Notes for WILLIAM DE CALVERHALL LE BARKER:

William fled to Warfield following the attainder (dishonor and sentencing of death) and execution of his over-lord Bartholomew de Badlesmere. William then assumed the name: le Barker.

Weis' "Ancestral Roots" (54:33), (65:33), (65A:33), calls Bartholomew de Badlesmere

 the 1st Lord Badlesmere. States he was hanged at Cantrbury 14 Apr 1322. Was Lord

of Badlesmere and Chilham Castle in Kent. Was Steward of the King's

household, ambassador to France, Savoy, and the Pope. Also mentioned

(79:31).

Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" , (Badlesmere, pp. 371-372).

From a posting to the soc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup on Internet by

Homer B James on 22 Dec 1995:

Bartholomew de Badlesmere in the life time of his father received

command to attend the king at Portsmouth, upon the 1st day of

September, with horse and arms to embark with him for Gascony, and in

the year that he succeeded to his paternal property. He was in the wars

of Scotland. He was afterwards in the retinue of Robert de Clifford (RIN

4304*) in the Welsh wars, and in the first year of KING EDWARD I was

appointed the Governor of the castle of Bristol. In two years afterwards

he was summoned to parliament as Badlesmere, and had a grant from the

king, through the special influence of GILBERT DE CLARE, EARL OF

GLOUCESTER AND HEREFORD (RIN 726) , and Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln

(RIN 2856*), of the castle and manor of Chelham, in Kent, for his own

and his wife's life, which castle had been possessed by Alexander de

Baliol in the right of his wife Isabel, and ought to have been escheated to

the crown on the decease of the said Alexander, by reason of the felony

of John de Straboli, Earl of Athol (Isabel's son and heir), who was hanged.

In the 5th year of King Edward II, Lord Badlesmere was constituted

Governor of the castle of Ledes, and obtained at the same time grants of

divers extensive manors. In the next year but one, he was deputed , with

Otto de Grandison and others, ambassador to the court of Rome, and the

next year, upon the death of Robert de Clifford, he obtained a grant of the

custody of the castle of Skyton in Yorkshire, as of all other castles in

that county and Westmoreland, whereof the said Robert died possessed,

to hold during the minority of Roger de Clifford, his son and heir. He was

further indebted to the crown for numerous charters for fairs throughout

his extensive manors; and he held the high office of steward of the

household for a great number of years; but notwithstanding his thus

basking in the sunshine of royal favor, his allegiance was not

trustworthy, for joining the banner of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (RIN

2859*), and other discontented nobles of that period, he went into Kent

without the king's permission; where, being well received, he put

himself at the head of some soldiers from his castle at Ledes, and

thence proceeded to Canterbury, with 19 knights, having linen jackets

under their surcoats, all his esquires being in plate armor, and thus

repaired to the shrine of St. Thomas, to the amazement of the good

citizens. While Lord Badlesmere remained at Canterbury, John de

Crumwell and his wife sought his lordship's aid, and , pledging himself

to afford it, he hastened to Oxford, where the barons of his party had

been then assembled. In the meantime the King being apprised of the

baron's proceedings, dispatched the Queen to Ledes, and upon admission

being denied her, the castle was regularly invested by Adomere de

Valence, Earl of Pembroke, and John de Britannia, Earl of Richmond, to

whom it eventually surrendered, when Lord Badlesmere's wife, young

son, and daughters, all falling into the hands of the besiegers, were sent

prisoners to the Tower of London. The baron and his accomplices

afterwards were pursued by Edmund, Earl of Kent (RIN 4229*) , and John

de Warren, Earl of Surrey, and being defeated and taken prisoners at the

battle of Boroughbridge, his lordship was hanged, drawn, and quartered

at Canterbury, and his head set upon a pole at Burgate. At the time of

the baron's execution upwards of ninety lords, knights, and others

concerned in the same insurrection, suffered a similar fate in various

parts of the kingdom.

History of the lands acquired by William BARKER and his associates.

