I found this while going through the back issues of the journal for the Virginia Genealogical Society. This article on the genealogy of a certain James Barker seemed too detailed and full of possible help for other researchers, that I decided to post the whole thing. This is not part of my clan of Barkers, but may be of some use to others. The article is from a book originally, and reprinted in the journal. One line of text did not photocopy well, but I think for most purposes that will be an acceptable loss. If you find this helpful, you will want to track down the journal article and the book, History of Summers County, West Virginia. Happy hunting. GENEALOGY OF THE BARKER FAMILY IN WEST VIRGINIA (1) James Barker was born in 1726, and was an Englishman and captain of a British man-of-war. He married a Miss Smith, a distinguished lady of Portsmouth, England in the year 1751. From them sprung Jacob Barker, in 1761, a boatman on the James River, who married Susan Garner, of French descent, in 1786, and from them sprung William A. Barker, in 1796, who married Miss Sarah Hobbs, a woman of distinguished intellectuality, born in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1800, and married in 1817, and from this union sprung James B. Barker, in 1818; Mary V. Barker, in 1820; M. C. Barker, in 1821; Win. E. Barker, in 1824; A. L. Barker, in 1826; Thos. J. Barker, in 1828, and Francis S. Barker, in 1830. M. C. Barker, who settled finally on the Gatliff land, was born in 1821, and married Miss Julia A. Lilly, who was born in 1827, daughter of Robert C. Lilly, a prosperous planter and slave-owner, in 1842. The brothers of M. C. Barker settled in the West, Thos, J. Barker being a wealthy banker of Kansas City, Kansas. M. C. Barker was one of the sturdy and thrifty settlers of the county twenty odd years before the Civil War. He removed from Giles County in 1842, and married Miss Julia A. Lilly, one of the great family of that name, who settled the country west of New River. He first settled on Beech Run, but later purchased the old Gatliff bottom, formerly owned by Anderson Pack, the bottom being one of the Gatliff patents, and is one of the most fertile and productive tracts of land in the county. He was a man of fine business sense, and noted for his love of peace, being the mediator by which many neighborly disputes were amicably settled, and enemies made into friends by reason of his good services. He was a man of fine physique and judgment in business and other matters. He was justice of the peace at one time before the war, back in 1859, and was justice also during the war, and at the time he was taken prisoner, the Union soldiers carrying him to Beckley, before General Hayes, who discharged him after three months' imprisonment. By his last will his wife retained control of his fine home farm and other property, the same eventually reverting in fee to his son James and two daughters--Ollie, who married John Webb, and Frances, who married John Bradberry. He was, at the time of the change in the Constitutional Convention abolishing the county courts, president, elected for a full term. He was later an independent candidate for delegate to the Legislature, but was defeated by the regular Democratic candidate. His son, William A., died early in life, unmarried. His daughter, Mary E. married James Lilly, and resides now in Raleigh County. Robert J., who married Miss Malot, died in the Confederate Army during the War Between the States. The next son was John W., an enterprising and successful farmer, who resides on the old Clark plantation near the mouth of Bluestone, and is also a silversmith and a reliable surveyor. He married Miss Melissa M. Meador. Thos. Benton, the next son, resides on a farm in Jumping Branch District, and is a successful farmer. He married Miss Harriet Lilly. James