Barkers in Cambridgeshire
Karen Horn 1/12/03
Karen, My Barker family came from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire.Thomas Barker(born June 1802) married Sarah Watting (B. in Bermie, April 14, 1802)They had two children, Sarah(born in Aldreth, Cambridgeshire 1831) , and David (b.1836).It appears Thomas' wife died & he decided to emigrate to the US in abt 1848.Thomas & the two children appear on the 1850 US census in Dodge Co., Wisconsin.I have been unable to track what happened to David after 1850, but have lots on info on Sarah Barker (Thomas) Iveson.She is my gg grandmother.I'm not sure if this is your line, but I would be glad to share the info I have.Best Wishes,Elise.
