Ezra Barrett of Warner, New Hampshire

Edward Harris Barrett's father was Ezra Barrett.  Ezra had left Massachusetts before 1818 to go to Warner, New Hampshire.  He was deacon of the church, and well known for his singing abilities. He went on to be a singing teacher and even published a song book in 1829 called the "Sabbath School Psalmody."

Here is a reference to him teaching a large school in 1823-24 in the town of Henniker, NH.
