Hi
My "Loyalist Lineages of Canada" Volume II has Sgt Geo Barnhart s/o Johannes Bernhardt and Maria Gertraut Rau.
He married Catherine Sharpston 1768 Montpelier VT.
Issue:
Jacob,Wm George, Catherine, Mary, John, Charles, Nicholas,
Henry, Elizabeth, Philip Row, Nancy
1.1 Jacob Barnhart reg KRRNY b 4 July 1769, Ulster County, NY Province,dd 04 July 1857 bur Barnhart Is.??Trinity Church??
Jacob M Catherine Bedford, no date given
Issue:
Benjamin, Charlotte, Margaret, Mary Ann, Jacob, SARAH, Catherine, John.
So there is a potential Sarah!
The Sarah who married John McGinn in 1836 ( I wonder if that was a second marriage, same couple? They did that in the early days before their preferred denomination became available)
In the 1852 and the 1861 census the family religion was Roman Catholic. They were enumerated as "MaGinn" in 1852.
In my Reid's "The Loyalists in Ontario, Sons and Daughters of American Loyalists"
Jacob and family are listed Page 16:
Daughter Sarah's Order in Council as a DUE 05 Jan 1835.
Question is...Was this the correct Sarah?
Rob McGinn
