Barnhart paternal line

April 07, 2026 — Wintermute

I have been doing some geneology research, and I've managed to trace both parent's paternal lines back pretty far. I am documenting the Barnhart line here:

  • Johann Gottlieb Bernhardt (1520-1596) Germany
  • Gustav Bernhart (1555-1603) Germany
  • Emmerich Bernhard (1575-1613) Germany
  • Nicolas Bernhard (1593-1657) Germany
  • Georg Johann Bernhart (1642-1686) Germany
  • Joann Mathesis Barnhart (1679-1733) Germany
  • Johannes Mathias Bernhardt (1729-1794) Germany - died in East Buffalo, Union Co, PA, USA
  • Mathias Barnhart (1770-1842) Union Co, PA, USA
  • George Barnhart (1798-1844) Union Co, PA, USA - died in Green Township, Ross Co, OH, USA
  • William Henry Barnhart (1825-1891) Green Township, Ross Co, OH, USA
  • Franklin Barnhart (1863-1944) Ross Co, OH, USA - died in Lancaster, Fairfield Co, OH, USA
  • Hugh Franklin Barnhart (1900-1982) Colerain Township, Ross Co, OH, USA - died in Lancaster, Fairfield Co, OH, USA
  • Robert Delno Barnhart (1939-2025) Columbus, Franklin Co, OH, USA - died in Danielson, Windham Co, CT, USA

There you have it. The 13 generations of Barnharts before me. I will document the Mathias line in a separate post. Then I will likely begin working on the maternal lines of both parents.