They are located contiguously on the south side of the James River and north of the Blackwater. (pp 146-149) 4

FLOWERDIEU HUNDRED (Flowerdew Hundred & Flower de Hundred)

Sir George Yeardley, Governor of Virginia, was given a tract of land by the king of the Weyanoke Indians in 1617. Their chief town was at the head of the creek later known as Powell's Creek. In 1618 Yeardley patented 1000 acres on the west side of a creek, which he named Flowerdieu, which was his wife's maiden name.

On 5 Oct 1624 Yeardley sold Flowerdiew to Capt. Abraham Piersey, a leading merchant of virginia and a member of the Council. Piersey died in 1627, leaving two daughters: Elizabeth, who married Capt. Richard STEPHENS and Sir John HARVEY; Mary, who married Capt. Thomas HILL and Thomas BUSHROD.

On 15 Oct 1636 Elizabeth STEPHENS re-patented 1000 acres in Charles City County, called by the name of Flowerdiew Hundred. Soon afterward Elizabeth STEPHENS sold part of this grant to William BARKER.

On 11 May 1639 BARKER acquired 1300 adjacent acres. This became the home of William BARKER and his family.

MARTIN'S BRANDON, POWELBROOKE & MERCHANTS HOPEIn 1617 Capt. John Martin settled on the tract called Martin's Brandon. His grandson, Capt. BARGRAVE, sold it to SADLER, QUINEY, and STURGES in 1634-36.

William BARKER appears to be a part of the acquisition transactions; but I don't know if he owned any of Martin's Brandon. Several thousand acres were added. In 1656 & 1658 SADLER & QUINEY died and left both Martin's Brandon and Merchants Hope to their heirs, who sold the property to Nathaniel HARRISON in 1720.

POWELBROOKE was the land of Capt Nathaniel POWELL, who was killed (along with his wife Joyce, daughter of William TRACY) in the 1622 Indian massacre. When William BARKER and his associates acquired the property, they changed the name to Merchants Hope for Barker's ship.

He married GRACE BUSBY, daughter of THOMAS BUSBY and SUSANNAH GRAY.

Notes for JOHN BARKER:

It appears that John Barker and Thomas Busby were among the rebels who took possession of Bacon Castle (Arthur Allen home) during the Bacon Rebellion. John Barker was ordered to pay Arthur Allen damages in connection with the destruction done to Arthur Allen's brick house during the rebellion. Ben Harrison was the arbitrator in the settlement and his decision perhaps resulted in the foreclosure of Martin Brandon plantation owned by John Barker (senior).

Bacon Castle derives its name from Nathaniel Bacon, who was in 1676 led a rebellion agains the rule of Col. Governor William Berkley. Bacon's forces burned Jamestown in Sept. 1676 and set up a strong hold in Surry County. They took over Arthur Allen's house and occupied it for four months. Allen, a supporter, of the colonial governor, later sued the men who had occupied the house for the damages incurred.

(Surry p. 83, bk 2, by Boddie): Barker and Busby were fined along with 27 others for not attending church services of the established Church of England.

30. SHADRACK¹⁸ BARKER (WILLIAM¹⁷, JOEL¹⁶, JOHN¹⁵, ROBERT¹⁴, RICHARD¹³, WILLIAM¹², HUMPHREY¹¹, JOHN¹⁰, JOHN⁹, HENRY⁸, ROGER⁷ LE BARKER, WILLIAM DE CALVERHALL⁶, RANDULPH⁵ DE CALVERHALL, WILLIAM⁴, WILLIAM³, WILLIAM FITZRALPH², RANDULPH DE CALVERHALL¹ (BARKER)) was born Abt. 1718 in Buckhorn Creek, Wake Co., NC, and died 1798 in Wake Co., NC (Roy Barker has death date as 1798). He married NAOMI UNKNOWN.

Notes for SHADRACK BARKER:

Wake Co. was formed in 1771 from Orange, Cumberland and Johnston Counties, NC. From land deeds and court records, Dianne Spitzer, determined that Shadrack's land was mostly on the White Oak Creek that is near the southwest border of Wake Co., and was located in Orange Co., NC, in 1770. She found a few Orange Co. records at the library there and was able to determine that our Barker family was indeed there.

