Anna Maynard Barbour (died May 10, 1941) was an American author of best-selling fiction. A 1903 article in the The Atlantic Monthly stated that "A. Maynard Barbour has been generally hailed as the most successful of American writers of mystery." Anna Barbour was born in Mansfield, New York in the 19th century. Her parents died when she was young. During the late 19th century, she lived in Helena, Montana where she worked for the U. S. Government. She married an English gentleman in 1893, and her husband reportedly encouraged her writing career. In 1907 she became a Episcopal deaconess at the House of Mercy in Boston and subsequently worked in Boston and Tennessee.

The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford covers 137 towns and comprises 14,333 typed pages. This magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. In 2002, the Genealogical Publishing Company, under the General Editorship of Lorraine White, completed its transcription of the Barbour Collectionin 55 paperback volumes. As several of the volumes in the Barbour series are now out of stock, we have begun the process of reprinting those books so that the entire series can be available to our customers. Volume 7 is a transcription of the vital records of the towns of Colchester, Colebrook, Columbia, and Cornwall, and it contains the birth, marriage, and death records of about 40,000 individuals. Entries are in strict alphabetical order by town and give, routinely, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and items such as age, occupation, and residence.
