1825 booklet of Catholic Worship and Piety explained in sundry letters by Daniel Barber not long since a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Claremont, NH. and Catholic Convert, Very Rare

Barber served two terms as a soldier in the Continental Army.

At thirty years old, he was ordained a minister of the Episcopal Church at Schenectady, New York.

He exercised the duties of the ministry at the Union Church for thirty years.

The reading of a Catholic book opened for him the issue of the validity of Anglican orders, by impugning Archbishop Parkers consecration.

He visited for a conference Bishop Cheverus, then a priest in Boston.

Cheverus answered his questions and gave him several books to read about the Catholic faith.

He converted.

After this he converted his whole family.

His children went on to become nuns and Jesuit leaders.

Two pamphlets, printed at Washington, Catholic Worships and Piety Explained and Recommended in Sundry Letters to a Very Dear Friend and Others, and History of My Own Times, give interesting details of his life and show him to have been honest in his convictions and earnestly desirous of knowing the truth and disposed to embrace it when found.
