Barnard, NJ
Barnard is located in modern Hammonton at the northwest corner of Ninth Street and the railroad, but it is not certain whether it was an actual settlement, a lone house, or a "paper town." McMahon and Beck make no mention of it (except one possible reference by the latter), nor do either of Hammonton's two histories (Wilbur & Hand and McMahon) or Hall's history of Atlantic County. The Sanborn maps do not appear to cover that edge of Hammonton. Several of the old state quad maps make reference to a "Banard Station" having existed along the railroad there. The name of the site may derive from Andrew J. Barnard, who owned the land between 1865-1905. He in turn bought it from a man named Nutter Richards and his wife Margaret. The Richard's name is closely associated with Batsto and Atsion, so it seems natural to wonder if this man is of the same family
