History

The existence of the village of Barisey to the Lime pit is very old. There exists a letter, dated March 2nd 1398 of the Count de Vaudémont, Ferry of Lorraine, which states “that it retains for him and Antoine, his/her son, in his special guard, all the inhabitants of Barexey to the Lime pit, their bodies, their goods and cheptelz (fruits and raised heritage); he wants that the middle-class men of this place are like its own men and middle-class man of sound Comté of Vaudémont; he promises to keep them, help, consolidate and claim, as he would make or be supposed to do it for his own men and middle-class man of Vaudémont”.

The name of Barisey would come from the name of a man = Barius or Barisius. Various names of Barisey to the Lime pit with the court of the ages = Barexey-with-Lime pit in 1398; Barisey-the-full in 1582; Bariseium AD Planum in 1653.

In the same geographical sector, there exists second Barisey (with a few kilometers only), Barisey-the-Coast. Third Barisey (Barisey-the-Board), one has only little information, existed in the south of Barisey to the Lime pit (near the Roman Voie which goes from Langres to Trier). In this same sector (the old woman-pierrière, in the south-east of Barisey to the Lime pit), it was made some discoveries, namely some fragments of tiles like several burials. A rather precise study of these discoveries was made by Etienne Olry (teacher with Allain). This one made of it a description in the Newspaper of the Company of Archeology and the Committee of the Lorraine Museum in 1864. We can read there “that a workman carrier of the name of Marc Henry, seeking to extract from the stones to build, discovers the remains of an ancient stone fleshfly known as the Soap ones. This sarcophagus, at the time of its discovery per Marc Henry, was not in its normal state. It was already broken, which seems to show that it before discovered, and had already been restored partially in more reduced dimensions. Its length made only 1m 10, whereas it would have to make, according to a meticulous reconstitution of Etienne Olry , 1m 90. The sarcophagus contained the bones of two people. The lid of the sarcophagus, apparently from only one part, had disappeared. In the vicinity immediate of this tomb were found shards of a Roman pottery, gray dark with white spangles, and another red pottery, of the same origin, intact, of average way and the same form of the plates of Favières”.

Five or six years before, the same workman carrier had found another tomb (in the same sector) in which it discovers a skeleton protected by tiles punts. Curious detail: the skeleton had the connected hands. This workman also discovered some Roman currencies representatives amongst other things Néron, Agrippine and Antonin.

Another discovery was made a few years later during the construction of a bridge crossing Aroffe in the south of Barisey-with-Lime pit. One meters from depth approximately were discovered many bones, several horseshoes (seven or eight) and a lance. Irons present characteristics in their dimensions. They measure only 9 cm in width and in height what lets suppose that the horses which carried these irons were not larger than mules. Etienne Olry , which examined these discoveries, thinks that there is to be combat in this sector, the presence of the lance lets it think.

Barisey the Board seems to be destroyed, in 1634, by the Swedes when they went to the seat Mothe.
