The one Barn told Elisabeth he was from when he first met her. They never scripted Barn to get specific about exactly who they were. What were his imaginary England-born parents' first names supposed to be, for instance. They carried this element for a long time, way after they stopped mentioning his sister, Sarah. Rev. ( Gregory) Trask was looking for the English branch of the Collins family in 1840 and could not find it. Where did he look!?!

In real life. Jonathan Frid came from English, Scots, and German ancestry. Some of his family lived in the Hamilton-Toronto region of Ontario in the 1850s. Joan Bennett came from a prestigious theatrical family. She came from New York City.
