Many genealogies freely confuse the several Thomas Barneses of Connecticut. Because these men immigrated from England, probably in the 1630s, and lived in colonial Connecticut in adjacent counties, it is quite difficult to keep the facts concerning them separate, but they are indeed unrelated individuals. To add to this confusion, there were at least two other Thomas Barneses in the nearby Massachusetts Colony who were alive at about the same time (Trescott, 1907, p. 4-5).[1]
