    1. BARKER
    2. Hi all. Seeking info on WILLIAM BARKER, who was a Black Hawk War Veteran. He was married to a woman named Katherine "Kitty". He appears on an 1850 Census livin in Rushville Township, 2N 1W. His age is listed as 48 and from VA. Kitty gives her age as 38 from KY. The following children are also listed on the census, all children born in Illinois, John age 22, Cyrus age 21, Sally age 19, james age 15, William age 12, Charles age 10, Charlotte age 8, Andrew age 5, Stephen age 1. There is also another daughter Elizabeth age 17 who married Samuel Peeler in March 1850 and is living 4 doors away from William & Katherine. I have not been able to find a death date for William Barker. Could someone check an 1860 and 1870 Rushville Scuyler Co Census and see if he is listed on it?? Kitty supposibly died August 26,1866 in Rushville, but I don't know where she was buried. Can anyone help me with this??? THANKS Carolyn
