The unusual name Barzillai - appearing first in the Newbold family in the present member and used again twice in the Fifth Generation, twice in the Sixth, and twice in the Seventh (by descendants of Thomas: 141 as well as Barzillai - is Biblical in origin. He is twice mentioned in the Second book of Samuel as tc Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, a very aged man, even fourscore years old" (Samuel 2: 17:27-29and 2: 19: 31-39).

• Occupation. He was a blacksmith by trade, and held many public offices: collector, overseer of the poor, freeholder.

• Residence. Like his brothers Thomas and Michael, Barzillai built a substantial brick house, in 1740, still standing on the left side of the road from Columbus to Freehold, at the corner of the road to Georgetown and about one mile west of Thomas'; it is now known as the Bowne House.
