RCA seems to accept Moriarty's placement in the sketch of Musachiell
Bernard in the 1634 series, citing some statement from the 1650s about
"Mr. Barnard [in London], Mr. Williams' brother." But note that Mr.
Barnard's first name isn't given, and as you note the surname is
somewhat common.

One further addition ... the sketch of John Humphreys in the 1634
doesn't mention his "son" [i.e., son-in-law] Adam Otley, husband of
his daughter Elizabeth. See EQC 2:394-95 which mentions that "when ye
sd [John] Humfrey went for England [he] Left his son in Law otly Att
ye house."