Jack Cole's guess is that Shadrack's father was William, who had the joining land. Brian has said his research shows that William was the father of Shadrack.

Shadrick Barker was in Rowan Co., NC, in 1768.

Court file papers show that Shadrack was a property owner Oct. 21, 1778. This would indicate he was at least 21 years of age by that date.

Wake Co. Minute Book for the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (WCMB), 539-372, June-Sept. 1798, lists Shadrack Barker for road world. The WCMB for Aug. 1802, 226-212 estate papers returned to court. Conclusion, he died around 1798. His estate was not settled until 1826 because minor children had to mature, and then there was a delay by his widow, Naomi, and the administrator Andrew Peddy.

Brian Aldridge had his death date as 1792. Shadrack's estate records, per Dianne Spitzer, began on April 13,1799, Shadrack's estate was published. His children were listed as Edmund, Rebecca, Thomas, Edith, Sally, Polly, Milly and Warren. Neomi (Naomi) is sometimes called Omy and Omie. On 5/6/1800, there was an estate sale. In Aug. 1803, there was an estate accounting. In 1805, there was a division of land. There were 824 acres divided among: Thomas Barker, Solomon Segraves in right of his wife Sally; Edmund Barker, Warner (Warren) Barker; Polly Barker; Mylah Barker; Edith Barker; and Anthony Pilkington in right of his wife Rebecca. On Aug. 1806, there was an audit. Anthony Pilkington, dec'd (deceased) received an advancement from the estate. Neomi as administrator paid for schooling and subsistence for Sally, Polly, Milly and Warren. These records don't show an Elizabeth (who married William Crye) and listed her father as Shadrack Barker at the time of her marriage.

Someone placed a file with LDS Library that there was a Shadrack Barker born in 1766 in Wake Co., NC had a daughter Edith Barker who was born in 1792 in Wake Co., NC. This Edith died 2/20/1860. She married Augustine Jones b. 2/1/1781 in Wake Co., NC and died 3/20/1861. Their children were Alvin Jones, Elizabeth Ann Jones, Ethel Mildred Benton Jones, Jefferson John Quincy Jones, and Rebecca Jones. If this Edith is the daughter of Shadrack, she had to have had two marriages: 1) Jones and then to 2) Ezkiel Greenberry Herren. Note that when Shadrack's land was divided among his heirs on Sept. 25, 1805, Edith was listed as Edith Barker and was obviously a single woman. When the estate was fully settled in 1825, Edith was married to Berry Herrin. There is no mention of Jones in any of the settlement papers.

Maxine Kuhn interprets the following document to be one where some of minor children had matured, married and moved to a distant location and were anxious for the estate to be settled and receive their shares. It is not a settlement among heirs, nor does it list the complete line of heirs as some have claimed. "To the Worshipful Court of Wake. The petition of Solomon Segraves and Sally his wife. Anthony Pilkinton and Rebeckah his wife, Thomas Barker, Polly Barker and behalf by her nxt friend Solomon Segraves, and Miley Barker an behalf by her next friend Anthony Pilkinton, humbly herewith that Shadrack died intestate about the year 1798 leaving petitioners Sally, Rebeckah, Thomas, Polly, Miley and Edith (whom your petitions are informed, has removed to a distant and there married) his only children leaving at the same time a widow Neomi who is still alive and with Andrew Peddy hath obtained administration upon the estate of intestate more than two years ago, that the personal estate sold by the admins. and the proceeds now ready to be delivered over to those entitled, that your petitioner Anthony and wife have received an advancement whereby they were willing to account for. Your petitioners pray that the same may be divided amongst the said representatives and that your worships will grant a fit remedy for that purpose. S. S. Segraves (no date) (continued to next paragraph)

On December Five 1806, this distribution of property as was recorded in Book II (note the document has II II with lines through each set of II) and page 107 on the 8th of April AD 1806 gave a widow dower of 400 acres. (end)

On September 25, 1805 this document was submitted: The platt doth represent the land of Shadrack Barker dec'd out of which we in obedience to an order of the court of Wake August session after being duly qualified have proceed to take the widow's dower, to wit, the division where the letter A stands. Beginning at a sweet gum on White Oak Creek Mark Barker's corner thence south 238 pole to a pine thence east 213 pole to a hickory, then north 42 pole to a post. Oak ? east 76 pole to a pine then north 194 pole to a pine then to the beginning containing 400 acres all which with the buildings and improvements thereon we do apportion and lay off to Omy (Naomi) Barker widow and Relect of Shadrach Barker dec'd as her thirds in real estatate of her dec'd husband."

