PREFACE.
'WW\ ERE I to offer an apology for bringing into book
CjLl form the information contained in this small
^^^ volume it would be that from my youth I pos-
sessed a desire to know something of the Barwick Family
and their characteristics as a people.
It being a fact that the people design the strength and
safety of nations; that they create law and liberty cher-
ished in reverance of Almighty God for the freedom and
protection cf mankind, I have many times wondered what
were the aspirations and practices of our forefathers
towards civic development.
Can, or dare we consider ourselves .better, or more
advau'Ced in life <,lT;a'iiUk'ey^U'hd'eTjthefr opportunities? Are
we mindful of the^fsTcft-tljearwhen' they'l^^nded on the east-
ern shore of Mafyland ^5'vea^:s, ago their home was in
one vast forest. That' 'Jiey ;ei3i^rQd.?:he woods with ax,
mail and wedge and .cwt;^ dPlw.p.;. ' a:id rolled together, and
burned up, and cleard up ,for the planting of the seed and
tilling of the soil? MThat^ tliej' drained the low lands' of
waters and made ready >t'Gr' Ihe production of grain. That
by the help cf their bone, sinew and muscle they aided
in constructing the great commonwealth which today rep-
resents more than 80,000,000 people, and the great enter-
prises, viz: agriculture, manufacturing and commerce.
If in pastimes our forefathers guided by the spirit of
God and liberty left their native land and braved the wat-
ers of the deep in their rude constructed crafts for a non-
civilized wilderness, what then have we in this Twentieth
Century to boast over, or above their zeal, or ambition?
May we with grateful minds and hearts accept the in-
formation of our ancestors, though limited, may we fully
realize the gratit ide we owe them for their daring strug-
gle which is but the source of our existence.
I herewith submit my findings, and trust the same
will be a source of interest and information to all who be-
long to "That Ancient Family of Barwicks" — Berwicks.

Possibly there are few names that can be spelled in
so many ways as Barwick; the changing of one or more
letters the name can be spelled many ways.
From an English source it is learned Berwick was the
"Ancient Spelling," and so long in usage that its origin
is unknown.
In a book, published in London, England, in 1665, "The
Life of John Barwick, D. D., written by his brother, Petous
Barwick, M. D., it is observed the two names of Berwick
and Barwick ref^r Jt9^ the ^sanie family of 650 years ago."

THEIR CKAfeACTERISTICS.
CHAPTER II.
To make a geneological connection of the first Bar-
wicks of England with those coming to this country would
result in a long and expensive search of the English court
and church records.
The earliest knowledge of the Barwick family is taken
from "The Life of John Barwick, D. D., which is as follows:
'The chief of the Barwick family was Thomas de Berwick,
who in the reign of that victorious Prince, King Edward
III, had command of all his Archers (Bowmen), as appears
from an instrument quoted out of the Archives by Sir John
Banks, the King's advocate in one of his arguments in the
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
n
case of Ship Money published in Rushworth's CollecMons."
From the above we observe the spelling of Berwick
an-d Barwick referring to the same family. Humphrey
Barwick in 1594 published: "A Brief Discourse CD.icerning
the force and effect of all Manual Weapons of Fire, and the
Archery in respect to others of greater force."
In 1746 the "Life of Capt. John Barwick" was p iblished
who was captain in the Manchester Regiment and gives
"a genuine account of the behaviour, confession and his dy-
ing words."
Another notable Barwick of
which an interesting history was
published in 1G65. and now in the
writer's possession is that of "Dr.
John Barwick, D. D.", who was a
son of "George Barwick and Jane,
his wife, whose maiden name
was Barrow. This George was
the eldest son of Nicholis Bar-
wick, a descendant of that Ancient
Family of the Barwicks of Fair
Ridge, near the village of Stavely,
in the north part of Lanches-
shire."
Here we are informed of the Barwicks being an
''Ancient Family." John Barwick, D. D., was born April
20 1612, and for his time was thoroughly schooled, bemg
Dean of Durham and St. Paul's College. He was an inti-
mate friend of Charles I, and at the time the King was
beheaded, the Monarch took a ring from his Royal finger
and had it given to the Rev. Barwick, the latter afterwards
being kept in prison two years and four months for his
relation with the King.
The title page of the history is as follows: The Life
6 BARWICK FA]\nLV HISTORY.
of the Rev. John Barwick, sometimes Fellow of St. John's
College In Cambridge, and immediately after the restor-
ation successfully Dean of Durham and St. Paul's College.
"Written in latin by his brother, (1665) Dr. Peter Bar-
wick, formerly Fellow of same college, and afterwards phy-
sician in ordinary to King Charles II.
"Translated into English by the editor of Latin Life, with
some notes to illustrate the history, and a brief account
of the author, to which is added an appendix of letters
from King Charles I in his confinement, and King Charles
II and the Earl of Clarendon in their exile, and other
papers relating to the history of that time. Published from
the original in St. John's College."
The history of this Barwick is as impressive reading
as were the times in which he lived, and I wish it were
possible to reproduce the book for the sipirit, and informa-
tion of the times in which it was written.
The author concludes: "He died in the fifty-third
year of his age and cf our Lord, 1664. Reader if thou de-
fi'irest to know more of this Reverend Churchman, gc home,
and learn by the conspicuous copy of his sincere devotion
what it is to be a True Christian Indeed."
The following is here given of the brothers:
"Immediately after the restoration he was made one
of the King's physicians in ordinary, and the year follow-
ing in acknowledgement of his and the Dean, they and
their heirs forever had, by His Majesty's command, the
honor of an addition to the arms of their family of 2

