1.3 Barnard ARCHDALE (John1) born bef 1530, Stafford, Staffordshire, England; died about 1577, Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire; married bef 1572 (based on est. ages of their children), Ann FERNE, the sister of Mary FERNE, wife of Barnard's brother, Richard (their relationship documented by their children's references to each other as "cousins german;" i.e., first cousins, and daughter of (Ralph?) and Dorothy FERNE of Cuddesdon.

Bernard is documented as a son of John by the Harleian Visitations, London, 1633/4, Archedale Family, in which he is listed as "Barnard ARCHDALE of Oxford" and his wife as "da. of FERNE." Further documentation is provided by various family wills naming his widow and children (as noted below).

According to the Archdale Memoirs, Barnard became a non-conformist before his death. This source states that on 22 Apr 1569, he took the citizen's oath of Oxford University, again on 7 Apr 1570, 26 Oct 1570 and 7 Apr 1573, but that on 11 Dec 1576, he refused to take the oath, and was excommunicated by the Vice Chancellor. On 17 May 1577, he again refused the oath and on 19 Feb 1577/8, administration of his estate was granted to his widow (Archdale Memoirs) Barnard may have been a Catholic, as were some of his descendants, and the vast majority of nonconformists at that time (those who refused to take an oath declaring the Crown to have religious supremacy).

It is not known when or where Barnard's wife, Anne, died, but she was still living as late as 25 Dec 1597 when named in the St. Margaret Pattens, London will of her brother-in-law, Martin, who referred to her as "My sister Anna ARCHDALE of Oxford, widow" and also included a bequest to "The children of my cousin Katherine BROWNE, daughter of my said sister."