L. married Miss Emma Jordan, a daughter of Hon. G. L. Jordan, and, after her death, Miss Alice Johnson. He died in 1888. Sarah M. married James H, Gore, and died in 1892. Julia A. married William Houchins, Jr., of Pipestem, a prominent farmer, teacher and merchant, Jonathan Lee Barker resides on the James Roles farm, at the mouth of Bluestone, a part of the old Anderson Pack lands. He is a successful farmer and surveyor, as well as one of the successful teachers of the county, and prominent in Republican politics. He was at one time the nominee of his party for member of the county court, but was defeated by reason of the party being in the minority. In 1904 he was appointed by Governor Dawson to reassess the real estate of the county at its true and actual value…(illegible)…generally satisfactory and but few complaints were heard, being much more satisfactory than in the adjoining counties. No appeals were taken from his judgment, and but few, if any, changes made, and only complaints where an error was made, which was promptly corrected. His work in this line should be very gratifying, as usually great dissatisfaction arises from work of this character. Mr. Barker was also a member of the Board of Examiners of the county for a term of four years, and has taught in the public schools for twenty-six years. He is also a notary public and a careful businessman. The first clock ever made in West Virginia was made by a cousin of M. C. Barker, John Barker, many years ago. The oldest son of J. L. Barker, Dr. ________Barker, graduated in medicine at the University of Louisville in 1906, and is now practicing his profession in the State of Kansas. He graduated at twenty-one years of age--as young as it is possible for any person to graduate in that profession. Dr. Joseph L. Barker, the youngest son of M. C. Barker, graduated from the University of Kansas, and has for the past several years practiced his profession in that State. He was one of the witnesses for the State in the celebrated trial of J. Speed Thompson, at Lewisburg, in 1886, for the killing of Elbert Fowler. M. D. Barker resides in Greenbrier County, having married Miss Elizabeth Johnston, of that county. R. E. Barker, a son of John W., also graduated in medicine from the University of Kansas, and is a practicing physician in Kansas at this time, at Kansas City. Ethan Barker, another son of John W., is in his third year in taking a medical course in the Medical College of Louisville. I am under obligations to Mr. Jonathan Lee Barker for many incidents of interest incorporated in this book, and for which he is entitled to credit, as he has taken much interest in procuring data for me. R. J. Barker, above mentioned son of M. C. Barker, is in Kansas City, Kansas, and was one of the engineers who surveyed out Oklahoma, and a member of the first Legislature of that Territory, and introduced the bill establishing the Agricultural Experimental College at Guthrie, Okla. and was made the first president of this college by appointment of President Harrison, at a salary of $2, 000 per year, and was postmaster at Crescent City for a dozen years. The following poem was written and set to music by Jonathan Lee Barker; All Hail to Summers! (Copyrighted.) Oh, Summers for me! yes, dear Summers for me! The land of the noble, the home of the free! Where peace and contentment throughout the good land Are showered on all by a generous hand. Chorus: Then hail to thee, Summers! yes, all hail to thee! Thy hills and thy rills are delightful to me; There's room in thy borders for all who may come, And a welcome for all who will make thee their home, - - Who will make thee their home. 1. History of Summers County, West Virginia, From the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, by J. H, Miller, 1908, p. 679-b82. Mike Barker Richmond, VA mbarker7@aol.com

