Profiles Mentioned:

Anne Witt Barney was not the wife of Jacob I, she was the wife of Rev. Jacob Barney II I had heard rumor from Cliff Barney past editor of The Barney Family News. They thought that was were she was buried, but Valentine Barney said no he thought she was Buried in Newport, RI in the" Old Burying Ground ". Since I live just outside of Westerly, RI it was an easy check trip from here to Newport, RI . My husband and I went into the large History museum there and they told me " No she is here ". So we found her grave. She is buried next to her grandson Harry Hampton ( he was very young) Ann Witt Barney ( only suspect that her grandson was ill ) Somewhere In this I will enclose a photo of her grave and Harry Hamptons too. I cleaned up the stones and then photographed both stones.
Sincerely

Margaret Harding Davis @ Ann Witt Barney