"How zealous an advocate the
author was for the immortal Dr.
Harvey's most Useful Discovery
)f the circulation of tlic hlood, 1
lave mentioned in my preface to
Latin Life, and shall only observe
:>ere upon the head farther with
regard to an objection that the dis-
covery was first published when Dr.
larwick was a school boy, yet it
net with so much opposition, that
"-.e was a doctor of phytic, and very
capable of maintaining and defend-
ing it before it was generally received. For though Dr.
Harvey lived to his eightieth year, viz: 1657, two years
after Dr. Barwrck took his degree, Mr. Wood observed that
it was with much ado that he saw his Discovery of the
Circulation of the Blood Established Before He Died."
The author states that John Barwick's parents "De-
cently Bred" up all their sons, which were five. This is
more than many children are today receiving from their
parents.
The life of John Barwick cannot be read without caus-
ing a deep regard for the piety of this man who lived in
the troublesome times ol Charles I and Oliver Cromwell.
The following of interest which is in my possession
and taken from the Gentlemen's Magazine. London. Ens;
land:
MR. URBAN, Bishopton Lodge, Nov. 18, 1844.
"My attention is called to a notice in your magazine
for March, 1842, page 122, requesting particulars respect-
ing the: "Ancient Family of Barwicks," or rather the fath-
er, or ancestry of Sir Robert Barwick, Knt. of Towlston
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY.
Hall, in the county of York, which I here give for the in-
formation of your correspondent, or any others connected
with the family.
"Sir Hugh de Barwick, Knt. was Lord of the Manor
of Tredelissham in Berkshire, and also held divers lands
in the county . of Oxford, and died 52, (1252) Henry III,
leaving by Isabel, his wife, two sons; Thomas and John,
which John d'e Barwick had summons to Parliament among
the Justices and others of the King's Council, 23; 27 (1223-
35); 33; 34 and 35 of Edward I.
"Again, the first of Edward II, when the Justices and
King's Councils were intermixed with the earls and bar-
ons, but not summansed in fide et homoio.
"He -.-ras treasurer to Queen Alinor, wife of King Ed-
ward I, and attended at the coronation of King Edward II,
was prebendary of Holme, and afterwards of Fenton, in
the county of York.
"In the second of Edward II is the last time I find
his nam'e mentioned, which seems to indicate that he
shortly afterwards died.
Of the elder son, Thomas de Barwick we find him
master of Archers in the reign of Edward III, from which
descended John Barwick, D. D., Dean of St. Paul's col-
lege, London, Peter Barwick, M. D., physician in ordinary
to King Charles II, and Col. Samuel Barwick, Governor of
Barbadoes, 1866, which Col. B.. died June 3, 1673, leaving
an only son and heir, Samuel who was Governor of Bar-
badoes in 1731, and died in January, 1733, leaving a
daughter and heiress, Jane, who married August 27, 1752,
the Hon. T. Osborn Bruce, and conveyed to him the estate
and representation of the family.
"Compiled from Wills, Parish Registers and a valuable
M. S. at Middle Hill."
Then is given the family pedigree which is too com-
plex to here give space. The time covered is 655 years and
what variations, or procreations that have occurred in the
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY. 9
course of those twenty generations is far beyond the
power of my antiquarian ability. The information shows
the source of tracing English family lines, for in the year
1844, Samuel Barwick Bruce, M. D., was the representative
of this family.
TIME OF COMING
TO AMERICA.
1652 and 1664.
CHAPTER. III.
When we consider the development of the North
American continent from the time Columbus made his
discovery at San Salvador, Oct. 12, 1492, up to this busy
"Twentieth Century," is there not reason for a degree
of anxiety to know who, when and under what conditions
our ancestors came to this country.
Why should we be so grossly indifferent as to our
lineage. Find a man with a fine animal and he will not
only delight in telling of the pedigree, but of the siuperior
stock qualities as well, and at the same time, possibly,
know nothing of his grandparents.
Three years ago the writer was very much as the
stock man, though from my youth there was a desire to
know something of the Barwick Family, and I trust the
results of my long, tiresome and expensive labors in trac-
ing out, and connecting together the Barwick Family
will be of interest to all who may read the contents of
this small volume.
What motives induced our forefathers to leave their
native land and seek a home in the forest of an uncivilized
continent may well be conceived when we recall the
historical conditions which England was politically and re-
ligiously passing through, or into.
10 BARVVICK FAMILY HISTORY.
There is reason to believe that in their minds and
hearts dwelt the spirit of religious liberty; that their zeal
and love for freedom put to a test of strength their
spiritual devotion and endurance; that in a distant land
they could there establish themselves, practice and wor-
ship their Creator with free minds and full hearts, and
make possibilities for their future generations more
abundant, both in temporal and spiritual opportunities.
Had we in written form the lives of our continental
and colonial predecessors including parentage, heredity,
their social, political and religious opportunities or disad-
vantages there is reason to believe such would be as inter-
esting as were the venturesome times in which they lived.
The earliest English settlement in Maryland occurred
in 1631, under Capt. Clayborn, who, with a party of English
from Virginia, located on Kent Island, in Chesapeake Bay,
but a permanent settlement was not made until the year
1634 by a body of English Roman Catholics whose leader
was Cecil Calvert.
Thus we note our ancestors became permanent set-
tlers in the state of Maryland 18 years after the first per-
manent settlement of the colony was established.
From the discovery of America to the present, the
time is divided into ten historical periods, and their com-
per-
ing was as early as the second period which was) the
iod of settlement.
Thus viewing the fact that our ancestors and their
descendants have lived and experienced 255 years of
American perplexities and prosperity certainly we who live
today should with grateful hearts fully realize the debt of
gratitude we owe to Almighty God for our existence, and
with equal gratitude perpetuate in sacred memory those
of our Pioneer Predecessors.
May we strive as worthy, christian, patriotic citizens
to make the possibilities for our future generations more
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY. 11
abounding in the higher qualities of life; that our future
blood lines may continue more than 255 years, hence as
free from vice and crime as in the past.
Of their religious attitude we have accounts of their
earlier church relationship which will be given later. My
large correspondence with the Barwicks establishes the
fact that their religious attitude is most commendable, and
of those who are not identified with some church there is
a refining tone which is to this day traceable back to the
English stock.
As an enterprising people, agricultural, and the various
business pursuits have engaged them. Some are minis-
ters, doctors, legislators, teachers, and others filling var-
ious positions, while none are known to have been engaged
in the saloon business at any time in this country.
It can be said that the Barwick Family stands as a
worthy, upright, common people, and of industrious habits.
Above all, it is not known of any Barwick of this coantry
being a criminal, or convicted of a crime.
WHAT THE COURT RECORDS
CONTAIN OF
THE BARWICK FAMILY.
CHAPTER IV.
The writer can say that securing court information is
expensive. In some cases' the fourth examination of coun-
ty records was required, and I here desire to speak in com-
mendable terms of Mr. W. O. Lednum, Chief Deputy Clerk
of the Circuit Court at Denton, Md., for his integrity and
ability as an antiquarian.
In many places it has been impossible to make a
complete tracing of family lines owing to the lack of
willSi and the numerous names of James, John and Wil-
liam. However, the following is here given and should be
of interest and information to all of the Barwick family.
12 BARWICk FAMILY HISTORY
COMING OF
DANIEL BARWICK IN 1652.
In Liber A. R. H., Folio 325, in the Patent Records
in the Land Office in Annapolis, Md., is recorded that
Daniel Barwick demanded 100 acres of land upon the
Patukent River, or in any other part of the Province for
transporting himself and Sarah, his maid-servant, in, or
since June, 1652.
Every effort was made to obtain some continued infor-
mation of Daniel Barwick, and to know whether he left
descendants, but the above proved all the information ob-
tainable.
The writer firmly believes the early Patent Land
Records contain such information. While there is no in-
formation as- to what country the Barwicks came from, yet
it is evident beyond doubt it was from England.
COMING OF
JOHN BARWICK, SR.
IN 1664.
From the Patent Records in the Land Office in /Vn-
napolis, Md., Liber No. 7, Folio 520, it is recorded that
John Barwick came to Maryland in the year 1664.
What relation he was to Daniel B. cannot be stated,
neither is there any known account of his Engli&h ances-
try, but it is reasonable to presume relationship existed
between the two and they probably were brothers.
There is no account of the age of John Barwick, or
when he died, but there is much evidence that from him
there honorably sprung a worthy people even to this day.
His place of settlement was in Talbot county, Md.,
Easton now being the county seat. As early as 1669 he
and another party bought a tract of 800 acres known as
the Normanda, the price being 9,000 pounds of Tobacco.
Also in 1683 he sold 100 acres of the tract for 3,812
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY 13
pounds of tobacco, and in 1684 another 150 acres for 5,500
pounds of tobacco, and (last) in 1717 another 157 acres;
price, 5,000 pounds of tobacco.
In 1735 one John Barwick sold 50 acres; price 3,400
pounds of tobacco. Thl^ sale is one made by a son for
the fact that were it made by the former John Barwick
he would by this time be a very old man.
HIS CHILDREN.
While he left no will it is known that he left three
sons whose names were John Jr., William and Edward.
May 10, 1746, there was made an inventory of the
estate of William Barwick, which shows that Edward
and John Barwick were his nearest kin.
The will of William Barwick shows that he left one
son, William, Jr., and why there was an inventory made,
and his brothers were his nearest kin, and not his son is a
matter not here explainable.
From the wills of early dates it is observed that all
real estate fell to the sons, and that of personal estates
to the daughters.
CHAPEL OF EASE.
On date of Aug. 15, 1765, for the value of 5£, English
money. One Pew, No. 17, in Chapel of Ease, in the Parish
of St. Peter, in Talbot Co., was sold by William Barwick,
Jr., to Thomas Laveday, said pew formedly belonged to
John Barwick, St., father of William Barwick, Sr.
Here we note the John Barwick of 1664 was a church
man, although there is at present no obtainable account of
the above chapel.

BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY 15
From a careful i'tudy of Land, Marriage and Will
Records the preceding chart of the early Harwicks is as
correct as can be made and the following explanation
will be given:
John Barwick, Jr., will dated 17o6; William Harwick,
will dated 1746; and Edward Barwick, will dated 1762, are
sons of John Barwick, Sr., of 1664, and of the two follow-
ing columns are grand and great grandchildren.
JOHN BARWICK, JR., 1736.
A son of John Barwick, Sr., 1664, little can be said of
him. His will was probated June 1, 1736, leaving one-
third to his wife, Sarah; to John One Shilling, and the re-
mainder to James. Of his two sons, John and James, are
as follows:
John Barwick bought in Talbot Co., Md., 56 acres,
price, 6,000 pounds of tobacco, 1742, and 173 acres of Nor-
manda tract in 1748, price 12,000 pounds of tobacco; also
231 acres of same year, price 1,200 pounds oi tobacco, and
sold in 1751 for 79 pounds, 7 shillings and 6 pence, cur-
rent money, 127 acres; in 1753 for 12 pounds, 10 shillings
20 acres; in 1757 for 44 pounds, 16 shillings, 56 acres, and
in same year 84 acres for 6,000 pounds tobacco.
James Barwick purchased land in 1765, in Talbot Co.,
Md. Neither left a will making it impossible to further
trace their descendants.
WILLIAM BARWICK, SR., 1746.
A son of John Barwick (1664). His place of residence
was in Talbot Co., Md. He left on son, William, Jr., son
of Mary Thurderman. His estate consisted of much land,
personal property and slaves which was left to his wife,
Roseana, but should she again marry one-half was then
to go to her son.
HIS SON WILLIAM, JR.
Was the owner of many tracts of land in Talbot Co.,
IP) BAR WICK FA^llLY HISTORY
Md., and bailed men who were oflBcers of trust. His life
was full of business transactions which are too numerous
to here give. In 1787 he purchased the Chapel of Ease
of St Peter's Paris'h, now known as Kings Creek, or
Mathewstown, or Kingston. His will was probated in
1796. He left a wife, Anna, and children, John, William,
Lydia Scott, Anna Kirby, Hanna and Rebecca Barwick.
His son William married Anna Bell, Feb. 2, 1796, but of
his son John there is no further information.
To further trace his descendants was impossible for
lack of will records, but it is most certain that the Bar-
wicks of Cecil county, Md., are his direct descendants.

