Hi Mary, I found George W Barkman on the 1870,1880, 1900,1910,1920,1930 census records and the 1890 Directory. Sarah(Sallie) was his second wife. His first wife was Alice, and they had three children that are on the 1880 census, John, George, and Ernest. In 1870, he and Alice have a four month old son, John. I have a possible George in 1860, his parents are Daniel and Elizabeth, and he has several siblings, living in Frederick County, Maryland. There is an obituary on January 6, 1942, for a John Barkman, who was married to Emma, and his brother was George W. Barkman, he was buried at Congressional Cemetery. Here is the 1890 directory for George: Washington, D.C. City Directory, 1890 Name: George W Barkman Location 1: 611 E Capitol Occupation: carpenter Year: 1891 City: District of Columbia State: DC Let me know if you need any of the images. Have a great Sunday. :) Kate --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