Bob: Thanks for interesting info on your Henry Potts Barker. I wish I could say it was my missing Barker, but have no idea. Have no middle name. Dates could fit, but it means he would have had to leave California in 1880 and move to Springfield MO for my grandfather to have been born there in 81 or 82. Certainly possible. I have no handwriting or any other info to compare. Another party said to look in Civil War records. I have certainly done that, but there were many Henry Barker's that served on both sides but with no birth or death date have no way to identify if one is mine or not. Checked pension files for wife but none on Federal side and Conf side did not give them. An uncle told me years ago that he "was buried in a military cemetery". Again, tooo many to identify without a birth date. Even found a wonderful land grant in Springfield...again nothing to prove it is my Henry!! My only hope is someone looking for a Henry with wife Sarah (Patrick). I will probably find eventually that his name was Patrick Henry or John Henry or some such thing! Am resonably sure his name was truly Henry as first grandson was named Henry. Thanks again.

Hi Mike, how generous you are to share this list of Barkers. I'm going to get my notes out and hopefully find my lost Barkers. Thanks again for this great information. Peggy Barker Koster

In "The Magazine of American Geneaology, Number 19, Bare to Barl," there are several short mentions of Barkers in several eastern states. The footnote for those arriving in Virginia named the book below as a source for the citation. The book is long out of print, and seemed a possible help for other researchers. I am posting the list of Barkers from the total list of 25,000 names for our collective use. It appears below and will be on my Genealogy.com website in the next few days. In my own research, I have had to remind myself that there were indeed other immigrants to Virginia besides the John and William with whom we are most familar. This makes our work just that much more confusing. Here is a list of some of those other Barkers who surely continued or began families in the state after they arrived. I hope that listers will not find this information redundant, but indeed may find a little tidbit that assists in ongoing research. I have reproduced the entries just as they appear in the book. No other information is provided in any case. One will have to make use of county records stored in the Library of Virginia and other sites to get more information. However, feel free to contact me if you have questions. (I did not look at any other surnames.) Best wishes! Mike Barker Richmond, VA mbarker7@aol.com Early Virginia Immigrants 1623-1666 George Cabell Greer, Clerk, Virginia State Land Office Richmond, VA: W.C. Hill Publishing Company, 1912 Preface Since the publication of Hotten's Immigrants, no successful effort has been made to gather together, in one volume, a list of the thousands of persons who came into Virginia during the early period of her life. The records of the Land Office in Richmond remain the only source from which these names can now be obtained. As the records stand, it is simply impossible, without the most extensive and expensive research, to obtain names of persons who came to Virginia, unless they themselves were patentees of land; and the great majority of immigrants to the colony do not appears as patentees. A list of the immigrants to Virginia has always been a desideratum to the genealogist. To descendants of early Virginia immigrants this work will, in many cases, offer the only opportunity to trace their ancestry. If will often be the means of forming the "Missing Link," which is the genealogists' bane. Nearly twenty-five thousand names have been collected from the original records and arranged in alphabetical order. The search has been systematic and thorough, and every name from 1623 (when the records begin) down to 1666 has been noted, with date of appearance. It is believed that this work will be of interest to the general public and invaluable to the historian and antiquarian. Barker, Mary, 1650, by Hump. Lyster, --- Co. Barker, Tho., 1652, by Mr. Tho.

For Gary, I have an interesting story to tell you about your connection to Broomfield, Co. My Barker's, Charles William and Emma Staniforth Barker came from Sheffield England and settled in New York. I don't know much about the directions they took in America and it isn't terrible germain to the story. While trying to find someone who knows about them in Sheffield I asked a woman the other day for a look up on some cd's she has to see if she could give me any information of these two families. She wrote back that she found no information at all about these two people, but she did find 3 marriages between these two families in the 1700s, nearly 100 years or so prior. This fits into your statement in that my ggrandfather, Joseph William Staniforth was a quaker minister. It is his daughter who married Charles Barker. My aunt went to a wedding in New York and told me this very odd fact. My uncle, Joseph Staniforth, brother of Emma (wife of Charles Barker) was a quaker minister in Broomfield Colorado. I believe there is a plack in his honor at that church. Linda in California AlienWebResearch.com

I have a Henry Barker that is MIA in our family. Our Henry's full name was Henry Potts Barker, born February 10, 1843, in Kentucky (Perryville vicinity). He also served in the Civil War in the 5th Kentucky Infantry, Company C, as a private. Henry enlisted in the Union Army on July 23, 1861, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, for the "Louisville Legion". War records indicate he was on the army rolls through August, 1962; however in December, 1862, he deserted. Apparently, his desertion was prior to the battle at Perryville -- perhaps, due in part to his favorite brother (John Barker) fighting in the same battle for the Confederacy with Morgan's Men. Henry's whereabouts are unknown from 1862. He turns up briefly living in Yuba City, California on the 1880 census with the McCann family and working as a carpenter. He disappeared - again - and no further trace of him is found. If there was a family connection in later years, no one seems to know - it's like he disappeared off the face of the earth. We do know that he was a skilled carpenter -like his dad and other brothers. Also, I have a copy of a letter written while in the Union Army. If you would like to compare handwriting, let me know and I'll send you a copy. It took almost 20 years for him to get to California from Kentucky... but I have no idea where he might have been during that time. Something to think about. Bob

My information on the DNA comes from ancestry.com. There are actually three types of testing that can be done: Paternal Ancestry Signature (Males Only) This report presents your Paternal Ancestry Signature as revealed by analyzing 24 different locations on your Y-chromosome. The fascinating aspect of a Paternal Ancestry Signature is that it does not uniquely identify you as a single individual, but uniquely identifies your paternal line. Maternal Ancestry Signature The Maternal Ancestry test analyzes your DNA and returns your genetic identity that was inherited from your maternal ancestors. This test uses Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Sequencing to establish relationships. Native American Signature This test can determine if your maternal heritage is Native American. Your identity is shown by the values associated with your Mitochondrial DNA. Cost is based on which test you have done. I did the Paternal Ancestry Test (cost $196.95) as a last resort to "hurdling my brick wall". I would also like to participate in the LDS program; however, I was out of town when they were in my area several months ago. As many Barkers as there were.... I cannot figure out why some of us are not related! I am beginning to believe their motto was 'Secrecy, Secrecy, Secrecy!" Bob Barker
