I have learned that the NY Public library has many copies of Barker gen books. I have a xerorx copy of some of the early pages stating the Barker name came from Calverhill. They were located in the 1200s at Cheswardin, Shropshire, England. They immigrated to MA (Robert Barker) and Eliozabeth Frye has traced the genealogy down quite a ways from there. I have tried with success to get a library loan on her book. I understand it is for sale (a copy) for about $65.GenBooks may have a listing as I remember. I will look for more info for you.
I will be scanning the pages I have soon. Would you like a copy? Please mail me at [email protected]
