General Notes:Tax lists of Henry County, Virginia by Lela C. Adams page 9
1778 - Barker, John - Double tax

A double tax in Henry County at that time indicates the John Barker Sr refused an oath of loyalty to the state of Virginia. He apparently was still loyal to England even though his son, Thomas O Barker was probably a Revolutionary war soldier at this time and his other sons where not doubled taxed, they apparently had already taken the oath. Regardless, John Barker Sr seems to have taken the oath before tax season the next year.

The National Park Service Kings Mountain National Military Park web site: http://www.nps.gov/kimo/ Kings Mountain National Military Park commemorates a pivotal and significant victory by American Patriots over American Loyalists during the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. The battle fought on October 7, 1780 destroyed the left wing of Cornwallis' army and effectively ended Loyalist ascendance in the Carolinas. The victory halted the British advance into North Carolina, forced Lord Cornwallis to retreat from Charlotte into South Carolina, and gave General Nathanael Greene the opportunity to reorganize the American Army.

Abstracts of Henry County, Virginia Deed Books I and II by Lela C. Adams. 1975:
p. 53 Deed pages 295, 296 Nov 1779 Charles Barker and Edward Barker witnesses to deed. Land sold "Beginning at a beech on the south side of Smith River ".

1778 -A Charles Barker appears on the 1778 Henry County Tax List. If at least 21 years old, the traditional birth date would be incorrect. His birth year would have to be 1757 or earlier to own property in 1778. The Charles Barker listed in the Henry County records might not be the same Charles Barker who is the son of John Barker and Martha Snead.

1779 - Charles Barker does not appear on the Henry County Tax List.
(Perhaps the Henry County Charles and Edward Barker were Charles, Sr.'s brother, uncle or cousin).

General Notes:Some researchers list William Bays, Sr. as having married a Rachel Broadwater. Some researchers list Wiliam Bays, Sr. as having married a Rachel Barker. The sources for both are unknown. A marriage to a Bays rather than a Broadwater seems more likely because these families both came from Henry County, VA. However, this marriage is not proved. At the moment, it is based strictly on probability rather than any documentation.

Rachel married William Bays in 1779. William was born in 1760 in Halifax, Virginia, USA and died in 1827 in Scott County, Virginia, USA at age 67.

From a military point of view, the history of the entire regiment hinged on the first nine days of September 1863. The capture of two-thirds of the regiment's effective force at Cumberland Gap was never overcome. The 64th's first regimental commander, Campbell Slemp, was cashiered from service for disobeying orders. Auburn Pridemore and the other field and staff officers, however, were apparently no better at military discipline than Slemp was. In-fighting among the 64th Virginia Mounted Infantry's regimental and brigade officers destroyed a potentially valuable group of soldiers for the Confederacy. The regiment's men finally accepted more far-flung assignments, but it was too late to be of benefit or to redeem their reputation.
The casualties taken in battle were among the lowest of any regiment in the Confederate Army. Despite the lack of shed blood, the regiment suffered a horrendous death rate, mostly at the infamous Union prison at Camp Douglas. The record of the regiment is mixed and so is the commentary. A group of men with no vested economic interest in Southern Independence served, but only served where they could care for the needs of their families.

The Barker Family was privileged to have been among the early settlers of Cass County, Missouri having moved here in 1866 from Washington County, Virginia. The family had been established in Virginia more than two-hundred years earlier by an English immigrant, and several of its members fought against the British in the Revolutionary War Battle of King's Mountains, North Carolina.

Joseph G. Barker (1784-7 March 1857), a Baptist Minister, was the father of Sherwood Millard Barker (24 August 1818 - 22 June 1890). Sherwood married Katherine S. (Kate) Barker (22 November 1819 -15 March 1891) on 20 April 1842 and to this union were born eleven children.

Shortly after his father's death, Sherwood M. Barker sold his Virginia land, and moved his large family to Missouri where he bought land south of Peculiar. Two cousins settled nearby.
Sherwood Barker was a Baptist Minister, and his family helped organize the Anitoch Baptist (Rodman) Church on 29 August 1889. He also taught school and farmed. His children were well educated and all of them taught school in Cass County at one time or another.

