Jesse Barker 1804 RockinghamNC>IN
HELP!!I am looking for a Jesse Barker born in abt. 1804 in Rockingham Co.,NC.He was married to a July Ann/Julia Gilliland, also from Rockingham Co.,NC, (her father listed as John J. Gilliland).They married in Decatur Co. IN on 9-28-1830. I believe that Jesse may be the father of Joseph P. Barker, who was my husbands ggg grandfather but can find no records of them past their marriage. Joseph P. Barker was found in Decatur Co.,IN in 1850 census living with a Sarah and Stafford Johnson.He was listed as being 19 yrs old, born in IN and occ. was laborer and he listed he was in school. Joseph had a son Jesse Jacob Barker b. 6-27-1857.
Family history has that a grandfathersomewhere along the line, owned between 600-1000 acre plantation in TN, supposedly the Chattanooga area, most probably in the late 1700s.Have been unable to trace this information, as I cannot find the lineage past Joseph Barker.Any information will be of a great help in the genealogical brick wall.
Thanks,
Susan