IS HAinVlCK FAMILY HISTORY
Susan A. Barwick and Perry W. Stewart, April 29, 1906.
It will be observed that the Barwick Family of Talbot
Co., Md.. have continued from the coming of John Bar-
wick in 1664 to the present time. However, it is with
much regret the above unclassified name- could not have
been directly connected in family lines. The writer spent
much time and delay trusing to so succeed, but in the
end could do no more than to submit the above.
From the years 1780 to 1800 there were so few wills
left, and so many Johns, James and Williams that little
could be accomplisihed. Again, many were not able to
trace back more than to their grandfather, or but 100
years ago.
For a people to live from generation to generation in
the same county since 1664 there should somewhere be
family bibles that would clear up the missing links.
It is evident that most of the Barwicks of Maryland
are descendants of John Barwick, Jr., whose will was pro-
bated in 1736, and William Barwick, whose will was pro-
bated in 1746.

CHAPTER V.
WILLIAM BARWICK.
Was born in 1809 (a merchant) but to which of the
branches of the original stock he belonged the writer
cannot say. The family has for many years resided at
Chesapeake City, Md. He was married to Mary A. Means
and their children were:

teach until the war of '61, when he entered the service as
chaplain of the 85th Regt. 111. Infty., in which he served
until the end of the war. He was then transferred to the
Missouri Conference, teaching and preaching, part of the
time as presiding elder, a part of his time as pastor.
In 1886 he took charge of Linneus circuit, and for
three years he went in and out before us, the loving and
lovely and beloved pastor of his own church and the
devoted friend of all the churches.
Mr. Barwick was married three times — to his last
wife. Miss E. S. Treadway, he was married in 1.S78. Like
Zachariah and Elizabeth they have walked together in all
the ordinances of the Lord's House blameless.
H6 BARWTCK FAMILY HISTORY
James S. Barwick, a grandson of Elijah and son of
Philip Dickerson B., was born in Shelbyville, Ind., Nov.
18, 1845, and now resides at Lincoln, Neb. At the age
of 16 he entered Co. C, 3rd 111. Cavalry, and Served four
ysars; was in thirtsen hard fought battle; and twice
wounded.
Oct. 17, 1867, he married Sarah M. Means, and they are
the parents of Mrs. Mollie Roberts of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs.
Rev. Walter Bilbey, Sunflower, Mo.; W. F. and L. H.
Barwick of Lincoln, Neb. His grandchildren are Gene-
vieva and Walter Roberts; Leonard and Philip Bilbey and
Louise Barwick. The eighth generation. He is manager
of Paragon Granite and Marble monumental work.
3. Nimrod Barwick.
A son of Joshua and brother of Nathan and Elijah
resided in Caroline Co., Md. He married Nancy Webb,
Sept. 28, 1815. His son, William A., was born in Caroline
Co., Md., in 1829. He married Rebecca Seward, and de-
ceased May 11, 1881, and his wife in March, 1902. William
A. was the father of Frank and L. Howard, who reside
at S^ndersville, Md.
Frank married Mollie Reynolds and their children
are Seward, Maggie and William.
L. Howard married Alta Seward, and to them were
born Rebecca and Henry.
No information could be secured of White B., who
was a son of Nimrod. Thus ends one and the only com-
plete branch from 1664 to 1907, or 243 years. May the
blood lines of this common, worthy stock continue in the
same moral and spiritual character and continue to grace
the good blood q:ialities and deeds of the Barwicks for
longer than eight generations hence. ■

CHAPTER VIII,
WILLIAM, JOHN AND NATHAN
Were sons of Edward and grandsons of John Bar-
wick, Sr., of 1664. The writer must say for the many
efforts put forth to secure connecting information up to
the present the least and most disappointing were the re-
sults.
The North Carolina Census Report of Population of
1790, shows as follows:

WILLIAM BARWICK.
The Barwicks of New Hanover County will be first ex-
plained. Drucilla was the widow of William Barwick, and
their children were James, White, Elizabeth and Nancy.
As the chart shows, in the year 1790, White was married,
and the father of one son under 16 years, and two daugh-
ters married. A number of efforts were made to secure
the names of his children, but the efforts were to no sue-
88 BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
cess. Neither could any information be secured of the
family in after years. What should have been easily se-
cured proved the most difficult and leaves a complete
missing link with the Barwick of the state of present date.
The will of William B. is here given in full:
WILL.
"In the name of God, Amen, I, WMlliam Barwick of New
Hanover county, in the State of North Carolina, Planter,
being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make
and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and
form following, viz: First, I will that my just dehts
shall be paid, .after which I give and bequeath my person-
al estate in manner and form following:
"I give to my dearly beloved wife, Drucilla Barwick, the
plantation which I now possess, known by the name of
the Brick House Plantation, opposite Rich Inlet, with the
lands and properties thereunto belonging to her during
her natural life, and after her decease, the same land and
properties to be the right of my two sons, viz: James and
White, to be equally divided between them by three free
holders of said county, which they shall see fit to
choose, and in case either of them should be disposed to
sell his part, the other shall have it on paying him £60
current money of staid state, in twelve months after the
said contract or othei-^ise as they can agree; which land
I will to them and their heirs lawfully begotten; and in
case that either of them should die without heir, the
other to possess the whole lands as above, on paying his
two sisters each £20, namely, Elizabeth and Nancy, being
current money of said state; and in case both my sons die
without heirs, the lands and properties to be equally di-
vided between my two daughters to them and their heirs
forever.
"I also give to my dearly beloved wife, two milch
cows, one featherbed and furniture belonging to it. I also
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY 89
leave to my wife one hor.se and ten: pounds of pewter and
one large iron pot, one chest, one tea kettle, one spice
mortaT, and one pair of hand mill stones.
"I give to my dearly beloved daughter, Elizabi'lh, one
3-year-old heifer and her increase, and one year old steer,
one featherbed and 10 pounds of pewter.
"I give to my dearly beloved daughter, Nancy, two
heifers and their increase, one featherbed and 10 pounds
of pewter.
"I give to my dearly beloved son, James, one cow and
steer and feathers to make a good bed.
"I give to my dearly beloved son, White, two steers,
one three years old and one four years, one iron pot and
hooks, one dictionary, thee breeding sows .and 10 pounds
of pewter.
"I also leave to my dear wife, two breeding sows,
one pair of steelyards and one large bible; to James, one
iron pot and hooks and two breeding sow^s.
"I will that all the rest of my personal estate be
equally divided by three freeholders of said state between
my dearly beloved wife and four children, revoking all
will or wills.
"In testimony whereof, I, the said William Barwick,
has hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 15th
day of June, 177S.
(SEAL) "WILLIAM BARWICK."
NOTE — The writer firmly believes that the court
records of New Hanover Co., N. C, contain information
that will connect James and White B. in direct family lines
with the Barwicks of the state at present. Their
inheriting the land there is somewhere upon record and the
time and way of disiposing of said land.
40 BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
JOHN BARWICK.
By the census repo:t of North Carolina for 1790, John
Barwick was tbe father of one son over sixteen years,
three sons under sixteen years, and one daughter married.
Every effort was made to secure court record information
of Johnston county, wherein he resided, but could secure
nothing. The writer firmly believes such information
is there recorded that would clear up direct family lines
to date. The writer also failed to learn the names of his
sons, or wife and daughter.
He resided in Johnston county earlier than 1768, as
the court records of Carolina county, Md., show that in
said year he acted with power of attorney, in the settle-
ment of his father's (Edward, Sr.) estate in Maryland. It
is also evident at the census report of 1790 he was a very
old man.
• NATHAN BARWICK.
Nothing can be said of Nathan. At the time of the
census report of 1790, his widow, Margaret, resided in
Dobbs county, now Johnston county, and was the mother
of two sons under sixteen years and tw^o daughters mar-
ried.
Whether or not she returned to Maryland is not
known, but the following Will w^as probated in Caroline
Co., Md., Wednesday, April 16, 1811.
"To Mary Barwick and Nancy Glanden all my interest
in a tract of land called Robottom Range, share and share
alike, and all the residue to be equally divided between
said daughters."
"MARGARET . BARWICK."
From this wnll we may infer that her two sons had de-
ceased and there were no male descendants left of Nathan
Barwick.