The oldest son, William Millard Barker (17 March 1847 - 7 December 1934), became a Baptist Minister (like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather) and was the pastor at Grand River Church, then a Missionary in Oklahoma among the Indians, the Editor of the Baptist Flag Paper at Fulton, Kentucky about 1911 and later became the president of a Baptist college in Illinois. William M. married Lorena Belle Bittle (8 August 1855 - 6 June 1949) at Arkansas City, Arkansas in 1887. Their children: William Millard Barker, Jr. (2 March 1889- 22 June 1928); Franklin Able Barker (1893-1922); Sherwood Julian Barker (18 January 1898). Sherwood lives in Napa, California.

Frederick Washington Barker (18 July 1853 - 1 March 1928). His brother, Sylvanus Gerard Barker (23 January 1855 7 September 1919), was Cass County School Commissioner (1887-1893) and organized the first Teacher's Institute. Another brother, Sherwood Frank Barker (13 October 1857 - 2 July 1933), was a surveyor and assisted in making the Cass County plat
of 1877.

Sherwood M., Katherine S., Fred, Harriet, and Madge Barker are buried in Peculiar Cemetery, Peculiar, Missouri. Arthur V. Barker and his wife, Mary Elizabeth are buried in Pitts Chapel Cemetery, rural Harrisonville, The Duvals, except Eunice, are buried in Freeman Cemetery. Eunice Barker is buried at Whittier, California. Data on the Ellon T. Barker Davis family is not known.

The only members of the Barker family who still reside in Cass County are the granddaughter and great-grandchildren of Fred's sister, Jennie and his grandchildren, who own the home in Peculiar.

"Rev. S. M. Barker Family"


Sherwood Millard Barker, a Baptist minister, moved his family from the Poor Valley of Virginia to West Peculiar Township in 1866. They settled on a farm near a little town named Girard, later known as Barton Station. Most of the way to Missouri they used oxen. There were eight children in the family ranging in age from a baby to 23 years of age namely: Sarah Ann (Sally) (1843), Ellen T. (1846), William Millard (1847), Frederick Washington (1853),
Sylvanus Girard (1855), Mary Jennie Dodge (1859), Sherwood Frank (1857), Candace Katie (1862), and Eliza Uranus (1866). Rev. Barker was of English descent and his wife, Catherine S. Barker (maiden name) was of German descent. There were two other Barker families who settled nearby, John and Horace, who were cousins of S. M. Barker.

The Barker family helped to organize the Rodman church. All the children were well educated by their parents, some being sent to Illinois to attend school. All of them taught for a time in Cass County schools. The family were talented musicians and the Barker Boys Quartet was a popular attraction for many occasions. The boys were also in demand as debators and orators at Literary Society meetings.

William (Billy) became a minister in the Baptist Church and for a time was pastor at Grand River Church. He also served as a missionary in Oklahoma to the Indians before becoming president of a Baptist College in Illinois. He was married to Belle Bittle and had three sons, Frank, Millard and Sherwood. He retired in California. Sally's first husband was named Bristow and there were two children, Claude and Kate. Her second marriage was to Billy Weathers and they made their home a short distance north of Harrisonville. Ellen married John Davis and her children were Jessie, Fanny, Mattie and Johnnie. Their home was in Colorado and California. Frank, who was a surveyor, helped in making one of the early plat books of Cass County. Girard was Cass County school Commissioner for some time.

These two men and Kate and Eliza never married. About 1914 the four moved to California. Jennie was married to David W. Duvall and lived on a farm south of Freeman. She had five children, Jennie Adeline, Beulah, Eunice, Alta and Earl. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Kenagy and children Roy, Beth, David, Jimmy and Gary of Garden City, are the only members of the Barker family who now live in Cass County.

Fred, the only Barker boy to remain in Cass County his lifetime, taught his first school at Rodman. While teaching at Hickory Grove south of Freeman, he would walk to and from the Barker farm each weekend. He purchased the farm owned by his brother, Frank, located just east of his father's farm.

