228. Benjamin B.7 BARBER Sr (Thomas6, Thomas5, Moses4, James A.3, James2, Thomas1) (#106) was born in Hopkinton, Washington Co., RI OCT 1765. Benjamin died 17 JAN 1854 in Galway, Saratoga Co., NY, at age 88. His body was interred JAN 1854 in Saratoga Co., NY.

He married Mary "Polly" CRANDALL circa 1795 in Fulton Co., NY. May be Westerly, Washington Co., RI (Mary "Polly" CRANDALL is #107.)

Mary was born 29 OCT 1774 in Westerly, Washington Co., RI. 22 OCT 1772 on her tomb stone and she was also listed as the wife of Benjamin Barber Mary was the daughter of Elijah CRANDALL and Eunice BROUGHTON.

Mary died 12 MAR 1863 in Marquette Co., WI, at age 88. or 1853 as some have said, but I feel 1863 is correct because she was listed as Polly 85 yrs old in the 1860 census in Bradford K. Barber family.

Her body was interred MAR 1863 in Marquette Co., WI. Westfield South Cem. Marquette Co., WI. dates on tomb stone read Mary Barber wife of Benj. Barber b. 22 Oct 1772 d 12 Mar 1853/63(?) She was alive and on the 1860 census living with her son Bradford K. Barber at age 85. Therefore the date of 1853 is incorrect. Use 1863. Polly went to live with her son Bradford K. Barber after her husband Benjamin died. There is many whom list Benjamin B. Barber wife as Lucy Crandall. I disagree with this as he shows up in NY Census with wife Mary and then Mary "Polly" shows up with their son Bradford K Barber in Marquette Co., WI. She is buried there with his family. I also wrote and also emailed rountinely with the late Earl P. Crandall with this information and he concured that his records showed that Mary "Polly" Crandall was the wife of Benjamin B. Barber, and that she was the daughter of Elijah & Eunice (Broughton) Crandall. The 1840 Census of Saratoga Co., NY has Benjamin (Sr.) and his wife with son Benjamin (Jr) with his family living next door.
