A woman who double-checked the censuses says it reads "Barker," not "Borker," for Lydia Barker. I am also interested in knowing whether there might be any Illinois census listings for Abigail Olive (Reed) Hargis and Thomas Hargis, who are thought to be the parents of Eliza Hargis, born about 1828, somewhere in Illinois.
