Barter is an uncommon English surname. There was a William Barter in Kennebunkport in 1755. His father was a Welchman who came to America in the same vessel with William Pepperell, father of Sir William, about 1675 (History of Kennebunkport, P 225). His relation, if any, to Henry is unknown. There was a John Barter of Kittery who married Deborah Keene, of Kittery, intentions October 18, 1720, married December 15, 1720 (VR's, P 90).
He may have been a relative. Henry subscribed to the covenant at the Lower Parish Church in Kittery (Kittery Point) in 1714 (NEHGR 151[1997]:41).
Henry was a deacon at the church [NEHGR 151[1997]:43). He was chosen a messenger to go with the Pastor to Wells (ibid) October 4, 1724.
Henry was a selectman in 1709. In 1711 he was on a grand jury and a deacon in 1720. He lived at the east end of Crocket's Neck (Old Kittery, P 283).
On March 23, 1730/1, the Kittery Proprietors voted him 28s (Kittery Proprietors Records, 1713-1782, P 8). There was a Henry Barter, with wife Jone, who had children Charitie, baptized October 23, 1640, and Elizabeth, baptized August 19, 1643, in Newton Ferrers, Devon, England. William Pepperell, father of Sir William, lived in Yealmpton, Devon, England. Yealmpton Parish abuts Newton Ferrers.
Sir William left a legacy in his will to the poor of Revelstoke, and to his cousin, Dorothy Lapthorn. Since the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire says that Henry was Welsh and came over in the same ship with the first Pepperell.
A John Barter was was taxed in Portsmouth in 1672. A John Barter in poor house in Portsmouth between 1781 and 1785, age 79 (thus born about 1702).
Peter Barter, Margaret, likely his wife, recently from Plymouth, England. He was going to England in 1670.
A Henry Barter was baptized January 10, 1669, St. Sepulchre, London, England, son of John and Mary Barter. Perhaps the John in Portsmouth in 1672 was the father of Henry Barter, Sr. His will was dated October 19, 1746, and proved May 1747. It names all seven children and wife Jean (Maine Wills, P 543).
