Surnames: barker Widon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AgB.2ACE/312.2 Message Board Post: I am a descentant of Hendrake Barker thru James Harvey Barker, James Silas Barker and Ida Delitha Petty. Then Amanda Ellen Barker and William Thomas Grissom. Saw a Bible entry of the a Barker that listed Robert Barker and hendrake Barker. In Lexington Library I saw a family file that said Hendrake's wife was mary Widon. In WPA transcripts was listing for a court hearing that said these were his children. I figure Hendrake is really Hendrick. Most Barkers came from NC unless they were born in TN. They moved back and forth or the district changed between Carroll County and Henderson. Mary married A.N. Hodgin by the 1850 census. I believe they had one child. Hendrake and Mary had four sons. William Robert Barker B:1832 Refus Barker B:1834 Samuel Barker B:1836 James Harvey Barker B:1840
