David, I descend from Thomas and brother, Robert Barnard who purchased shares in Nantucket from Tristram Coffin.
I also descend from Sir Henry Vane.As far as I know they
are not related. Barnard Castle and Raby Castle were owned by the powerful Neville Family and they lost these two pieces of real estate in Durham which went back to the crown. Sir Henry Vane Sr. purchased these two pieces of real estate from the crown. His son, George, held Barnard
Castle and his descendants today still hold the title of
Baron of Barnard Castle and Member of Parliament. Barnard
Castle looks like it was in the middle of warfare and is
in partial ruin.Raby Castle is in good condition. It was
built to house the knights and their horses quite comfortably and has been well maintained over the centuries. The Barnards may be been related to the Neville
Family, I don't know. It seems that just about everyone of
the Landed Gentry had at least one Nevile ancestor.
The Neville Family fell from favor when they lost the war
with Mary, Queen of Scots. I haven't studied that war with
Queen Elizabeth I, so I cannot say more about it other than
it was a religious war.
