  The Hall of Florida Fossils - Thomas Farm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Thomas Farm was first discovered in 1931 by Clarence Simpson, a staff member of the Florida Geological Survey (FGS), while he was investigating rumors that a Native American gravesite had been found among the sand hills of Gilchrist County in north central Florida.
Thomas Barbour, the Director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, examined some material stored in the FGS collections, and was so impressed with the potential of the site that in 1938 he purchased the surrounding 40-acre tract of land.
Thomas Farm reveals a fossil land vertebrate fauna virtually unparalleled in diversity for its age, replete with amphibians, reptiles, birds, small rodents, bats, rhinoceroses, three species of three-toed horses, several artiodactyls (including camels, peccary, deer-like species and other extinct forms), as well as dogs, bears, and bear-dogs.

 Barboursville Vineyards - The Estate
Thomas Jefferson's inspiration of grapegrowing in Virginia is as great as his love for the wines he imported from Europe.
As the Barbour family began to occupy their new residence in 1822, the Zonin family was just celebrating its first year in winemaking in the Veneto.
At his untimely death in 1842, Barbour bequeathed what was then the most highly assessed plantation home in the County to heirs who occupied it continuously until an accidental Christmas fire in 1884.

 Significant Scots - Thomas Rymer
To this day, the name of Thomas the Rhymer is popularly known in Scotland as a prophet; and it is only by a late discovery of the MS.
Barbour, Winton, Henry the Minstrel, and others, all refer to the prophetic character of Thomas.
But the celebrated editor very satisfactorily demonstrated, from the specific marks by which Robert de Brunne, a contemporary of Thomas, describes the work, that this must be the genuine Sir Tristrem, taken, probably, from the recitation of a minstrel who had heard and retained in his memory the words of Thomas.

 Harvard University's Caribbean Insects: About Us   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Barbour was often in the company of his friend, entomologist William Morton Wheeler, who described new ant species from many of the Caribbean islands.
Barbour later supported the expeditions of entomologist Dr. Philip J. Darlington to Cuba (1924, 1936), Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola (1938), expeditions that would result in the discovery of over 400 new insect species, including nearly 50 beetle species in the Carabidae, Darlington’s speciality.
Barbour’s own research on Ameiva lizard relationships in the Caribbean led to formulation of an early hypothesis of migration along former land bridges between the islands, while Darlington and ornithologist Dr. Ernst Mayr favored dispersal through other means.