Based on the widow's dower (400 acres) being 1/3 of the estate, Shadrack owned 1200 acres that was divided among his children or sold.

On September 25, 1805, these children of Shadrack: Warren Barker (100 acres), Polly Barker (131 acres), Mylah Barker ($36), Edith Barker ($17.50), Anthony Pilkinton in right of his wife Rebeckah (125 acres and $7.75), Thomas Barker (75 acres and $7.75), Solomon Segraves in right of his wife Salley (50 acres and $23.50) and to Edmund Barker (75 acres and $48). Therefore, the heirs are: Warren, Polly, Mylah (Milly), Edith, Rebecca, Thomas, Sally and Edmund. Note that no heir by the name of Elizabeth is mentioned!

Another document dated for the quarter of September-November in 1825 in the State of North Caroline and Wake Co. read: "The the worshipful, the petitoners of the said Court. The petition of Warren Barker, William Crisp (looks like Crop), and Milly his wife, and Anthony Pilkington, Rebeckah his wife. (continued next pargraph)

Respectfully showeth that Shadrack Barker late of Wake County died some time in the year ____ (not given - space left for year) intestate without will having Naomi Barker his widow the following children: Edmund Barker, Rebeckah married to said Anthony Pilkington, Thomas Barker, Edy married to Berry Herring, Sally married to Solomon Segraves, Polly married to John Segraves, Milly married to petitioner William Crisp (Crop), Warren Barker, your petition, that at the session in the year ___ (again left blank with a space for the year) of this worshipful court administration of the estate of said intestate may granted to Andrew Peddy and said Naomi the widow who hereby undertook the management of said estate.

Notes for EDMUND BARKER:

Date and wife info from Diane Spitzer.

There was another Edmund Barker was still living in Wake Co. with his wife Obedience (Bidy) and family in the 1850 census. This is not the same Edmund Barker.

Check birth date of 1787 vs. 1770.

Edmund appears in the 1820 Haywood Co., NC, federal census with these entries for household #214: 3/1/0/0/1/0 for males; 1/2/1/1/0/ for females. The head of the household was engaged in agriculture (a farmer). Edmund was 80 years old and living with Brantley Barker and family in 1850 in Macon Co., NC, federal census. Brantley's birthplace was Wake Co., his death is listed in mortality schedule for Macon Co., 1850.

