A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
From the Wright-Chamberlin Genealogy: From Immigrant Ancestors to Present Generations, Eunice Miena Barber, Vail-Ballou Company, 1914, p. 87: Mary Chamberlin, born January 16, 1820; married, October 27, 1838, Hiram Barnum, born August 9, 1808; died August 16, 1874. For several years, he was proprietor of the Summers Hotel at what is now Summersville, Susquehanna Co., Penn., which, during their stay, was noted for its good tables and was much frequented by the young people and pleasure seekers. Then getting the "western fever," they, in company with his brother Horace and wife, went west but sickness in their families brought them back to Pennsylvania, where, for several years, he ran the hotel at Clifford Corners. Later they removed to what is now Hallstead, Penn., where they spent the remainder of their lives. She died May 15, 1882.