His wife was Harriet Ann Broadbrook. There were three children, Madge, who died at the age of 3 years; Mabelle, and Arthur, who both now live in Kansas City. Arthur still owns his father's farm and is often tending to farm chores there. Arthur has three children, Arthur F., Gerald, and Bettie J. Fred was elected to the office of Highway Engineer two years and County Surveyor and Engineer for six years. During that time he introduced concrete for bridges and culverts. There was much opposition to this but it proved to be successful. He abolished letting of contracts to contractors which caused much enmity, but built about 1,000 bridges and culverts, all of which proved to be a valuable experiment to the taxpayer. He spent the rest of his life on his farm. He was a friendly and helpful person who loved practical jokes.

Fred Barker died March 1, 1928 and is buried at Peculiar, as is his father (d:1890) and mother (d:1894)."

General Notes:After marrying at age 37, Joseph Gaddy Barker, Jr.'s first farm was near Zenobia, Virginia. He was also a teacher. Later, he rented a farm near Hiltons, Virginia. By the 1930's, his granddaughter- in- law believed that Joseph owned considerable property and "never worked a day in his life". My father believed that Joseph owned almost the entire town of Mendota. I suspect they were both misinformed. One of my goals is to learn how to research land records. I already suspect that he owned enough land to sell as needed to support his family during his retirement but little more given a modest inheritance and occupation as a farmer and teacher.
His granddaughter, Mary Kate Barker, told me she and the other children always called him Santa Claus because of his long white beard. His adult nickname was "Rucker Joe". I don't know what is meant by this nickname. The only hint we have is that his mother's brother Thomas Vicars, married Mary Rucker. I have no other information on the Rucker family.

From "Cass County Missouri Families", Cass County Historical Society

The Barker Family was privileged to have been among the early settlers of Cass County, Missouri having moved here in 1866 from Washington County, Virginia. The family had been established in Virginia more than two-hundred years earlier by an English immigrant, and several of its members fought against the British in the Revolutionary War Battle of King's Mountains, North Carolina.

Joseph G. Barker (1784-7 March 1857), a Baptist Minister, was the father of Sherwood Millard Barker (24 August 1818 - 22 June 1890). Sherwood married Katherine S. (Kate) Barker (22 November 1819 -15 March 1891) on 20 April 1842 and to this union were born eleven children.

Shortly after his father's death, Sherwood M. Barker sold his Virginia land, and moved his large family to Missouri where he bought land south of Peculiar. Two cousins settled nearby.
Sherwood Barker was a Baptist Minister, and his family helped organize the Anitoch Baptist (Rodman) Church on 29 August 1889. He also taught school and farmed. His children were well educated and all of them taught school in Cass County at one time or another.

The oldest son, William Millard Barker (17 March 1847 - 7 December 1934), became a Baptist Minister (like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather) and was the pastor at Grand River Church, then a Missionary in Oklahoma among the Indians, the Editor of the Baptist Flag Paper at Fulton, Kentucky about 1911 and later became the president of a Baptist college in Illinois. William M. married Lorena Belle Bittle (8 August 1855 - 6 June 1949) at Arkansas City, Arkansas in 1887. Their children: William Millard Barker, Jr. (2 March 1889- 22 June 1928); Franklin Able Barker (1893-1922); Sherwood Julian Barker (18 January 1898). Sherwood lives in Napa, California.

Frederick Washington Barker (18 July 1853 - 1 March 1928). His brother, Sylvanus Gerard Barker (23 January 1855 7 September 1919), was Cass County School Commissioner (1887-1893) and organized the first Teacher's Institute. Another brother, Sherwood Frank Barker (13 October 1857 - 2 July 1933), was a surveyor and assisted in making the Cass County plat
of 1877.

Sherwood M., Katherine S., Fred, Harriet, and Madge Barker are buried in Peculiar Cemetery, Peculiar, Missouri. Arthur V. Barker and his wife, Mary Elizabeth are buried in Pitts Chapel Cemetery, rural Harrisonville, The Duvals, except Eunice, are buried in Freeman Cemetery. Eunice Barker is buried at Whittier, California. Data on the Ellon T. Barker Davis family is not known.

The only members of the Barker family who still reside in Cass County are the granddaughter and great-grandchildren of Fred's sister, Jennie and his grandchildren, who own the home in Peculiar.