Edman (Edmund) Barker occupied Section 22, District 1, of the Cherokee Survey Books in 1820. He claimed land where the Cherokee Indians had been forced to leave and give up. The following is from the web site http://www.teresita.com/lovebg.htlm. "On 2/27/1819, chiefs of the Cherokee Nation signed a treaty ceding a portion of their remaining eastern lands. The new North Carolina territory stretched from the former treaty line (the old Meigs-Freeman line) the the ridge of the Nantahala Mountains, and from the Georgia and South Carolina borders on the south to the Tennessee line on the north. The State of NC appointed James Meabin and Jesse Franklin as Commissioners in charge of organizing the large territory. Commissioners Creek in southern Macon county was named for them. They hired Captain Robert Love of Waynesville to head the survey party. The work began with the division of the huge area into 18 districts. Each was assigned to one of five or six survey crews for mapping. The districts were further divided into tracts or sections, which were offered to the public through land grants. Each section offered for sale contained 50 to 300 acres. Each included some good farm land and timber land. The survey party produced a huge map, one copy of which was posted in the Haywood County courthouse prior to the first land sale. The sale began on September 20, 1820 and continued for several weeks. Other sales were held in Franklin in 1822 and 1823. The survey party chose the site of Franklin, which was destined to become a county seat. The town site occupied 400 acres in sections 24 and 32 of district 16. It was named for Commission Jesse Franklin, a prominent statesman who became governor of NC in 1820. Because demand was high, prices were set to bring in a good profit. No land could be sold for less than 50 cents per acre. Grade 1 land, the best, sold for $4 per acre; grade 2 for $2, and grade 3 for $1. Buyers could pay 1/8 down and the rest in four annual payments, with a discount offered for early payment. Grants were to be issued after the state received the full purchase price. When the surveyors conducted their field work in May and June of 1820, they found some settlers already in residence and some Cherokee Indians still living on the land. The 1817/1819 treaty allowed Cherokees who wished to remain in the territory to become citizens of NC and claim 640-acre reservation around their home sites. However, the survey party ignored the reservations and divided them into tracts for sale as land grants!!!! The Citizen Cherokees were effectively dispossessed. They eventually won compensation for their losses from the State of NC. One of them who fought vigorously for their claims was Gideon Morris, who appears on the survey as resident of Section 32, District 11, "on the Nucasser Plains." This tract was part of the reservations to which Morris was entitled in right of his wife Naka or Rebecca, the daughter of Yonaguska. The Morrises lost their reservation to Gen. Thomas Love, father of Capt. Robert Love. According to a later account by Thomas Siler (son of pioneer Jacob Siler), the early settlers had an agreement not to bid against each other in the land sale. Owning an improvement entitled the purchaser to an option on the place at 25 cents per acre, which gave an incentive to these early settlers. some bought existing improvements from the resident Cherokees, others cleared a field or erected a building on their claim. The Survey notes hold clues to the early settlers of old Macon Co. Some were white men who had married Cherokee women and lived in the territory for an unknown period. A few white families may also have lived in the Cherokee Nation long before the cession. Others, like William Brittain and Jacob Siler, came in 1817, under the impression that the treaty was already settled. Though some Macon Co. pioneers moved on to new lands opening in the west, others put down deep roots here. Their descendants played important roles in the development of the region."

An Edmund Barker was listed as being in the Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery in 1838; Fifth District, Third Section, Cherokee, Residence 656th, Troup County. The land was granted previous to the first day of January, 1838 as number 205.

According to Superior Court of Law, October Term, AD 1832, "The jurors for the State upon their oaths present that Edmund Barker, Calvin Barker, and Warren Barker, all late of said County, on the 8th day of October 1832 with force and arms in the County aforesaid an assault did make upon the body of Solomon Millsaps, did make an assault, and him the said Solomon Millsaps did then and there would, beat and ill treat against the Peace and Dignity of the State. /s/ J. Roberts, So. pro tem (likely Solicitor pro tem). There were some additional papers and all referred to Edmund, Calvin and Warren as "planter," which indicted they owned land. In Millsaps statement posting money for his appearance read, "The condition of the above is such that if Millsaps does appear then and there to give evidence in behalf of the state against Edmon Barker and sons and not depart...." This proves that Edmund Barker was the father of Warren and Calvin.

Edmond transferred 990 acres of land on the waters of Great White Oak Creek in Wake Co., NC, on 3/10/1806 in Wake Co., NC to Lewis Barker. The land that Edmond transferred was the former property of Shadrick Barker, deceased, who was the father of Edmond. Edmond again transferred land in the Nov. Term, 1819 (1/11/1820) to Freeman Broadwell in Wake Co., NC. This may be when he moved to Haywood Co., NC. He is listed in the Haywood census in the next census of 1830 and in Macon County census in 1840. The 1850 census has his children being born in Haywood.

Polly Jones married our Edmond Barker. There was a Solomon Jones who witnessed the will of the other Edmund Barker on 2/2/1815. That Edmund could not sign his name. Our Edmund signed his name on previous land deeds. Solomon Jones likely was related to our Polly. In that will of the other Edmund had these children: Laban Barker, Hosea Barker, Lydia Barker Shaw, Priscilla and her children Briggs, Sterling and Hosea; Edmunds Barker (got 200 acres), Asa Barker, Prenissee Barker, and son Abner Barker (deceased) children: John, Willis, Salley, Allen and Polley. It is obvious that all of the Barkers in Wake County were related but how, we are unsure.

