Rosemarie: There does seem to be a conflict with the father of Barker Wells b: 10 Dec 1769 (also I have a date of 21 Dec 1776 which might be baptism). The Merge data has his father as Barker Wells (1740-a1780) who married Rebecca Clarke who's father is James Wells (1706-b1778) who married Mary Barker Can you tell me where you found the proof that Joshua is Barker's father? The data I have does not have any source.
