  • Name Moses BARBER  [2, 3] 
    • "The George Soule Family": There has been controversy about the spelling of the surname of Moses Barber's wife susannah. the TAG article (52:101) is considered definitive as to the marriage record for Susannah West/Waist/Wast, second wife of Moses Barber. He m. (1) an unknown wife by whom he had: Moses, William and Sarah.

      On 17 March 1722 Moses Barber deposed he was aged 70 and upwards.

      On 15 April 1728 Moss Barber deeded 146 acres in Westerly to son Benjamin; wife Susanna gave up her dower rights.

      The will of Moses Barber Sr of So. Kingstown RI, dated 29 March 1728, proved 13 Dec. 1733, names wife Susannah; sons William, Moses, Samuel, Thomas, Joseph Benjamin, Ezekiel and Daniel; youngest daughter Ann Barber; the heirs of daughter Lydia Mowry dec.; all married daughters (not named) to have 5 sh.

      The will of Susannah Barber of Charlestown RI, widow, dated 21 Sept. 1755, proved 4 April 1758, names daughters Dinah Wilcocks; Susanna Perry, widow, Martha Parker; Ruth Bentley; Marcy Tift; Ann Kenyon, son Benjamin Barber executor. (It is to be noted that RI GEN DICT names the spouse of Martha Barber as Thomas POTTER but careful scrutiny of the will as recorded in the Charlestown RI Council Book shows the surname to be PARKER).
