Pop-up Pedigree

     John Bomfit Barnum [barnum2.FTW]

According to his descendant Duane E. Howard, John Bomfit Barnum is presumed to have lived in Pennsylvania in 1834, the year in which his son John Watkins Barnum was born. The family of John Barnom is listed in Lycoming County, Elkland Township, state of Pennsylvania, U.S. Census of 1830, as follows:

Males of 20 and under 30 - 1 Females under 5 - 2 Females of 20 and under 30 - 1

U.S. Census of 1840, Athens Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania: Barnum, John males - 130001 females - 11001

The John Barnum family is listed in the 1850 U.S. Census for Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania (Family 254, Page 317), as shown below. The comments in the parentheses were supplied by Duane Howard:

John, age 48, born NY (John Bomfit Barnum) Phoebe, age 39, born NY (she was Phoebe Kelly) Jane, age 19, born PA Washington, age 18, born PA John, age 15, born PA (John Watkins Barnum) Ruth, age 13, born PA Thomas, age 11, born PA Rial, age 9, born PA (this has to be Royal S. Barnum) Sarah, age 7, born PA Lewis C., age 4, born PA

The family followed the Oregon Trail and settled in the area which became, in 1848, the Washington Territory. It was there that John Bomfit Barnum died about 1855, in the newly-founded city of Seattle. 'The Barnum Family, 1517-1904' confirms his death in 1855.

Some of his sons began to emigrate from the Territory of Oregon, with John Watkins, George Washington and Royal S. Barnum moving to Wisconsin. He and his family moved to the Oregon Territory and settled in that part that in 1848 became Washington Territory.
'The Barnum Family, 1350-1907' gives a birth year of 1804. He was born on 17 February 1806 at Putnam, NY, USA.5,6,7 He was the son of Bethuel Barnum and Sarah Molineaux.5,6,7 John Bomfit Barnum married Phoebe Kelly on 19 February 1829. John Bomfit Barnum died in 1855 at Seattle, WA, USA.

Pop-up Pedigree

     Levi Barnum [barnum2.FTW]

NOTES by Lew Barnum: Levi served in Company F, 56th NY, together with two of his sons. He enlisted June 12, 1861 at Liberty, NY. Mustered in August 29, 1861 from Newburgh, NY. Age shown as 42 but, since his birth date is given in the book "Genealogical Record of the Barnum Family ..." as 1813, something doesn't jibe. I had a birth date of 1802, which still doesn't jibe, but Melody found a Levi Barnum in the 1820 census in Sullivan County, NY and that would have made him 18 and includable as an adult. It also would have made him 59 on entry to the Army, ... I don't know! Another possibility ... , if he was 42 on enlistment, as the record shows, he would then have been born abt 1819. His father then would have been 63 years old. If my date of 1802 is correct, there may well have been another Levi Barnum here who may have been his father and who would have been about 17 when he was born. His physical description was given as 5'9," blue eyes, dark hair, and light complected.

A letter dated Feb 18, 1862 from son Isaac writing from Carver Barracks, Washington, DC, says "Father sends his love to you all." Muster Record shows he was sent from Harrison's Landing because of sickness. August 25th record states "Surgeon Van Etten says he should be discharged." He apparently never recovered, however, and died at Fairfax Seminary General Hospital on October 11. He was buried, October 12, on the hospital grounds.
In Fairfax Seminary General Hospital.
