He is often called "Thomas of Farmington" to distinguish him from other Thomas Barnes' of the era. Thomas Barnes arrived on the ship William and John with 101 passengers that landed in Boston 1635. In 1636 he became a Proprietor of Hartford, Ct.; a soldier in Pequot Battle of 1637; Sergeant of Farmington Train Band, 1651; admitted as freeman, 1669; received 50 acres for service in Pequot War, 1671. A Thomas Barnes appeared on the Freeman List of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 1630-1645. He became a Freeman - a man who could vote because he took the oath of allegiance to the government of the colony and joined the church - in May 1645 at Hingham, Massachusetts. He was one of the soldiers in the Pequot War fought in 1637. The Pequot War (1637), the first major conflict between Indians and whites in New England, set a brutal precedent for subsequent Indian-white warfare. The Pequot's were accused of murdering two white men but refused to yield up the suspected killers. Puritan authorities decided to retaliate, a decision reinforced by Pequot resistance against new Connecticut settlements. On May 26, 1637, a force of white soldiers together with Mohegan and Narragansett warriors attacked the principal Pequot village, burned it, and slaughtered its inhabitants. The surviving Pequot's were relentlessly pursued, until the tribe was largely destroyed. . In 1639, Thomas Barnes received land grants from the Colony for that service: 6 acres in Hartford and later 50 acres in Farmington, where he settled with the first party in 1646. Farmington at this early period included the territory of Southington, New Britain, Plainville, Bristol, Burlington, and Avon of the present day. After 1646, he resided in Farmington until his Untangling the Many Thomas Barnes family excerpt: Thomas Barnes, whom we entitle THOMAS of HARTFORD, set sail from England to the West Indies on the 2nd of September, 1635 on the ship "William & John" transported to Saint Kitts or Saint Christopher. Thomas possible arrived in New England on a trading ship from the West Indies. He was born circa 1615 in Essex County England and died in 1688 in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. This Thomas Barnes is the Progenitor of the Barnes family in this book. Note: There are multiple Thomas Barnes as described in The Barnes Family Yearbook. It appears that they have been commingled in the past in the various records.
