Abstract | Barnard was a member of the Gideonites who came to the South Carolina sea islands in 1862 in the Port Royal Experiment to educate freed slaves. He became superintendent of the Edisto Island School. Two letters, 1862, from Barnard in South Carolina to his uncle in Boston, and enclosures in those letters consisting of letters written to Major William Meggett Murray of Edisto Island in 1832 and 1860-1862.

Included among the letters to Murray are two, 1832, concerning a meeting of the State Rights and Free Trade Party of St. Johns Colleton, Charleston District, S.C.; two, 1860, about prospects for a convention in Columbia, S.C., and opposing participation in the presidential nomination process while favoring secession; and one, 1861, from the ordnance office in Charleston to Major Murray, requesting muskets. |
