BARMORE PROJECTBACKGROUND

Barmore is a rare name in the United States.  2000 census data indicated that there werejust 1,530 Barmores and 151 Baremores in the United States.

Most of the early Barmores appear to have come from the NewJersey-New York-Connecticut area, but efforts to tie together the families havebeen frustrated by the too frequent gaps in the records.  This project hopes to assist in identifyingrelationships between families that can only be confirmed by DNA at this point.

Among the major Barmore branches include descendants of:

1. Marshall Barmore of Dutchess Co, NY (1760)

2. Henry Barmore of Rockland Co, NY (abt 1761)

3. Gilbert Barmore of Greenwich, CT (say 1730)

4. John Barmore of Chautauqua Co, NY (1823), orig. from NJ

5. James Barmore of Dutchess Co, NY (1759)

6. Christopher Barmore of Essex Co, NJ (1780)

7. Jonathan Barmore of Green Co, PA, orig. from NJ 1792

8. George Barmore of Abbeville Co, SC 1790, orig from NJ c1720

More information will be added on each of those families.

Most information about Marshall Barmore comes from his pensionapplications.  He says he was bornon 25 May 1760 in Filkintown (now known as Washington Hollow, part of the townof Washington), Dutchess County, New York. He first enlisted at Dover, Dutchess County, about 1 April 1776 andseems to have lived at Dover during the war.

 

Marshall’s application of 11 June 1833 indicates that hemoved from Dover to

Granville [Washington Co] and lived there about	10 years
Plattsburgh [Clinton Co]	12 years
Fort Ann [Washington Co]	1 year
Scipio, Cayuga County	2 years
Batavia, Genesee County	1 year
Royalton, Niagara County	10 years
Napoli, Cattaraugus County	1 year
Alabama, Genesee Co, where he now resides	2 years

 

This listing was not precise. He appeared in the census asfollows:

1790	Westfield, Washington Co., NY	males: 1 16+, 2 <16; females: 3
1800	Champlain, Clinton Co., NY	males:  1 26-44; 1 10-15; 1 < 10; females:  1 26-44
1810	Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., NY	males:  1 45+; 1 10-15 females: 1 45+; 1 < 10
1820	Royalton, Niagara Co., NY	males: 1 45+; 1 10-15 females:  1 45+
1830	Royalton, Niagara Co., NY	males:  1 70-79 females:  1 60-69
1840	Williamson, Wayne Co., NY	age 84

 

Marshall was a resident of Genesee County when he made his15 October 1828 application.  Marshalldied on 10 March 1843 at Williamson, Wayne Co., New York, where he had beenliving with his daughter Abi.

 

An affidavit of Harry Bormore of Napoli, Cattaraugus County,New York, dated 7 February 1834, states that Marshall is his father andpresently resides with him.  In additionto Henry (Harry) and Abi, it seems likely that Marshall was the father ofNathaniel Barmore.  Marshall was livingin Westfield, Washington County, New York at the time of the 1790 census.  Nathaniel’s wife was from that town and theylived at Hartford, Washington County, in 1800 when their oldest son, Dennis M.was born.  “M.” could stand forMarshall.  The Nathaniel Barmore familylater lived in Genesee and Cattaraugus Counties, which were also residences ofMarshall.

Aury Smith during the Revolution.  In 1779 he was a drummer and in 1780 a private.  He was captured by the British and taken toNew York City, where he was held for six weeks before making his escape.  He eventually made a pension application onaccount of his service.

Gilbert¹Barmore married Ann Meadby 31 March 1755, when she is called Ann Baremore in her father’s will. She wasborn in about the 1730s, a daughter of John Mead and Elizabeth Lockwood ofGreenwich, Connecticut. [Brett O’Reilly’s Ancestry Tree contains information onGilbert’s family]

 

Gilbert bought a dwelling house inGreenwich on 14 February 1757 “on the north side of the road that goes up toLindys Mills.” On 15 September 1760, he sold “my now dwelling house” and anacre adjoining to John Mead, described as “at a place called Pimpersig upon theroad leading to Thingstreet.” Gilbert must have died relatively young, as on 28April 1770 Ann Barmore bought in her own name from John Mead “the dwellinghouse she now lives in and about half an acre of land adjoining said house,”which was “the same house and land that I bought of Gilbert Baremore.” In 1788,1789 and 1793, her land is mentioned as a bound of land bought or sold byNathaniel Barmore in the West Society of Greenwich.

 

On 15 June 1793, Ann Baremore ofGreenwich made her will, probated on 3 December 1793, mentioning her childrenJohn, now of New York City, Nathaniel, Gilbert, Ann, wife of Zebediah Taylor,and Aanor Raymond.  Her son Nathaniel wasnamed executor.

2.  Nathaniel²(Gilbert¹) Barmoremarried Abigail Wall. He lived atMohegan (east of Peekskill in the town of Cortlandt) on 15 January 1811, wherehe was a town trustee and “carried on agricultural pursuits.” 

 

The Mackey-Sands papers give hisparents as Gilbert Barmore and Ann Mead. If so, then he was the Nathaniel named in his mother’s will and lived atGreenwich, adjacent to his mother’s land, at least from 1788 to 1795. Assigninghim to this family is also consistent with his having a son Mead, presumablynamed for his mother’s family or one of her male relatives, and the birth ofhis oldest son at Port Chester, which is adjacent to the west side ofGreenwich.

 

The Ledger of Dr. Amos Mead ofGreenwich contains several references to treating Nathaniel’s family.

Hewas in Cortlandt, Westchester Co. in 1820, 1830 and 1840.  Her name is given as Lavinia in theMackey-Sands papers and Eliza in the James Barmore sketch.  Both she and her husband seem to have diedprior to 1850 and Elizabeth Barmore appears in the 1850 and 1855 censuses withHunters.  As the surname is not Hunter, sheseems likely to be their aunt, not their mother.  Accordingly, Lavinia seems like to have beenthe mother’s name and the name Eliza having been given later due to arecollection of such a person in the household.
