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.