From "Cass County Missouri Families", Cass County Historical Society
"Rev. S. M. Barker Family"


Sherwood Millard Barker, a Baptist minister, moved his family from the Poor Valley of Virginia to West Peculiar Township in 1866. They settled on a farm near a little town named Girard, later known as Barton Station. Most of the way to Missouri they used oxen. There were eight children in the family ranging in age from a baby to 23 years of age namely: Sarah Ann (Sally) (1843), Ellen T. (1846), William Millard (1847), Frederick Washington (1853),
Sylvanus Girard (1855), Mary Jennie Dodge (1859), Sherwood Frank (1857), Candace Katie (1862), and Eliza Uranus (1866). Rev. Barker was of English descent and his wife, Catherine S. Barker (maiden name) was of German descent. There were two other Barker families who settled nearby, John and Horace, who were cousins of S. M. Barker.

The Barker family helped to organize the Rodman church. All the children were well educated by their parents, some being sent to Illinois to attend school. All of them taught for a time in Cass County schools. The family were talented musicians and the Barker Boys Quartet was a popular attraction for many occasions. The boys were also in demand as debators and orators at Literary Society meetings.

William (Billy) became a minister in the Baptist Church and for a time was pastor at Grand River Church. He also served as a missionary in Oklahoma to the Indians before becoming president of a Baptist College in Illinois. He was married to Belle Bittle and had three sons, Frank, Millard and Sherwood. He retired in California. Sally's first husband was named Bristow and there were two children, Claude and Kate. Her second marriage was to Billy Weathers and they made their home a short distance north of Harrisonville. Ellen married John Davis and her children were Jessie, Fanny, Mattie and Johnnie. Their home was in Colorado and California. Frank, who was a surveyor, helped in making one of the early plat books of Cass County. Girard was Cass County school Commissioner for some time.

These two men and Kate and Eliza never married. About 1914 the four moved to California. Jennie was married to David W. Duvall and lived on a farm south of Freeman. She had five children, Jennie Adeline, Beulah, Eunice, Alta and Earl. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Kenagy and children Roy, Beth, David, Jimmy and Gary of Garden City, are the only members of the Barker family who now live in Cass County.

Fred, the only Barker boy to remain in Cass County his lifetime, taught his first school at Rodman. While teaching at Hickory Grove south of Freeman, he would walk to and from the Barker farm each weekend. He purchased the farm owned by his brother, Frank, located just east of his father's farm.

His wife was Harriet Ann Broadbrook. There were three children, Madge, who died at the age of 3 years; Mabelle, and Arthur, who both now live in Kansas City. Arthur still owns his father's farm and is often tending to farm chores there. Arthur has three children, Arthur F., Gerald, and Bettie J. Fred was elected to the office of Highway Engineer two years and County Surveyor and Engineer for six years. During that time he introduced concrete for bridges and culverts. There was much opposition to this but it proved to be successful. He abolished letting of contracts to contractors which caused much enmity, but built about 1,000 bridges and culverts, all of which proved to be a valuable experiment to the taxpayer. He spent the rest of his life on his farm. He was a friendly and helpful person who loved practical jokes.

Fred Barker died March 1, 1928 and is buried at Peculiar, as is his father (d:1890) and mother (d:1894)."

From a military point of view, the history of the entire regiment hinged on the first nine days of September 1863. The capture of two-thirds of the regiment's effective force at Cumberland Gap was never overcome. The 64th's first regimental commander, Campbell Slemp, was cashiered from service for disobeying orders. Auburn Pridemore and the other field and staff officers, however, were apparently no better at military discipline than Slemp was. In-fighting among the 64th Virginia Mounted Infantry's regimental and brigade officers destroyed a potentially valuable group of soldiers for the Confederacy. The regiment's men finally accepted more far-flung assignments, but it was too late to be of benefit or to redeem their reputation.

The casualties taken in battle were among the lowest of any regiment in the Confederate Army. Despite the lack of shed blood, the regiment suffered a horrendous death rate, mostly at the infamous Union prison at Camp Douglas. The record of the regiment is mixed and so is the commentary. A group of men with no vested economic interest in Southern Independence served, but only served where they could care for the needs of their families.

