Barnabas Stetson I

Barnabas Stetson I was baptized on July 16, 1682, so it can be inferred that he was born before that date. He died on December 27, 1742. He was the son of John Stetson I and Abigail Hudson. Barnabas was born insane and his cousin, Gershom Stetson I, was appointed as his guardian. After his death, the inheritance that Barnabas received from his own father went to his only two siblings that were still alive, Abigail and Honour.
