Yes, Gray, son of Rivers Barker, is the one who married Eliz Gilbert, dau of James Gilbert, who was surety at their wedding.The marriage was Dec 11, 1785, Sussex Co. VASince this Gray Barker was surety for my Reuben Wright who marr Anna Gilbert in 1798 in Sussex Co., I am fairly certain that these Gilbert girls are related & probably sisters.My Anna Gilbert Wright named a son, my 3rd gr grandfather, James Gilbert Wright.
If anybody has any info on James Gilbert, who was in the 1810 Sussex Co VA census along with several Jarretts (my Wrights were from the same line as Jarrett/Wright lines of Lunenburg Co. VA, per dna) & Gray Barker, please let me know.
These Wrights went on to OH & then into Henry Co. IN & some went to Jasper Co. IL in about 1840.Others went to Madison Co. IL area & Wilkes/Hancock Co. GA area.
