mother, two brothers and a sister, left the North of Ireland
Dublin (Scotch Irish) on the good ship George and Anne in the
"Clinton Expedition" on 20 May 1729. They landed on 4 Oct., 1729
after 139 days at sea. There were 96 deaths on board including
the father, also named James Barkley and his (unknown )mother
who were buried at sea. The three surviving Barkley children
included James, a brother and a sister who remained in Cape Cod
one winter then went north. Their journey took them to New York
City and Basking Ridge, NJ-(having relatives there) to “Little
Britian” Montgomery, Orange Co., New York. They were raised
by people named Barber. (See Barclays of New York-Michigan State

A sack of gold which the father was known to possess was
not to the found when the children left the ship. According to
a descendent of Clinton, the captain had an unsavorory reputation
and was responsible for the long time in crossing and for the
sickness and deaths on board.
The above James BARKLEY married Mary MOFFET in 1743. He
was one of the first Trustees of the Goodwill Church, Montgomery,
Orange County,New York. To them were born five sons and one
daughter.
