My Barker family arose from the stone fields in Vermont late in 1700s. James Barker (census said he was born in VT) b. 1797ish. Sons: JamesJr. b. 1821, John 1824 William 1826 in Goshen Gore, Caledonia Co. Vt. and Rachael born 1838 in NY. They later show up in Iowa where James Jr. had been for several years. All of these were there in the 1860 census. After that I have no idea where the rest of the family went except for my gr grandfather James Barker who served in the Civil War and then settled in Omaha where he died in 1891. Coral Barker Allbee
