Samuel Barber (minister)
Samuel Barber (1738?–1811), was an Irish Presbyterian minister.
Barber was a native of Co. Antrim. He was the younger son of John Barber, a farmer near Killead. He entered Glasgow College in 1757, was licensed 1761 (on second trials 28 August at Larne) by Templepatrick presbytery, and ordained by Dromore presbytery, 3 May 1763, at Rathfriland, Co. Down, where he ministered till his death. He was a good Latinist, Tacitus being his favourite author; his Greek was thin; he was somewhat given to rabbinical studies, having collected a small store of learned books on this subject. He is best known for the public spirit with which he threw himself into the political and ecclesiastical struggles of his time. Teeling considers him "one of the first and boldest advocates of the emancipation of his country and the union of all her sons."
==Minister and colonel==
When Lord Glerawley disarmed the Rathfriland regiment of volunteers in 1782, the officers and men chose Barber as their colonel in his stead. In this double capacity he preached (in regimentals) a sermon to the volunteers, in the Third Presbyterian Congregation, Belfast. He sat in the three volunteer conventions of 1782, 1783, and 1793, as a strong advocate of parliamentary reform, catholic emancipation, and a revision of the tithe system, the revenue laws, and the Irish pension list. Lord Kilwarlin, being asked to contribute to the rebuilding of his meeting-house, said he would rather pay to pull it down (broadsheet of August 1783). In 1786 Richard Woodward, Bishop of Cloyne, published his ''Present State of the Church of Ireland'', to prove that none but Episcopalians could be loyal to the constitution. Barber's ''Remarks'' in reply showed him a master of satire, and embodied the most trenchant pleas for disestablishment that any dissenter had yet put forth ("Must seven-eighths of the nation for ever crouch to the eighth?"). Woodward made no response.
