Barnard Family
(1) Elisha d. 18 March 1836 (Sumner County Will, 1836) and Rebecca ?, b. 1765, d. 1845 ca
Barnard are probably buried in one of the many unmarked graves in the large old Barnard-Bush
family cemetery.
(2) Luke Barnard was born 17 August 1796 most probably in North Carolina and died 18
December 1880. He inherited his father's farm on Drakes Creek near the old Bush Family
Cemetery where he is buried.
(2) Luke Barnard and Martha E. ?
Sally B, daughter of Jesse Bradley b. 29 October 1794, d. 20 January 1863 and Lucinda Tribble,
b. May 1800, d. 2 December 1883. Both born NC. Could these be the Bradley family which is
reflected in the middle name of Reuben "Bradley" Lovell?
Thomas and Sanford are buried in the Bush Family Cemetery. Houston is buried in the Ebenezer
Cemetery. Both are located in Sumner Co., Tennessee. Based upon the marriages between the
Barnard, Lovell and Bradley families, all of whom hale from North Carolina, it can be presumed
these families were closely tied for many years and thus explains the middle name of "Bradley"
for Reuben Lovell. The information given here was obtained from Mary and Paul Garrett of
Franklin, Kentucky in 1981 from personal interviews, Family Records, 1850 census records and
Sumner Co., TN Cemetery Records
