Surnames: BARKER WRIGHT MALONEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yg.2ADE/947 Message Board Post: According to family information, our Barker line came from Yorkshire, England. Hannah had died prior to their arriving in Savanna, IL, in early 1845 or so and John BARKER remarried to a widow, Martha Smith MALONEY. They live in Savanna, Illinois, until 1859 or so when they traveled to Colorado for the Pike's Peak gold rush, and then went back to Red Oak, Iowa, where they lived until John's death in 1877. Can anyone help me?