Elkanah D. Barker was in Company K, enlisted at Hickory Flats Virginia, deserted 12/19/1862 when "gone back to KY" when checked on by authorities. (Civil War Records)

Regimental History
Second Infantry
TENNESSEE
(3-YEARS)


Second Infantry. -- Col., James P. T. Carter; Lieut.-Cols., Daniel C. Trewhitt, John W. Bowman, James M. Melton; Majs., Eli M. Cleveland, Daniel A. Carpenter.

This regiment was recruited and organized at Camp Dick Robison, Ky. It was mustered into service to date from Sept. 28, 1861, and on Oct. 18 following marched to meet the Confederate forces under Gen. Zollicoffer.

From that time until the evacuation of Cumberland Gap by the Federal forces under Gen. George W. Morgan in Sept. 1862, the regiment was employed in eastern Kentucky, participating in the battle of Mill Springs and many lesser engagements. It
then marched through northeastern Kentucky, crossed into Ohio and thence entered the Kanawha valley, W. Va.

Returning by way of Point Pleasant, Ohio, it went from there to Louisville by river, thence by land to Murfreesboro where it was engaged in the battle of Stone's River. It remained there until March 10, 1863, when it returned to Kentucky for
the purpose of being mounted, which was done about June 1, 1863.

It remained in Kentucky, participating in various minor engagements with the Confederate forces under Pegram and Scott, until July 4, when it started in pursuit of Gen. Morgan in his raid through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio and was present
at his capture. It then returned to Stanford, Ky., and joined the force under Gen. Burnside for the campaign in East Tennessee.

It was in the advance of Burnside's forces at Wolf creek and Loudon, Tenn. and was present at the surrender of Cumberland Gap by the Confederate Gen. Frazier. It also took the advance of the column which moved into upper East Tennessee from
Knoxville and brought on the battle of Blue Springs.

After pursuing the retreating forces to Abingdon, Va., and destroying a large amount of stores, it returned to Rogersville, Tenn., where on Nov. 6, 1863, the regiment was captured by Gen. Jones. Most of those who had been captured -
- 117 men -- soon afterward made their escape, reported at Knoxville and were on duty there during the siege.

Soon afterward the remnants of the regiment were gathered up and detailed as provost guards at Sevierville, Maryville, Clinton and Maynardville. In Sept. 1864, the garrison at Maryville, consisting of 28 men, was captured. The remaining
detachments were then ordered immediately to Lee's ferry on the Clinch River, to harass Wheeler's forces, who were then on a raid through East Tennessee.

After this expedition the regiment returned to Knoxville, where on Oct. 6, 1864, it was mustered out, there being at that time only 106 of the original number. The veterans and recruits were consolidated into a battalion, which was mustered out Aug. 1865, in accordance with orders from the War Department.

General Notes:25 JUL 1850 Lee County, Virginia
Joel Barker is enumerated with Charles C. Barker. He is 7, born in Virginia.

14 JUN 1860 Campbell County, Tennessee
Joel Barker is enumerated with Mitchell Barker. He is 17, a farmhand, and married within the year.

Joel Barker (1842-1894) was born in the first half of June, 1842 at his parent's farm in Lee County on Powell River near Jonesville, Virginia. Joel left home at the age of 16 or 17 and obtained at least enough education to be literate, however, his knowledge of the woods and wildlife was extensive. He loved to roam the out-doors, hunt and was an expert rifle shot.

As a grown man, he was approximately 5'11" tall, large framed, fair complected with light hair and blue eyes. It was said of him that he was a "daredevil" sort of person as a young man. About 1858-59, he moved to Campbell Co., Tennessee where he lived with his brother Mitchell and worked as a farm hand. While there he met and courted Elizabeth Johnston, the daughter of David Johnston, who operated a water powered grist mill in the Powell River Valley in Campbell County. Joel and Elizabeth were married on the 12th of April, 1860 in Campbell Co., Tenn. by Alexander Heatherly, a justice of the peace. He continued to live with his brother, Mitchell, at Fincastle, Campbell Co., Tenn., for awhile. At the time of his marriage he was still employed as a farm hand and had personal property of $30., as listed in the 1860 census. Around July 1, 1863, Joel decided to enlist in the Union Army. It was said that his decision to join the Union Army rather than the Confederate was based more on the nearness of a recruiting station than on any compulsion to fight for a cause. He just wanted to fight and the Union Army was nearer at the time.

