The Davis County census of 1856 listed my gg-grandmother, Margaret A. BARKER, with her five children, Arah, William, Melissa, Elizabeth and Sarah. No father was listed, but I have found that his name was Ephraim BARKER. It is possible that Ephraim had died prior to the census, which left Margaret a widow with five children to raise. I would like to learn if she remarried in Davis County, and also any information about Ephraim if he died there. Margaret was born c 1821 in Ritchie County, Virginia and came to Davis County about two years prior to the 1856 census. Ephraim was born c 1816 in Ritchie County, Virginia. Many thanks to anyone who can give me any piece of information about these ancestors of mine, or suggestions on where to request data. Margaret Udell Concord CA udell@pacbell.net
