Benjamin Barrett Farm at Concord, Mass.

  
Barrett House, taken in 1896

Barrett House, as restored so far in 2010

The original Barrett Farmhouse, built about 1704 by our ancestor Benjamin Barrett (born 1681), is currently being restored as part of the Concord Battle Site of the Minuteman Park.  Here's a link to the project: http://home.comcast.net/~jamesbarrettfarm/

 
Our branch of the family descends from the original Humphrey Barrett who settled in Concord, Massachusetts in 1639.  His son Humphrey (Jr.) was the father of the Benjamin Barrett who built this home. 

Benjamin's son, grandson and great grandson were all named Benjamin too.  This 4th Benjamin was the father ot Ezra Barrett and grandfather to our Edward Harris Barrett.
