5. ELIZA F.3 BARKER (ALLEN2, WILLIAM1) was born 1822 in Irisburg, Axton, VA, and died Abt. 1900 in Pulaski County, VA. She married PLEASANT NANCE November 15, 1836 in Irisburg, Henry County, VA.
Notes for PLEASANT NANCE:
1880 Census for Pulaski County shows a Joseph age 4 living with Pleasant and Eliza is this another son?

Pleasant was unable to read or write.

Not proven: Pleasants brother may have been Harden NANCE (q.v.) The two lived very close to each other and Pleasant has a son named Harden.

His father may have been John, as he had a son named John Allen NANCE, the John for his father and Allen for his wife's father, Allen BARKER. Then Pleasant's sone Elkanah named a child John Pleasant, which could be for his grandfather and father.

He was a farmer all his life, and owned land on Home (Holms) Creek, near Axton, at Boxwood, VA, which is near the Henry-Pittsylvania-Rockingham NC line. After the Civil War he moved to Montgomery County, then across the New River into Pulaski County, VA. Most of his children followed him. He purchased land on the New River, several miles from Radford. Most of it is now covered by the waters of Claytor Lake. After his death his wife lived on alone at the farm. She died a few years later. Both were buried on the farm.
