife was Sarah Morrill).^[1]

In his will of 1667, her father Henry left bequests to 5 of his children directly, but of Ann he states: to the children of my daughter Barnard, ten pounds, they bee now five. So she is assumed to have predeceased her father.^[1]

By process of elimination, this would make daughter Anne the "my daughter Barnard" in Henry's will. The husband Barnard or Bernard has not yet been identified, despite attempts. One "intriguing" possibility is the Musachiell Bernard who was also aboard the Marygould in 1635 with the Kingmans.^[3] He remained at Weymouth for about ten years before he returned to England.^[1]

Children

Ann and her husband had five living children as of 24 May 1667, when Ann's father mentioned them in his will:

the children of my daughter Barnard ten pounds they be now five they shall be payed when they come to be of age, the sons at twenty years old, and the daughters at eighteen.^[1]

In 1667, the sons were all under age 21, and the daughters all under age 18.

Death and Legacy

Ann died before her father's will was written on 24 May, 1667.^[1]