Barkers have long been noted for being constables. Edmund signed the bond in Wake Co., NC, Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions for Labourn Barker to be appointed constable.

Children of EDMUND BARKER and POLLY JONES are:

37.        i.   BRANTLEY²⁰ BARKER, b. Abt. 1803, Wake Co., NC.

            ii.   CALVIN BARKER, b. Abt. 1806, NC; m. LIDIA PERRY, 1835, Haywood Co., NC.

Notes for CALVIN BARKER:

Calvin was listed in the Cherokee census in 1820. Calvin was a bondsman in a marriage license in 1850 in Macon Co., NC.

38. iii. WARREN BARKER, b. Abt. 1810; d. Dec 10, 1895, Jackson Co., NC.

(Waynesville, NC) Linda had 10/5/1855. She married EZEKIEL GREENBERRY HERREN Abt. 1806. He was born Dec 25, 1775 in Mecklenburg Co., NC (probably) Linda had year as 1774., and died Nov 27, 1869.

Notes for EDITH (EADIE) BARKER:

Diane Jenkins Spitzer found a reference in the Heritage Book (Swain or Macon) that Eli Barker of Barker's Creek was her father. She was mentioned in Warren Shadrack's will as his daughter.

Someone posted with the LDS Library that Edith Barker daughter of Shadrack married Augustine Jones in 1813, and he was b. 2/1/17861 in Wake Co., NC, and died 3/20/1861, buried in Middle Creek Township in Wake Co., NC. They listed this Edith as being born in 1792 in Wake Co., died 2/20/1860. They had these children Alvin b. 4/14/1814 d. 8/29/1860; Elizabeth Ann b. 5/23/1815, d. 4/9/1906; Etheldred Benton Jones b. Abt. 1818; Jefferson John Quincy Jones b. Abt. 1820, Rebecca b. 3/18/1822 and died 8/6/1890. Alvin was buried in the Family Cemetery in Wake Co. All were born in Wake Co., NC.

Shadrach's will states she was his daughter and married to Berry Herren. "The Old Buncombe County Heritage Books" and other references state that Eli Barker of Barker's Creek was the father of Edith (Edy, Edie) Barker Herren, wife of Berry Herren. Maxine Barker Kuhn is more inclined to believe the estate records of Shadrach stating Edith was his daughter and married to Berry Herren.

Notes for EZEKIEL GREENBERRY HERREN:

Children of EDITH BARKER and EZEKIEL HERREN are:

He married (1) MARGARET UNKNOWN. She was born 1798 in NC (Date from Joan Cernosek). He married (2) MARGARET UNKNOWN. She was born 1795 in North Carolina.

Notes for WARREN BARKER:

Check out a Shaderick Barker in Hillsborough district of Wake Co., NC, in NC Fed. Census. In the household was 1 male 16 yrs+, 2 males under 16, and 5 females. Edmond was in the same census as 2/3/4/0/6.

Bryan Aldridge (baldri3728@aol.com) said Shadrack died in Wake Co. in the 1790s - could that Shadrack be the father of Shadrack? Got to check to be sure our Shadrack was Warren Shadrack. Henry, Jr. thinks his name was Warren Shadrack and he went by Shadrack and his son by Warren.

Maxine Barker Kuhn is unsure if this is where our Warren fits into the tree. It may be that Edmond (Edmond), or Thomas could be our ancestor instead. It is known that Warren and Jason were brothers.

There was a Warren Barker in the census records in 1830 in Burke Co., NC. This could be the son of Shadrack, or some relation.

Information on dates for this Warren Barker came from Roy Barker. Sarah Gunter had this Warren dying at the age of 102. Roy's information is likely correct and explains our Barkers being in Texas.

Warren of Buncombe Co., NC, sold land which was his part of the dower of the widow Shadrack Barker, to Alsey Hunter of Wake Co. Warren Barker signed the deed 1/20/1819. The deed was recorded 4/12/1820. Wake Co. Deed Book 3, page 338. Warren also sold land to Alsey Hunter of Wake Co., signed deed 1/20/1819. Deed was recorded 4/27/1827. Wake Co. Deed Book 7, page 413.

