p84: "David Barber (Dr.Samuel4, Samuel3, Thomas2, Thomas1) b. 1746; m. Sarah Lawrence, dau. of Samuel and Patience (Bigelow) Lawrence, who was b. July 31, 1750. In 1783 David Barber and his wife removed with their family from Simsbury, Conn., to Hubbardton, VT. In passing over some bad roads on their journey, the team became stalled and in trying to assist by lifting a wheel of the wagon, David was fatally injured and died before they reached their destination. The widow afterward married William Dyer of that place...
"The records of Simsbury show that a David Barber married Deborah Adams, and it has been assumed by some historians that this was David, the son of Dr. Samuel, mentioned above. No public record of this marriage had yet been found, and it is more than likely that it was burned at Canton. But that the wife of David Barber was Sarah Lawrence, is abundantly proven by the records and events in the family history of his descendants.
"Miss Julia Barber (No. 2264) of Charleston, WV, who with her brother, Levi Allen Barber, has made careful study of this branch of the family, writes on this point as follows:
"`I remember hearing my father and his old Uncle David H Barber (No. 671) who married Clarissa Whelpley, talking of her (Sarah Lawrence) when I was a young girl. He told my father of her second marriage to William Dyer, which my father had not known of before that time (1857). She had two sons by her second husband, one named Lawrence Dyer.'
"As this old Uncle David H. was the eldest son of David and Sarah (Lawrence) Barber, he would be unquestionable authority as to his mother's name.
"Miss Barber states that her grandfather, Daniel, after the death of his father, lived with his cousin Joab Lawrence, who was a son of Sarah Lawrence's brother Bigelow, and that the Lawrence relatives have visited at her father's house, one of them, Edmund Lawrence, being present at his golden wedding.
"She further writes, `Bigelow Lawrence's picture is in Clarks, Onandaga, and father has shown it to me with almost veneration.'
"It is probable that the David Barber who married Deborah Adams is David (No. 193) son of Isaac and Martha (Adams) Barber."

Encyclopaedia Britannica, Micropaedia, Chicago, 1981, Vol VIII, p735, Rutland: "City, seat (1784) of Rutland County, Vermont, US, between the Green and Taconic mountains on Otter Creek. In 1759 the site was an outpost on the military road built by the British general Sir Jeffrey Amherst across Vermont, connecting forts on Lake Champlain with the Connecticut Valley. Chartered in 1761, it was named for Rutland, Mass. The first settlers, New England Yankees, came in 1770. During the American Revolution, Forts Rutland (originally Picket) and Ranger were built in the vicinity. Rutland was the capital of Vermont (1784-1804)..."
