General Notes: Husband - Simon Barnard

---

He was one of the original anti-slavery society, and, like his grandfather, Richard Barnard, took a conspicuous and active part, assisting the celebrated Thomas Garrett, of Wilmington, in the management of the Underground Railroad. He was a man of very considerable power and influence, positive, uncompromising, and fearlessly outspoken when such a course was unpopular and even dangerous. His house was a resort of the leaders in the anti-slavery cause when they came to Chester County, Pennsylvania, and William Lloyd Garrison, Lucretia Mott, Theodore Parker, John G. Whittier, and others of distinction frequently visited him.