THE PRESENT BARWICKS
OF
NORTH CAROLINA.
CHAPTER IX.
This branch of the Barwicks has proven a very per-
plexing problem, though it is evident they are not descend-
ants of either William Barwick, who resided at Wilming-
ton, or Nathan, whose widow, Margaret, resided in Dobbs
county.
Taking the census report of 1790 it then leaves
John Barwick,
who resided in Johnston county, as the predecessor of the
present generations. Had there been other Barwicks then
living in the state the Census Reports would have so
named them.
From letters received some give Joshua as the earl-
iest known Barwick, while others give it as John, and the
writer accepts John as correct.
Joshua or John Barwick.
Through John H. Barwick of Griffon, N. C, the follow-
ing information was secured, the names and dates being
obtained from an old bible in his possession.
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
Joshua or John Barwick was the father of
Isaac Barwick,
who was born in 1789, and was the father of Willey A.
Barwick, born May 22, 1816; Craven Tull Barwick, born in
1833, and Henry, Jessie and Elizabeth, whose birth dates
were not given.
Henry was never married, Jessie left his family and
was never again heard from, neither is anything known of
the descendants. Of Elizabeth nothing is known.
CAPT. WILLEY A. BARWICK.
Brother W. A. Barwick was
born in North Carolina, May
22, 1816, and died in Wild-
wood, Florida, November 2,
1905.
He came to Florida from
the state of his nativity when
he was quite a young man.
From Monticello, Jefferson
county, where he had lived
:he greater part of his long
and useful life, he removed
capt. wiiieyA. Bar>.ick. ^o Wildwood. Sumter county,
living in that community for 23 or 24 years, loved and
honored by both white and black.
While we cannot say just at what time in life he
was converted and became a member of the M. E.
Church, South, yet from a conversation with him some
months ago, we gathered that it was when he was a
young man. He said that he joined the church at a
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY 43
meeting while the congregation was singing that won-
derful hymn.
"Come humble sinner in whose breast
A thousand thoughts resolve."
He was a light and help to the community in which he
lived. "The mirror of Godliness and a pattern and exam-
ple to all true Christians in purity of life." He lived for
sixty years or more as an exemplary character.
He was sound in doctrine, fearless and bold in de-
nouncing sin and rebuking wickedness, yet charitable
and kind. As opportunity afforded, he instructed and ex-
horted men with tenderness. Men loved to hear him
pray because he was a good man.
The w^ord of God was the man of his counsel, every
word was the truth to him, being his stay and comfort,
"e'en down to old age." One day he told me that he felt
that his long life was the outcome of his faith in and
obedience to the 5th commandment, "Honor thy father and
thy mother that thy days may he long upon the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee."
Brother Barwick was a brave soldier, a true patriot,
a noble citizen. He was a grand and heroic Confederate
veteran, yet as a Christian philosopher he accepted the
situation of the South's defeat and became loyal to the
Stars and Stripes.
Possessing a magnanimous spirit he forgave his foes
and treated them with great respect.
He had virtues to emulate and vices none. The
strong character of the man was clearly delineated in his
fine physical form and bearing.
I saw him in the prime of his life, which was in the
eventful years of the sixties. Brother Barwick was faithful
never faltering in duty. He was a true and honored ser-
vant of the church, filling its offices as steward, trustee
and Sunday School superintendent as long as his age would
44
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
permit. All throagh his Christian experience, like faith-
ful Abraham of old, he was steadfast.
His benign face and noble open countenance attract-
ed children. It is said that when the Prince of Orange
died that the children wept in the streets. Yea, equally
so at the death of Grandpa Barwick, as all called him.
Brother Barwick was truly a great man.
It was wonderful to hear him quote scripture in the
latter part of his illness, and even just before he became
speechless. A few days prior to his death he received a
glorious baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then for two days
he sang and prayed and shouted. I never witnessed any-
thing like it. His face shown beautifully. It seemed that
a radiance from the cross filled the room. I could not
keep away. What an impression it has made on all!
As I stood and watched him drawing near his last
moments suddenly it appeared that he was mounting up
higher, and higher, and to me like a flash of light he
reached a grand apex and waving his hand back to us,
he said, "Glory, glory, glory, adieu, good-bye," and all that
was immortal swept through the gates of pearl into the
City of God.
With loving and appreciative hands on the evening of
the 3rd of November, 1905, his body was laid to rest.

BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY 45
CRAVEN TULL BARWICK.
The writer can say nothing of his life, but of his
children they are cultured and enterprising. He was
born in 1833, and resided in Lenair county, N. C.
His son, John H. Barwick, is county treasurer, resid-
ing at Kinston, N. C. Prof. A. J. Barwick is a self-edu-
cated man and prominent in educational work as both
teacher and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The
other children are, Joseph, Susie, Jennie, Nancy, Maggie
and Ada of Kinston, N. C; James H. and Albert Bar-
wick, merchants. Granger, N. C. The writer regrets so
limited information of this family.
JOSHUA BARWICK.
Little can be said of this Barwick. He was mar-
ried to^ a Miss Sutton of Lenair county, N. C, and judging
from the date of birth of his one son, he was a brother
of Isaac Barwick, who was born in 1789, and they were
sons of John Barwick of Johnston county, who is traced
back to John Barwick, Sr., of 1664, through chart, page 14.
His four sons were:
1. Alexander W. Barwick, born about 1814, and a
farmer; 2. Sutton Barwick, birth date not given, was
a merchant; 3. Benjamin Barwick, Sr., a farmer; 4.
Jackson Barwick, Sr., neither of their birth dates were
given.
For convenience, Sutton Barwick left no children.
Benjamin Barwick, Sr., left two sons: George Barwick of
Mt. Olive, N. C, whose children are H. J. Barwick and
Albert Barwick of Mt. Olive, N. C, and Mrs. Alice Price
of Seven Springs, N. C, and his second son, Benjamin
Barwick, Sr., of Mt. Olive, N. C, is the father of Julius

