Notes - BIOGRAPHY: The Barretts were established in Concord with the arrival of Humphrey Barrett and his wife Mary from England around 1640. His son Humphrey (b. 1630) left two sons, Joseph and Benjamin, at his death in 1715. Joseph’s descendents included a son, John, and a great-grandson, Joel. Benjamin had eight children, including Thomas and James. Thomas (1707-1779) was a farmer who later became a church deacon. Col. James Barrett (1710-1779) served as Concord’s representative to the General Court in Boston from 1768-1777, and was a well-known Revolutionary leader in Concord. Thomas’s son Samuel (1749-1804) continued to acquire land in Concord (while brothers Charles and Amos left Concord for other towns), and Samuel’s son Samuel Barrett (1773-1825) had a gristmill in Concord - hence the present-day "Barretts Mill Road". One of Col. James Barrett’s sons, Nathan (1735-1791), had many children, including Nathan, Ephraim, Susanna and William. Stephen (1750-1829), another of Col. James Barrett’s sons, was the father of Sally and Cyrus Barrett.
