The names and dates for Thomas Barnam, his wife and their 16 children were copied from his family Bible, in the possession of Patrick Barnum, Zapopan, Jalisco, México. The Bible is inscribed opposite the title page, "Thomas Barnam, his Bible. He was born ye 19th day of Feby ye 1722."
No other record has been found for any member of this family. Since the family bible itself was printed in England, it is possible that this is an English family, not resident in the North American Colonies.
