I am looking for the father of Moses Barker who married Sarah "Sally" Steele. He was born around 1800 and died around 1863 in Monroe County, OH. Their children were born mostly in Monroe County, OH but many moved to Brown County, IN. Moses had the following siblings: Amos, Isaiah, John, Ezra, Elias, Elisha and maybe Lovica. Moses and Sarah's children were: Jesse, Elisha, John, Benjamin, Lyda Anne, Mary, Ezra, Susanna, Noah, James, George Washington, Alvin and Sarah Ann.

My mother and grandfather did a lot of work on this family line including traveling to Monroe county, looking at records, the old homestead, baptismal records, family registers, etc. Evidently there was a fire that destroyed some records.

Based on a conversation they had with a family friend in Monroe County, we think Moses came from England around 1820 but we have no evidence. From the same source we also think that Moses' father's name was Israel. Again, this is speculated.

I would very much like to get in touch with anyone working on this branch of the Barker family. I have a lot of information about everyone descended from Moses. I'd love to get beyond Moses!!

Thanks!