The writer regrets there was so limited interest tak-
en in the above relationship. The descendants* from the
original branch are many and should have had a clear
classification.
JOHN BARWICK.
Was a descendant of the North Carolina Barwicks,
and no doubt a brother to Isaac and Joshua,
however, one missing link prevents positive knowledge,
but it is evident he traces direct to John Barwick, Sr.,
of 1664. He moved from North Carolina to Dyer county,
Tenn., about 1824. He was the father of three daugh-
ters, of whom the writer knows nothing, and one son,
JOHN M. BARWICK.
Was born in North Carolina, and at the age of 14
moved with his father to Tennessee. In the year 1S89
48 BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
he married Eliza .1. .Johnston, and they soon homesteaded
160 acres of land near Craborhard, Williams Co., 111.
In the year 1862 he entered the 110th 111. Regt., Co.
C, and was afterwards transferred to Co. D. On May
16. 1863. at the age of 53 he deceased, while in service
ten miles ea^t of Nashville, Tenn. He was the father
of six boys and three daughters, as follows:
1. Wm. D. Barwick (born in 1845) resides at Polzo,
111. His children are: D. J., deceased; Rachel, Jares,
Susie Shelton, Niney Taner, Thomas, Charles and Martin
Barwick of Brownsville, Ind. Ter.
2. James Y. Barwick, born 1845, Cartersville, 111. His
children are, John and Lewis of Cartersville, 111, two
daughters living and one deceased.
3. Henry J. Barwick and his children, Walter, Sam-
uel, Otis, Charley, and one daughter reside at Carters-
ville, 111., and one daughter, Mrs. Taner, at Ashton, 111.
4. Joseph Barwick was born in 1848, and deceased
in 1894. The writer failed to secure or learn any farth-
er information of him or children.
5. Thomas W. Barwick was born in 1852, and resides
at Cartersville, 111., and his children are Sylvester, Fuel,
Partheny and Walter.
6. Eli C. Barwick was born near Craborchard, 111.,
Aug. 13, 1853, and his present address is Alto, La. His
children are: H. M. Barwick (Justice of the Peace and
grocer), Success, Ark.; J. F. Barwick, J. W. Barwick,
Corning, Ark.; E. O. Barwick and Gilbert Barwick, Suc-
cess, Ark.; T. C. Barwick, G. W. Barwick and W. L.
Barwick, Curentview, Mo.
The three daughters of John M. Barwick: 7. Eliz-
abeth and 8, Maltida, are deceased, and 9, Nancy Devan-
port, resides at Craborchard, 111.
The writer desires to here state that the Barwicks
originating from the North Carolina stock are an estim-
BAR WICK FAMILY HISTORY 49
able people and still maintain the noble traits of their
early Maryland predecessors.
JAMES BARWICK
OF
QUEEN ANNS CO., MD.
CHAPTER X.
The above James Barwick remains unclassified.
Through the court records he is mentioned as "James
Barwick of Queen Anns Co., Md., as early as 1731, and
his descendants are traceable up to 1812, but after that
date no further information is known. He is possibly
a descendant of Daniel Barwick of 1652.
It is positively certain he was not .a son of John Bar-
wick of 1664, neither a grandson. He was a land owner
and the court records of the above county will give in-
formation of him should any one desire such.
Being much impressed with the spiritual tone of his
will I here give it in full believing that in his time he
was a good christian mian:
WILL.
"In the name of God, Amen: This 29th day of
jjecember, 1756, I, James Barwick, Sr., of Queen Anns
County, in the Province of Maryland, (Planter), being
weak of body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be
given to God; therefore, do make and ordain this my last
will and testament.
"That is to say, principally, and first of all, I recom-
mend my soul unto the hands of God that gave it. and
my body to the earth to be buried in decent and christian
like manner at the discretion of my executrix hereinafter
named. . .ft.
50 BAHWICK FAMILY HISTORY
Nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I
shall again receive the same by power of Almighty God
and as touching such worldly estates wherewith it hath
pleased God to bless me in this life, I give, bequeath and
dispose of the same in manner and form following:
"I give and bequeath unto Mary Barwick my well be-
loved wife my now dwelling plantation known by the
name of Oakenthorp containing ninety-five acres of land
to be possessed and enjoyed until my son Benjamin shall
arrive at the age of twenty-one years.
"I also give and bequeath unto my son, James Bar-
wick, the land I bought of Thomas Hendsley, containing
sixty acres and also thirty acres more which I bought of
John Miller to him and his heirs to be possessed and
enjoyed forever.
"I also give to my son James one mare and my wear-
ing apparel.
"That my four daughters shall have all my personal
(possibly slaves — Dr. B.) estate equally divided amongst
themselves.
"Lastly: I do appoint my wife, Mary Barwick, the
full and sole executrix of this my last will and testament
this 29th day of December, 1756."
"Probated July 28, 1757.
"JAMES. BARWICK."
Seven years after the above date his wife was, or
had been married to Geo. Heward, and they two adminis-
tered in adjusting the personal estate. It is possible the
above James Barwick was a descendant of Daniel Bar-
wick. The man whom Daniel Barwick came to this coun-
try with was granted land in Queen Anns county.
The writer made a diligent effort to secure informa-
tion but could find no one who proved trustworthy. It
is evident that in many places there is information not
yet secured which would aid in tracing up Daniel Bar-
wick, as well as those of North Carolina and of the Darl-
ington District of South Carolina.
BARWICK FAMILY HISTOKY 51
JAMES JUMP BARWICK.
AND
HIS DESCENDANTS.
CHAPTER XI.
James Jump Barwick was born in Queen Anns Co..
Md., May 3, 1800. Owing to numerous James and Johns of
those times, and lack of wills even previous, it is another
family chain wherein is a missing link making it impos-
sible to connect direct with the early Barwicks although
there is evidence of direct relationship.
The middle name, Jump, was the name of his moth-
er, and on Aug. 4, 1799, Edward Barwick was married to
Sarah Jump of Carolina County, but no information could
be secured to make direct relationship, but it is probable
that Edward Barwick and Sarah Jump were the parents
of James Jump Barwick.
He had two brothers, John and Henry, who lived
in what was called Tuckey Ho Neck in eastern Maryland.
At an early date he settled on the Ohio river and en-
gaged in boat building, and on Aug. 19, 1828, was married
to Emaline Gaines of Chillicothe, Ohio. To them were
born the father of the writer on Dec. 30, 1830, James Ed-
ward Barwick.
Losing his companion by death he afterwards married
Miss Nancy Brown and resided in Warren county, Ind.
To them were born six children: Nicholas. Frank, John.
Eliziabeth, Henry and Milton.
Again, by death of his wife, he a third time was mar-
ried to Betsy Ann Pugh to whom were born children:
Ohio, Indiana, Virginia and Charley.
He was religious in life and deceased in Warren coun-
ty, Ind., in 1870. His children and descendants are as fol-
lows:
52
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
James Edward Barwick
Was raised in Warren county, Ind. Little can the writer
say of his father's boyhood, or early life as he deceased
when the writer was a boy. June 8, 1857, he united with
the M. E. Church at Shelbyville, 111., and later placed his
membership with the M. E. Church of Sandusky, Iowa.
He was a mechanic by trade, of good habits, well re-
spected, of fair ability, of good appearance and was
qualified to fill places of trust. He had a strong inclina-
tion to the medical profession, having studied medicine
to some extent, but at the above place began preaching in
the Methodist Church and was for some years a local M.
E. minister.
At the above place he was married to Miss Rebecca
Hixson of Preble county, Ohio. To them were born Mary,
Willie and Edward, who deceased in childhood, and James
Frank, Dr. Samuel Omar, and Rev. Henry Milton Bar-
wick, who still live.
Was born in
Gratis, P. O.,
James Frank Barwick
Iowa, March 26, 1861,
but raised near
Preble Co.
James Frank Barwick.
Ohio. From boyhood to his
nineteenth year he was a
farm hand when he then en-
tered school and was for
several years engaged in at-
tending and teaching school.
His present home is at
Hockley, Texas, where he is
engaged in general merchan-
dise. He is married but has
no children. As the old story
often is told, of his educa-
tion and earthly goods they
are results of personal ambi-
tion and self-perseverance.
BARWICK FAMILY HISTORY
Dr. Samuel Omar Barwick
Was born in Iowa, May 9, 1863, and raised in Preble
county, Ohio. The writer considers it imprudent to emu-
late his own life, but will state that at the age of seven
3'ears he was placed
out with stmngers
to earn his board
and clothes, and con-
tinued a farm hand
until the beginning
of his twenty-fourth
year when he enter-
ed the Salina Nor-
mal University of
Salina, Kansas, the
spring of 1887, and
returned to Preble
county, Ohio, late in
the fall of 1888.
It was then the
writer began the
study of medicine
and pharmacy and
Dr. s. o. Barwick. after one year in
the Ohio State Medical University of Columbus, Ohio,
and two terms in the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincin-
nati, Ohio, graduated June 5, 1894.
The writer practiced medicine eighteen months at
Brookville, Ohio, and the remaining time in Elkhart
county, Ind. While the writer is well versed in the
struggles of life to succeed, yet those conditions of life
r,4
HAinVlCK FAMILY HISTORY
are coiumitled to the past, and the greatest desire is to
live a useful, intellectual and christian career, and
to enlighten and unite the scattered Barwick family as
to lineal knowledge of a common and worthy people.

