More Pieces to the Barnes Puzzle

I must say the Barnes family can be Linked to many prominent early families of Connecticut. I found this on line the other day and it not only helped to fill in some dates I didn't have, but added to some stories that I had come across earlier.

Take time to read about William,John and Gideon Ives. Gideon's son Elanthan
(spelled at least 3 ways so far) married our Abigail Frisbie whom I've mentioned
earlier.

I have one story about Gideon, related in a History of Bristol, being a great hunter and came to the Bristol area (then known as the West Woods) often.

His hunting companion was Capt. Jesse Gaylord (another name of our area) They were being stalked by an Indian who was taken aim one of them and the other man shot the Indian, who they buried in a swamp. The two families have different stories as to who shot the Indian. The story was never told until old age as not to cause an Indian attack. I think the real reason was they were from the New Haven colony and The west woods were part of Farmington.
I also found a great site that I need to explore, but haven't had time yet. It has info on Grandmother Ida Allen Barnes family. I have so many directions to go, but am fascinated by this local history.