Warren sold land to Berry Herrin, both of Buncombe Co., NC. "This indenture made and concluded this first of Sept. of the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty (1820). It was registered 4/30/1840, Buncombe Co. Deed Book 22, page 89.

Note the compiler has photocopies of these deeds. If the registration of this last deed had not been delayed, it too would have been burned in the courthouse fire. We are fortunate. Berry Herrin was the husband of Edith Barker, who was the sister of Warren.

The 1830 US Census for Burke Co., NC, listed Warren Barker's family as 1 male 30-40, 1 female 30-40, 3 females under 5, 1 female 5-10.

Warren and Margaret Barker wrote a letter 9/7/1837 in Kentucky. He states they left North Carolina October 5, 1830.

In the 1860 US Census, Yell Co., ARK, Reel 1263, Pt. 7 reads: Barker, Warren husband 52, Margaret Wife 55, William Henderson Son 17.

Information contributed by Roy Barker, 11/1999, and Joan Robison Sullivan Cernosek, 6030 Cherryhill, Houston, TX 77087 via Family Research, LDS Library.

Names of children: Mary Ann, Phebe and Joseph came from Ancestry.com.

Note: If Warren were born in 1798 - the year his dad died - he would have been a father at age of 16 if Warren Barker, his son, was born abt. 1814. This leads many of us to believe Warren b. 1814 may be the son of Edmond. If that is the case, William H., Mary Ann, Phebe and Joseph would be Warren b. in 1798's children and the other children listed under Warren b. 1798 would be Edmond's children.

Notes for MARGARET UNKNOWN:

Could his wife's name have been Henderson since the middle name of the son is Henderson and was a very unusual middle name for that era.

Children of WARREN BARKER and MARGARET UNKNOWN are:

             i.   ELIZA JANE²⁰ BARKER, b. Abt. 1830; m. HENRY H. HOWELL, Nov 20, 1852, Wake County, NC.

Notes for WARREN BARKER:

9/26/1999. Tim Barker wrote "Here is a little history on Warren as far as I know. He obtained many land grants from the State of NC and did quite a lot of work on the Webster Courthouse. He was a rock mason and a carpenter.

Marriage records in Jackson and Haywood Counties listed that a marriage was held at the home of W. S. Barker (Warren Shadrack). Henry Barker, born 1904, said that Warren's name was Warren Shadrack and that his Warren's father had been Shadrack.

Warren was rumored to have been a sheriff in Jackson Co., but Maxine Barker Kuhn found evidence in 1998 that Warren was actually a court constable from mid-1856 through 1860 at Webster, NC.

Tim and Henry Barker, Jr., found evidence in Nov., 1999, that Warren was a constable in Jackson Co. ----

Warren was appointed constable of Jackson Co. on 3/16/1858, evidence Book 3, Page 162, Year 1860, State of NC to Warren Barker a "Bond" reads as follows:

There were bonds about 2" thick. Warren was scattered through many of them. They are located in the basement of the old jail behind the old courthouse in Jackson Co., NC.

There is a court document where Warren Barker, Hittie (Hettie) Martin, Bud (Warren Barker's son, Warren), and Ira Barker were to defend themselves again larceny and receiving. Must check out this suit and find the results.

In an article "Knowing Jackson... Whipping Posts, Stocks" by J. D. McRorie noted that Jackson County had a whipping post and stocks for about 12 years (1856-1868). NC repealed corporal punishment in all forms and limited the death penalty to four crimes - arson, murder, rape and burglary and further limited other types of punishment to imprisonment with or without hard labor, fines, removal of office." According to Jackson County's first sheriff Edd Douglas Davis, an old man by the name of Warren Barker did the lashing. Note the "old man" portion of that statement. Our Warren was born about 1814. He would have been 42 when lashing began and 54 when it ended. He would have hardly been an "old man." We thought that perhaps it was Shadrack's son Warren born abt. 1792 but Warren was not in NC at that time. It could be that 42-54 years of age was considered "old" when life expectancy was lower than it is in the late 1900s. According to the article, while Warren did the lashing, the sheriff made sure that Warren was not hitting the prisoners "too hard." Yet, Sheriff Davis pointed out that, yet, in spite of that, the licks often brought the blood. Keep in mind that Warren was a constable and this could have been his duty as constable.

