Revolutionary War: Served as Surgeon's Mate to Dr. Dinsmore, Col. Asa Whitcomb's Regiment; also on Sloop "Republic", commanded by Captain John F. Williams. Engaged Aug 20, 1776 and discharged Nov 18, 1776.

Soldiers and Sailors of Massachusetts:
Barnard, Moses, Lancaster. Surgeon's Mate to Dr. Dinsmore, Col. Asa Whitcomb's regt.; examined and approved by a committee July 7, 1775; also, pay roll for 2 mos. 14 days service from May 22, 1775; also, Capt. Fuller's co., Col. Whitcomb's (Worcester Co.) regt.; receipts for wages for Aug. and Sept., 1775, dated Prospect Hill; also, Surgeon, sloop "Republic", commanded by Capt. John F. Williams; engaged Aug. 20, 1776; discharged at Boston, Nov. 18, 1776; service, 2 mos. 28 days.

Moses Barnard received Bachelor of Arts from Harvard and was apprenticed to Dr. Dinsmore for medical training (Harvard College had no such curricula prior to the Revolutionary War.) Moses Barnard and Dr. Dinsmore most likely tended the wounded from the battles of Concord/Lexington and Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill).

After the War Moses rode a horse on his Home Call medical appointment circuit. This took him from Harvard to Lancaster and also included Bolton.

Moses Barnard went to Lancaster, South Carolina between 1800 and 1810, where he presumably died. The family apparently had no more contact with him. However, he does appear in the 1800 Lancaster, SC census, with an apparent family.
