To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Barley were among those contributors:
Barley Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Barley Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Barley Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Barley Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