Notes for EDITH (EDA) LUCINDA ELLEDGE:

In the 1860 census, Mr. Humphrey P. Brooks was no longer in the home. Edith said he died. It was rumored that Humphrey went off to the Civil War and never returned. However, the Civil War did not start until April 12, 1861 and Edith listed Brooks as deceased in 1860. Edith also bore a child by Warren Barker in 1861. There can be no records found of Humphrey Brooks serving in either the Confederate or Union forces. Humphrey Posey Brooks shows up late in a census report in AR married to a Sarah Settles and having a family with her.

 In the 1870 census, Edith and her four children: Emily (Emiline), 13, Zeb. V., 12, Mary M. 8; and W. Grant, 4, were living with Esther E. Martin as head of the household and three of her children Sarah J. 9; A. Sherman, 5, and M.A.M. 5/12 (Marthan Ann Hasseltine). John Martin wasn't listed but Hettie hasn't yet had her last child Warren A. L. (Lush).

Floyd Parrish wrote that In 1860 census, Edith lived on the Hannah Cabe and husband's (Warren Barker) land.

Her death certificate listed her name as Eda Lucinda Brooks (not Barker). The Riverside Methodist Church in Macon Co., NC, listed her as the spouse of Warren Barker in recording her death. In the 1860 census, Edith was listed as head of her household. Swain Co. Heritage had Edith's birth date differently than the Riverside Methodist Church Cemetery. Cemetery had she was born 6/22/1838 and died 9/3/1919 vs. 6/25/1838 bd and 7/23/1919 dd. Cemetery records record her name as Edith Brooks (1st husband's surname) Barker. Her death certificate listed her name as Eda Lucinda Brooks.

Edith's children by Brooks were often referred to as Barker.

Edith married Humprhey P. Brooks using the name as Edith L. Ellige...not Ellege or Elledge.

Henry and James Barker (grandchildren of Edith) said that Edith was a Herrin and 1/4 Cherokee Indian.

In checking the census reports, Millie Elledge (Edith's mom) would have been 49 when Edith was born. There was a daughter of William and Millie Henson Elledge that could have possibly given birth to Edith. There was a Berry Herrin family that were neighbors of the Elledges. Maxine Kuhn heard her father Henry Barker (grandson of Edith) refer to an Ole Berry Herrin. Berry Herrin's wife was Edith Barker Herrin. It is interesting that Edith Elledge was named Edith also (possibly in honor of her natural grandmother??). Edith had a brother James who married a full Cherokee Indian by the name of Jane. In looking at Elledge family pictures, there appears to be no Indian features in that line. If Edith Elledge was truly a Herrin, then it is very likely she was part Cherokee Indian. There are many Herrins and Herrons on the Cherokee Dawes Roster. NOTE ALSO that Edith was born in 1838 which is the year the Cherokee Indians were forced from their western NC land. Could her parents have been forced to leave and she was taken in by the Elledges????

Notes for HANNAH CABE:

Cabe was shortened from McCabe.

Sarah Gunter's notes from Floyd Parris indicated Hannah died in 1855. However, Hannah appeared on the census reports until she was at least 65 years of age. Tim Barker found Hannah's estate was to be administered by E. H. Cagle on 5/14/1887. Joseph Green was granted a deed for 50 acres for $150 on February 20, 1888 (Book 12, page 296, 1890 (year)), Jackson Co. Courthouse, NC.

H. K. Jones transferred 100 acres of land to Hannah Barker in 1869 when Jackson Co. was still part of Macon Co., NC.

Notes for SHADRACK BARKER:

Shadrach Barker was a private in the Civil War, NC State Troops, Vol. VIII, Co. F, 29th, NC Troops, page 281. He had resided in Jackson Co., NC, enlisted at age 20, August 31, 1861. Captured and paroled at Yazoo City, MS, July 13, 1863. No further records. Warren Avery Barker told his grandson Roy Barker that the family kept looking down the road to see if Shade was coming but he never returned from the Civil War.