It was also said that he didn't like the first outfit he joined, so he quit, went over the hill - almost literally and joined another. At any rate, he was a member, along with his brother, William, of Company E of the Second Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry under the command of Captain Branson. At the end of the Civil War, he was honorably discharged on the 9th of August, 1865 in Nashville, Tenn. He was a private and served part of the time as a guide. When he was discharged, he was due $27.04 back pay and $100. bounty. These sums were never collected.

Joel and Elizabeth had the following children: John Henry (1861-1925), Charles David (1863-1928), William Russell (1866-1943), and Isaac Burney (1869-1948). Around the time that Burney was born, Joel borrowed a horse from their neighbor, James Ousley, and went to Nashville to see about collecting his back pay and bounty from the army. When he didn't return, they went to look for him. They found the horse in a pasture just outside of Nashville, but they never found Joel. His family never heard from him again. This was in the fall of 1869.

Joel had been wanting to travel west, but his wife, Elizabeth, didn't want to go. He claimed that too many in-laws visiting had something to do with his leaving. Joel actually traveled to Kansas City and lived there awhile. Elizabeth, not hearing any more of Joel, had him declared dead. Elizabeth later remarried and so did Joel. In Kansas City, Joel met and married his second wife Mishia Palmer. They moved to Colorado and settled near Trinidad in Los Animos County. Their home was at the foot of the Spanish Peaks on a stream called the Apishipa. They had the following children: Frank Barker (b.1879), Pearl Barker (b. 1882), May Barker (b.1884), Alva Barker (b.1886), Thomas Barker (b.1888) and Jewel (a boy - b.1890). Mishia died around 1891. The two sets of children did not know about each
other.

Joel married a third time in Hastings, Colorado on Dec. 13, 1893 to Nancy Ann Caldwell, the family's former housekeeper. They had no children.

In 1890, Joel applied for a pension under the Act of June 27, 1890, granting pensions to disabled soldiers and sailors. He also made two other applications, the last one in 1893. On the application it was stated that he had no means of support and that he had been unable to do a full day's work since he was 46 because of heart trouble, rheumatism and injuries. In the 1890s he lived near Jaroso, Colorado, where he died on July 8, 1894.

***The above story is borrowed from John Kelly Barker's web site***

While visiting her daughter Allie, Priscilla Barker (wife of Squire Leander Barker) also saw Joel and his family, in Colorado.

Joel married Elizabeth Johnson on Apr 12, 1860 in Campbell County, Tennessee, USA. Elizabeth was born on Aug 12, 1836 in Knox, Knox County, Tennessee, USA, died on Mar 4, 1897 in Douglas, Missouri, USA at age 60, and was buried in Vanzant, Douglas, Missouri, USA.

General Notes:After Joel left, Elizabeth and her children lived near her family. Her father, David Johnston, operated a grist mill on Cedar Creek in Powell Valley in Campbell Co., Tenn. In 1871, David Johnston and his family, including Elizabeth and her four sons, moved to Augusta, Pike Co., Indiana. Around 1872, while in Indiana, Elizabeth married again to Andrew Jackson Estes. Charley's father also remarried and settled in Colorado, although Charley and his brothers
never knew about it. In 1878, the Johnston, Estes and Barker families, along with the James Ousley family, moved to Missouri. They traveled by Ox-drawn wagons and crossed the Mississippi River into Missouri at Cape Girardeau. They brought along one milk cow. The
Johnston, Estes and Barker families first settled in Dent Co., Missouri, but after a year or so later moved on to Douglas Co., Missouri to a farm located below where Hwy. HH crosses the Norfolk River. Andrew Estes died in the winter of 1881-82 and was buried in the Bittick Cemetery.

Elizabeth and her sons, who were nearly grown, moved to Clinton Township near Vanzant, Missouri.

Children from this marriage were:

SQUIRE L. BARKER was born July 4th, 1847, in Lee county, Virginia. To be born in the Old Dominion on the Fourth of July was certainly a patriotic start in the world. And his biography, if written in full, would be somewhat eventful for one of his age.

