Notes
Rev. Barnabas King, D.D. (June 2, 1780 – April 10, 1862) was a Presbyterian minister whose primary pastorate was in Rockaway, Morris County, New Jersey. Born in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, to Amos King and Lucy Perkins, he graduated from Williams College in 1804 and studied theology under Dr. Jacob Catlin. Licensed by the Berkshire Association in 1805, King began preaching at Rockaway and Sparta in 1806. He was ordained and installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Rockaway in December 1808, serving the congregation until his death over fifty years later. In his later years, he was assisted by his son-in-law and colleague, Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle. King married twice: first to Catherine Beach in 1809, and subsequently to Clarissa (Strong) Thompson.
