We know very little about them and looking for more information. From what I know from my mother-in-law, I was able to find them on the 1900 through 1930 census records. She told me of the 3 children in John & Ida's family that included her mom but in 1910 & 1920 I did find another brother in the family she has never heard of. The 3 children she knew of are Clarence, Irene and Annabelle, the other brother is Evan. I only saw Evan those two times. I'm thinking Evan died young is why my M-I-L never heard of him. I just recently recieved from the Jonesboro Public Library, Ida's obituary (they have an index of newspaper obits.), it didn't mention son Evan either. I'm waiting on John's obituary now. Anna B., (Annabelle) was married at least 3 or 4 times. When my M-I-L, Betty was born in 1927 Annabelle was married to Linville 'Bud' Allen. In 1933 when Ida died Annabelle was married to Leland Ferguson. My m-i-l doesn't talk about past but once, the other two husbands of her mom were Culver Vanderhoff and Clyde Walker. Betty was an only child. Is anything here familiar to anyone? Thanks.

There is another link listed http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext05/8pris10.txt giving details of the ordeal these men went through. My interest is in Stephen Dunwell who's daughter married a John Barker - we have no leads on this at this point. Stephen was only a teenager at the time of his arrest and imprisonment on the same ship. We are hoping that someone knows these Barkers and which of these men had a son who married a Dunwell.

William Nicholas Barker is my husband's ggggrandfather and I recently gathered information on proof of descent so I feel sure I have some that will be of interest to you as well. I will be delighted to share if you will get in touch with me.

James & Willie were my great-grandparents. I cannot seem to get past William Barker, father of Britton Barker. Maybe William's wife was a Britton? Seems an unusual name for a son, so maybe he was named after his mother? Maybe William's father was also Britton Barker? Do these names ring a bell for anyone?
