Looking for a GUSTAFSON connection with William H Barker ENG c 1810,
Elizabeth Stewart c 1810 IRE, & their son Joshua Paul GUSTAFSON
Barker, born 15 Aug 1830 NYC.
William H Barker and an unknown number of BARKER brothers arrived in
NYC from England c 1830. At least one brother may have jumped ship.
This allegedly "blue blooded" English family were mariners who had
noble relatives including a General BARKER, believed to have been in
one of the Boer Wars .
A painting by a family member c 1830 depicting their old English
homestead shows a thatched roof and a sailor in uniform. We have been
told the depicted home is similar to the homes in southern England. A
large very old tree is in front of the house. The sailor appears to
have walked to the house down a lane which might indicate he lived
close to where his ship was moored. The sailor is being greeted by a
woman, 3 daughters and a son.
The immigrant BARKER brother that we know is my ancestor,
William H Barker of ENG married to Elizabeth Stewart of IRE.
Son Joshua born 1830 in NYC later lived in Boston, MA. We would like
to find the GUSTOFSONS , STEWARTS, English Barkers and the other
brothers who we believe did not settle in New England ( unconfirmed ).
If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me.
Thank you for your help.
