Thanks for your reply. Guess there isn't any match. Or at least not yet. My Barkers were in Mo on the 1870 census. After that can't find them. Still have some other states to check, some went to IL. Mine went to Ar, then Ok, Tx, then Ca. Trying to make a connect with my Joshua Barker to his father Elies(Elias) Barker. I found one, but can't make a connection for sure. Good luck in your search.
