Descendants of Harmen Vanderbeck

Generation No. 3

7. Herman Rowe¹¹ Barnecott (Sarah Ann¹⁰ Vanderbeck, Harmen⁹, Paul⁸ Vanderbeek, Paulus⁷, Paulus J.⁶, Jacob⁵, Paulus⁴, Conrad³, Paulus², Cornelis¹) was born September 1852 in New York, and died July 19, 1903 in Bronx, NY. He married Sarah Elizabeth Needham May 19, 1886 in Tremont, NY, daughter of George Needham and Jane Corty. She was born Abt. 1862 in Fordham, Bronx, New York.

Notes for Herman Rowe Barnecott:
Herman is listed as a printer in various census and in some directories. He is listed as a painter in one directory. I think he was a printer and is mislabeled a painter in the 1879 -1880 NYC directory. He is listed as a printer in the 1890 directory. I believe he may be the same man listed as Rowe H. Barnecott in the 1887 -1888 directory; or this may be the son of John Barnecott of Westchester County. John seems to have owned the carriage shop that Richard and his sons worked at in Westchester.

Herman was buried in St Peters cemetery in the Bronx (part of St. Peter's Episcopal church) on July 21, 1903 at the age of 51 years. I got this information from the church records that still survive in old books.

Herman was listed as Rowe H. Barnecott on his marriage certificate to Sarah Elizabeth Needham. They were married by Philip Germond a "clergyman" in 1886. She was from South Fordham. The certificate number is 69038.

In 1900 Herman was living with his sister. He is listed as a widow on his death certificate. Was Sarah dead? Where are the children?

His draft registration lsits him as crippled with a right short leg. He worked as a ticket agent for the NYNHRR (just like his cousin?). He registered on June 5, 1917 and he is single. He lists his borthday as Feb 13, 1891 on the registration.

IN the 1920 census he is listed as a boarder at 1457 Ferris Place. He is working as a chauffer.

By the 1930 census he is marreid to Harriet and living at 1419 Rowland place. He is listed as 37 in that census, although he is really 39 and both he and Harriest say they married at 30. They list no children. He has his own Taxi and is a chauffer. The listing spells his name "Barneycot"

8. Francis (Frank) A.¹¹ Barnecott (Sarah Ann¹⁰ Vanderbeck, Harmen⁹, Paul⁸ Vanderbeek, Paulus⁷, Paulus J.⁶, Jacob⁵, Paulus⁴, Conrad³, Paulus², Cornelis¹) was born November 1856, and died June 28, 1922. He married Katherine (Katie) Henrietta O'Connell Abt. 1883, daughter of James O'Connell and Mary Doyle. She was born May 30, 1858 in NYC, and died December 21, 1928 in Bronx. New York.

Notes for Francis (Frank) A. Barnecott:
Summer, 2000

Married Dennis Barnecott's Sister Katherine, known as Katie. He is listed as an iron moulder in the 1880 census. He is buried in Woodlawn; Honeysuckle ares, range 24, plot 243. The headstone looks to be made out of a sandy stone. The name Barnecott was carved into the top; however, with weathering is now barely legible. (Todays date 07/12/2000). I am sure within ten years it will be totally illegible; however, the names on the front should remain legible for many years.

I believe the actual birth date for Frank is 1854. He is listed on his headstone as 1857; however, the 1870 census and 1880 census lists him as 16 and 26 respectfully, thereby, supporting my belief.

He is listed as an iron moulder on his death certificate.

02/21/2001

1900 census lists Frank as being born in November, 1856
1890 police census lists him as 38, or being born in 1852?

05/05/2002

The 1910 census list him as being 59 years old (born in 1851?
1910 census = 30 Pct, 34 AD Bronx Roll 1001 Part 2 Page 243 A ED 1572

03/07/2003
Finally, I have found the Barnecotts living in Kingsbridge in the 1860 census. frank is listed as six years old; therefore, he was almost definitely born in 1853 or 1854.

Notes for Katherine (Katie) Henrietta O'Connell:
According to Ruth Fischer, Katie was so big, that you would hear her feet hit the ground when she walked. She is buried in Woodlawn with her husband Frank. Honeysuckle area of cemetery; Plot number 243.

02/21/2001
According to the 1900 census, Katie was born in May, 1858
Census: 1900, NY ED 1033, Reel 1126, Image 86, P 291?

According to St. Augustine Catholic church of the Bronx, Catherine was baptized on June 6, 1858
