[Note: Our Family genealogy information is recorded in “Descendants of the three Farnsworth Sisters: Carrie, Harriet and Charlotte born 1854, 1864 and 1866” (c) 2001 by Carl Cyrus Clark (CC born April 23, 1924, deceased 8/24/2006); a copy is in the Library of Congress with the number LCCN:2007273641 and I have a copy that I’m using to update this information. (About 50 copies were made originally for members of the family according to one note I saw). By the way, Carl Clark was a scientist, most widely known for his work in creating air bags for automobiles. I have included updates here that I know about since 2001, based on first-hand knowledge or that supplied by members of my family.]

Note

Barbara’s father is William Edward Thornberry (not much information known – he was a merchant marines during WW II).
About my name: apparently, when I started school, my mother filled out all the records with my last name as Green since that was her last name, which she still uses. My birth certificate says “Barbara Joan Thornberry Fowle.” I used the last name of Green until I married and took the name Taylor, which I still use.
