Excerpt from The Ancestry of the Founders of the Association Known as the Eleven Branches of the House of William Barnard: Together With an Autobiographical Sketch of William Barnard At the last reunion of "Eleven Branches of the House of William Barnard," held at Maple Arbor, near Westville, Ind., in August, 1920, the President and Secretary of the association, together with William St. Clair, Mary Pearl Williams, Rudy A. Barnard, Ruth A. Parker and Mamie Maria Baird, were appointed a committee to consider the publication of the history of the association, including an autobiographical sketch of William Barnard. This committee unanimously decided it would be not only of much interest to all the living members of the association, but would also be a continuing pleasure to those descendants of William Barnard who come after them. Job Barnard, Secretary of the association, thereupon offered to compile the material for this book, and did prepare and write all of the matter contained herein which was approved by the other members of the committee. To him should be given the greatest credit for undertaking this work because it was done at times when he was not in the best of health and taxed his strength considerably. It is my pleasure and I consider that I should introduce here a short sketch of the life and attainments of my father, who has been the mainstay of the Barnard Association since its organization and its only Secretary He was born on Maple Arbor Farm, on June 8, 1844, and was the ninth child of William and Sally Barnard. He grew up to young manhood on the farm, but never was intended to be a man of the soil, as he was much more interested in reading and studying than in fanning. After attending the public school near his home, his father permitted him to attend the winter sessions of the Valparaiso Male and Female College for two years, where he obtained the best part of his preliminary education. When the Civil War broke out he volunteered in the Union army, but his father being a Quaker would not consent to Job enlisting, but said to him, "Job if thee goes to war, thee does it without my consent."
