Humphrey Barrett, Jr., born in England, 1630, and came to Concord with his parents. He married Elizabeth Paine in 1661; issue by this marriage, a daughter Mary, who married Josiah Blood. His wife, Elizabeth Paine, died in 1674, and in 1675 he married Mary Potter, a daughter of Luke Potter, one of the first settlers in Concord. Thus Humphrey Barrett, Jr., and Mary Potter, his wife, became the common ancestors of the Concord branch of the Barrett family of New England. Their sons, Joseph and Benjamin Barrett, married the sisters Rebecca and Lydia Minott, respectively, daughters of James and Rebecca (Wheeler) Minott of Concord.
Humphrey Barrett, Jr. was a deacon of the church of Concord; admitted a freeman, May 24, 1662; was a deputy and representative to the General Court, 1691, and ensign of the foot company. Major General Gookin, in 1685, reported to the General Court that the Concord train band “had but one commissioned officer that officiates in the company, viz., Left. Buss, who is very aged, and not well able to conduct the affairs of ye great company, therefore, having informed himself as the fittest man to supply the place of ensign for that company, did propose to the court, Humphrey Barrett, who was a freeman, and of ye church at Concord, a sergeant of that company, that the court would make him ensigne of Concord foot company.” He was appointed and approved on Oct. 14, 1685.---Walcott’s Colonial Period.

The story of Luther Blanchard, fifer, and Francis Barker, drummer, taking up their places at the head of the line, striking up the tune of ‘The White Cockade’ in my early childhood, strongly appealed to my imagination, and I never visit the historic ground without their almost visably appearing to me. Luther was the first man hit by British ball at the Old North bridge and went to the house of Humphrey Barrett to have his wound bandaged.

Upon stepping ashore we at once entered a path by the meadow side, which we were told would take us to Parson Bulkeley’s house, when we met Goodmen Humphrey Barrett and George Hayward, each carrying a gun with a long slender barrel and a short stock. We recognized them at once having met them the day previous at the village store. They informed us that they were going up the river duck hunting and would be glad of our
company.