No account of the children of the third marriage could
be secured. This ends the descendants of James Jump
I'.arwick.
WILLIAM BARWICK. Sr.
OF THE
DARLINGTON DISTRICT
OF
SOUTH CAROLINA.
CHAPTER XII.
Every effort was made to secure information which
would connect the above William Barwick with the Bar-
wicks of Maryland, but the effort was a failure.
The writer possesses a copy of "The South Carolina
Marriage Report" from 1732 to 1801, but finds no mention
of any Barwicks being married during that time. How-
ever, there was on John Berwick and a Beswicke re-
ported.
From a close study of names and the characteristics
of his descendants there are strong lineal resemblances of
those of Maryland, and possibly he was a son of either
James or Solomon Barwick, which see in chart, page 14.
The earliest account of William Barwick and his wife
Elizabeth, was secured from the court records at Darling-
ton, S. C. On July 3, 1786, he was granted 640 acres of
land and at a later date 240 acres more. August 25, 1807,
he deeded 240 acres to his son, Nathan, and in other
land transfers others of his sons were mentioned, viz:
Benjamin, John and James, and in the year 1820 his son
Noel administered on the estate of William Barwick and
his wife, Elizabeth.
BAR WICK FAMILY HISTORY. 57
The above is all that is known of William B. and his
wife, saving his children, which were in number, fifteen,
and the descendants are to this day a most commendable
people who numiber more than a few.
AN INTERESTING LETTER.
The following letter of much interesting information
was furnished the writer by Mrs. Martha Robbins of Bass-
field, Miss., who is a daughter of Noel Barwick, and a
granddaughter of William B., who resided in Darlington
District, S. C. The letter was written in 1846, and is of
the old form of folding. It was written by Benjamin to
Noel Barwick of Williamsburg, Miss.:
Georgia, Washington Co., Sept. 1st, 1846."
"Dear Bro. and Sister: — Once more through the
mercy of an Allwise Providence in lengthening out the
thread of my life for sixty-three years almost, I sit down
to write to you to inform you of the health of my family.
"I have been very sick for several weeks but am get-
ting up again. My wife and my son, William B. Barwick,
are well. I am nothing of very great importance at this
time.
"There are better crops in this county than I have
ever known since I have been in Georgia or Washington
county. I live within one quarter of a mile of Sanders-
ville. I want to see you or hear from you by letter or
otherwise. All our family connections are well as far
as I know.
Sister Rhoda went to Florida last winter two years
ago, and the next September she died in Hope of Eternal
Rest where trouble is all over. Our brother Samuel died
last February in Alabama.

miles above Columbus and are doing very well. She
writes me they have two negroes and money to buy two
more.
"James daughter lives close to Nathan. She married
a man by the name of Moses Hutcheson.
"Brother, I should be glad if I were living close
by you. There are only three in family, my&elf, wife and
little boy by the name of Wm. B. Barwick. He is twelve
years old. My wife's name before we married was
Phoebe Curry.
"Dear brother, I want you to try to come and see me
if you can. Write to me the first and every opportunity.
I do want to see you very much. Give my best respects
to your wife and all the children. Dear brother, excuse

I am your loving brother till death."

To

ive for the tender brotherly affection manifested. Not in
every Barwick, but the greater number by far are of a
spiritual mind and devoted to their Creator for blessings
received.

THE PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK
has covered a time of three years and at a cost of
$200.00 to secure the information herein contained.
Many to whom letters were addressed for information
never replied making some family classifications difficult
and imperfect.
Family histories, covering such a length of time, are
very tedious, requiring much work in correctly classifying
family lines.
The writer believes every Barwick should purchase
one or more books in order to aid in the actual expense of
producing this work.
The recompense for services in preparing this work
is nothing, excepting good will from those receiving bene-
fit and information from its pages.
IIAKWICK FAMILY HISTORY
NOTES AND ADDRESSES OF BERWICKS OF U. S. A.
CHAPTER XIV.
It is evident that the two names of Berwick and Bar-
wiclv verged from the same family of long ago. In the
family of Thomas de Berwick of 650 years ago the two
.-prllin^s referred to the same family.
THE ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION.
The names Berwick, 13arwick and Warwick comes un-
der the classified pronunciation of England, Ireland and
Scotland.
Berwick is given as berrik, Barwick as barrik, and
Warwick as warrik, but in this country mostly the term
wick is used.
Of the various spellings the above three forms only
are used in English print. There is no question but the
Barwicks of this country originally belong to the Berwicks
and it is altogether probable that the Warwicks are of
like origin.
The writer observed the statement in a work of
reference that the name Berwick was so old its origin
was unknown, and there is no question but such names as
Warwick, Beswick, Barrick and many of the spellings for-
merly referred to in this book all verged from the original
Berwick.
There are no less than eleven P. O. in this country
by the name Berwick, and at least tw^o named Barwick.
The writer made no extensive search for the Berwicks
but will briefly given the ones known.
THOMAS BERWICK,
was a native of Pennsylvania, and Aug. 14, 1768, married
Eleanor Wallace. He deceased in 1789, and his wife in
181.5. From where he came is not known. There is a
reasonable belief that he is one from the Marvland Bar-
wicks. His children were: Thomas, born 1770, died 1849;
Cambria, born 1772. died 1787; Imogene, born 1773- Mary
born 1775 Joseph, born 1776 Eleanor, born 1778; name un
known, 1780, and Elizabeth, 1785. Of his children nothing
is known saving
JOSEPH BERWICK,
who was one of the first settlers on the Johnson Plantation
in S . Mary's Parish, Foster, P. O., -La. It is known he
had two sons at least, who were:
DAVID BERWICK
who was bo-n in 1808, and resided on the same Plantation
BARWICK FAMILY HISTOHV
and his children were: Mrs. White, Pensacola, Fla., and
O. D. Be— 'ck of same P. O., who is the father of six
sons, one being Dr. E. C. lier-
wick of Franklin, La. As to
other members of David's
family the writer was not in-
formed. The other son was:
Nathan Berwick,
Of same Plantation, and
whose children were: Clar-
ence, deceased; Mrs. (Dr.)
R. C. White, Pensacola, Fla.,
and Beverly Berwick, whose
only son is
Dr. I. C. Berwick,
who was born in Morgan
City, La., in 1877, and is now
C. Berwick.
a practicing physician and surgeon of Berwick, La.
E. A. BERWICK,
of Osseo, Mich., is one of eight children, whose father
came from Huntingshire, England, in 1852, and has since
lived at Hillsdale, Mich.
There is an E. Berwick & Co. of Shelburn, Ontario. It
is the writer's opinion there are not many Berwicks in
tnis country while of the Warwicks and Barricks there
was no search made.
DR. F. ADDISON BERWICK
Graduated from The Medical College of Indiana. (Indian-
apolis) in 1889, but his origin or present address are un-
known. Also Dr. Paul Berwig in 1877.
NOTE: — In this country as well as in England the
leading professions of the Barwicks and Berwicks for sev-
eral generations has been and yet is the ministry and med-
ical.
The writer secured a book from London, England,
written by Edward Barwick, M. A., of Trinity College,
Dublin, and published by George Be'rwick in 1813. The
title page is as follows:
"A treatise on the church chiefly with respect to its

land proved to be a sound and orthodox part of the Cath-
o-.c Church. Compiled from the most eminent divines."
