Francis Barber (c. 1742/3 – 13 January 1801), born Quashey, was the Jamaican manservant of Samuel Johnson in London from 1752 until Johnson's death in 1784. Johnson made him his residual heir, with £70 (equivalent to £9,000 in 2021) a year to be given him by Trustees, expressing the wish that he move from London to Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson's native city. After Johnson's death, Barber did this, opening a draper's shop and marrying a local woman. Barber was also bequeathed Johnson's books and papers, and a gold watch. In later years he had acted as Johnson's assistant in revising his famous Dictionary of the English Language and other works. Barber was also an important source for Boswell concerning Johnson's life in the years before Boswell himself knew Johnson.

  • Francis Barber, né vers 1735 en Jamaïque et mort en 1801 à Stafford, est le domestique jamaïcain de Samuel Johnson à Londres de 1752 jusqu'à la mort de son maître en 1784. Johnson lui légua 70 livres par an qui devaient lui être données par des personnes de confiance, en exprimant le désir qu'il quittât Londres pour Lichfield dans le Staffordshire, la ville natale de Johnson. C'est ce qu'il fit alors : il ouvrit un magasin de tissus et épousa une femme de l'endroit. Il reçut aussi les livres et les manuscrits de Johnson ainsi qu'une montre en or. Au cours des années précédentes, il avait aidé Johnson dans la révision de son fameux Dictionary of the English Language et dans d'autres travaux. (fr)
  • Francis Barber (1735 circa – 1801) è stato il domestico di Samuel Johnson a Londra dal 1752 fino alla morte dello scrittore nel 1784. Johnson lo nominò suo erede residuale, con un vitalizio di 70 sterline all'anno, e gli chiese di trasferirsi da Londra a Lichfield nello Staffordshire, città natale di Johnson. Barber esaudì il desiderio di Johnson, a Lichfield aprì un negozio di stoffe e mise su famiglia. A Barber furono lasciati anche i libri e le carte di Johnson ed in più un orologio d'oro. (it)
