Daniel Barber has left a 'History of My Own Times' Washington 1827 in which he states that his father and mother were Congregational Dissenters of strict Puritanic rule and he continued in that sect until his twenty-seventh year when he joined the Episcopalians. Previous to this he had served two terms as a soldier in the Continental army" "Barber Family" by Thomas Francis Meehan Catholic Encyclopedia website accessed May 01 2026. <br /> "Daniel Barber came from good Puritan stock and was a fine upstanding Congregationalist minister. Until some Episcopalians convinced him that Apostolic Succession matters when it comes to ministerial Orders. So he became an Episcopalian priest. He was a fine upstanding Episcopalian priest for many years. He and his wife Chloe raised three children as good Episcopalians. But eventually the question of Apostolic Succession came back to him and he realized that Episcopalianism didn't satisfy the question of Apostolic Succession - the Catholics actually had it and the Episcopalians didn't. Meantime his son Virgil had also become a fine upstanding Episcopalian priest. He and his wife Jerusha were in charge of a good school and had a comfortable life with their children. But a chance encounter with a pamphlet on the life of St. Francis Xavier fired his heart to seek the faith that motivated a man like St. Francis to do what he'd done. Eventually Virgil and Jerusha became Catholic. Then Chloe converted along with a number of other members of the family. And finally Daniel also became Catholic. The entire affair was very upsetting to fine upstanding New England Protestant sensibilities and caused a sensation" "Barber Family" by Thomas Francis Meehan Catholic Encyclopedia website accessed May 01 2026. <br /> FIRST EDITION.
