Barker and Descedndants

The name Barker is generally believed by family historians to be derived from  the Anglo-Saxon word Beore or from the Anglo-French word Berovier, meaning  Sheppard. Many etymologist derive the name from the ancient trade barker or  tanner, or bark for tanning, The name is found on ancient English and earlier  American records, spelled Barcarious, Barkere, Barkar, and Barker which is  generally accepted today. One of the earliest English names Barker dates back  to 1200. Ralph DeCalverhall progenitor of the Barker families lived in the  year 1200. He married Margaret Pigot, was father of William LeBarker.They   carried the name DeCalverhall for six generations of the manor of Calverhall.  They later were known as LeBarker for five generations. The first Barkers to  journey to America was Robert, who came to the  Massachusetts Colony in 1628.  They are among the earliest settlers of the colonies. There are several  different lines of the Barker lineage and these, besides the Massachusetts  line is the Connecticut line, the Delaware line, the Virginia line and others.  We are from the Virginia line, as are most of the Barkers in Boone County,  West Virginia.

In the year 1751 Captain James Barker of Portsmouth England married Mary  Smith. He and Mary left soon after marrying and came to America. Mary and  James had at least two sons Issac and Jacob. James brothers, Ephraim and  Richard settled at Pomfret, Connecticut before 1752. Captain James settled at  Richmond, Virginia
