The Family of Phillippe Amoureux and Fran Barker. Phil is the last male Amoureux descendantin America. This line started when the son of a French Nobleman eloped with the slave of his neighbor. Count Marthurin Amoureux had been the agent for John Paul Jones in France but lost his fortune during the French Revolution when he escaped to America. Fran Barker's family has been more difficult to track. 3 grandparents were dead before I was born and I had limited contact with the only survivor.I am stillsearching for my Great Gteat Grandfather, Samuel Barker who I haven't been able to track before he arrived in Plainfield, Wisconsin. We would be very happy to converse with anyone else researching the same family lines.
