      ==Biography==Sir '''William Barne''' (c1558-1619) was an English landowner and politician from Kent.
      He was the eldest son of [[Barnes-5717|Sir George III Barne]], of Woolwich, and his wife [[Gerrard-302|Anne Garrard]], daughter of Sir William Garrard. His father, a London merchant, had been Lord Mayor of London and an MP for the City of London. As his father's heir in 1592, he became a Kent landowner and was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the county from 1596. Before then, he was elected to the 1593 Parliament as MP for Great Grimsby. He was knighted in 1603.
      Apart from his one foray into national politics and some work for the government, he seems to have spent his life participating in county affairs and managing his lands in Woolwich, Plumstead and Bexley. One source lists him among the names of those who chartered the London Company of Virginia in 1606, 1609 and 1612 and were the stockholders for the Jamestown Colony. He also developed literary friendships, among his correspondents being the letter writer John Chamberlain, the diplomat [[Carleton-253|Sir Dudley Carleton]], and the Bible translator [[Savile-121|Sir Henry Savile]].
      In 1586 he married [[Sandys-108|Anne Sandys]], daughter of Edwin Sandys, the Archbishop of York, and his second wife Cecily Wilford, daughter of Sir Thomas Wilford and half-sister of Sir James Wilford. Their seven children included:*Sir William Barne, his heir, who married Dorothy Manwood, daughter of the MP Sir Peter Manwood.*[[Barne-45|Robert]], of Grimsby, who married Elizabeth Twysden, daughter of Thomas Twysden and niece of Sir William Twysden, 1st Baronet.*[[Barne-14|Miles Barne]], who became a parson in Kent and married Jane Travers, daughter of Henry Travers, a London lawyer.*[[Barne-2|Anne Barne]], who first married [[Lovelace-9|Sir William Lovelace]], becoming the mother of the poet Richard Lovelace and of Francis Lovelace, Governor of New York.
      After his death, his widow Anne married as his second wife Edward Pulter.
