Biography

https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/b/a/r/Larry-H-Barker/WEBSITE-0001/UHP...

From deeds and the above court records we know that John Barker had three sons: John, Jethro, and Joel. The wife of John Barker and the mother of his sons is not known. Since there is no will for John Barker it is possible that there may have been other children. A Joshua Barker was mentioned in court records in 1674.

Children

1. Joshua Barker ( born - died before 1679)
2. John Barker, Jr.
3. Joel Barker
4. Jethro Barker (born 1688 - died 1747)

Disproved Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Drew-799 Comments:

Descendants' claim that she was the daughter of Thomas Drew Jr. born in 1615 is not credible. Thomas had only one daughter, Dorothy Drew.

It is also stated that her mother was Frances Barker (born Ward) 1599-1677.
