My great-grandmother, Malissa Barker, who married William Horatio (Hiram)
Moss in Mercer County, about 1863, was the daughter of Margaret and
Ephraim Barker, of Ritchie County, Virginia (now West Virginia). Margaret
Barker, along with her five children, Arah, William, Malissa, Sarah and
Elizabeth, are shown on the County 1856 census for Davis County, Iowa, but
no record of them in 1860. Malissa, however, aged about 16, was listed on
the Harrison County (Cainsville) census for 1860, living with a doctor's
family as a servant.

I haven't had any luck in locating Malissa's mother and siblings. Margaret
might have still had the Barker name, or possibly, Ephraim presumably being
deceased, remarried. If anyone has any clue about this family, I'd be very
grateful.

Thank you.