During the civil war he lived in a section of country that was alternately overrun and pillaged by the contending armies, and sometimes he could hear the roar of cannon and the clash of resounding arms, reverberating over the hills and through the valleys of his beloved State. His young heart was fired, and his sentiments he could but freely speak.

And, though but a boy, he was silenced by being sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, where he was incarcerated in December, 1864. He was not liberated till the 8th of May, 1865. During his confinement he was sick a great deal, and meditated on things divine. When released, pale and emaciated, he had no thought of enlisting in any earthly army to fight with carnal weapons. He wanted to become a soldier of the cross; but how? was the question that confronted him.

On his return home, light broke in on his mind by hearing the gospel preached by Eld. Samuel Shelburn. He saw his duty clear, and resolved to obey forthwith. He was accordingly baptized, in 1865, in a beautiful running stream near a church called Mount Olivet. Three years later he took another wise step--he was married to a Miss McGuire, July 16th, 1868, which, he says, was the very making of him.

In 1871 he moved to Burnett county, Texas, where he made himself useful as a Sunday-school worker. In 1882 he removed to Hulltown, Shackleford county, where he now resides, and was soon set apart as an elder in the church. A minister of one of the denominations announced that he would read from his creed, to let the people know its teachings, which he did. Bro. Barker then announced that he would read from his creed, to let the people know what it taught. He read from the New Testament. From that time he was a preacher. The brethren recognized the fact, and called in Bro. Silas Scarborough and formally set him apart. During the recent protracted drought that prevailed in Western Texas, Brother Barker became extensively known by his efforts in behalf of the sufferers.

"Detailed accounts have been published of the covered wagon journey of the Squire Leander Barker family who settled in Sapello Canyon in San Miguel County, New Mexico in October 1889." This is from the preface of an excellent book documenting the history of Squire Leander Barker and his descendants. The Pioneer Squire Barker

"During the Civil War while out hunting Squire was captured by Union soldiers and taken to Camp Chase, Ohio. He was a prisoner there from Dec. 1864 to May 1865. He was not a soldier in the War and very outspoken about the cruelties of both sides.
After the war, Squire heard sermons of Samuel Shelburne, a local evangelist who was quite active in the "Restoration" movement of the Church of Christ in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. In 1865 Squire was baptized. About this time, he met a young lady, Priscilla Jane McGuire, who was also baptized in 1865. Three years later, Squire and Priscilla were married July 16, 1868.

The wedding ceremony for Squire and Priscilla was performed by James Shelburne, a Church of Christ minister, in the McGuire home. For three years they lived with Squire's parents. Squire worked as a farmer, blacksmith, and apprentice stonemason.

Alice and Ben were born in VA. The war had devastated so much of the area that the young couple decided to head for Texas. Shortly after Ben's birth the family moved to East Texas. In addition to Squire's little family, Grandma and Grandpa Barker, and Uncle Mitchell made the trip. My father said he had only $35.00 in his pocket when they landed in Smith Co. TX, having paid the transportation for all seven of them.

It must have been long, about 500 miles, tiresome trip. They came from Jonesville, VA to Livingston, KY by wagon, then to Memphis, TN by train, then by boat (the Emma C. Elliott) on the Mississippi River to the mouth of the Red River. Then from there they went up the Red River by freighter to Shreveport, LA, then at last to Jamestown, Smith Co. TX.

There were Indians in that part of the country in those days. Grandpa, who worked in the cedar brakes, always carried a gun. Grandma stayed inside the house as much as possible, not even daring to go to the spring for water. She said they often heard Indians riding by in the night. Grandpa's wages were fifty cents a day, and it took close figuring to make it go around for the bare necessities.

About 1872 they moved by train, about 200 miles SW to Dobyville, Burnet Co., TX. The four of them lived in a one-room log cabin and Grandpa and Grandma lived just across the creek. They also took care of Mary, a tenyear-old niece. My father's oldest sister, Mary Ann Longworth died when Mary was born. Father did farm work as a harecropper, helped run the telegraph line to Austin, and did some work for the railroad. Also he did some work as a blacksmith and stone mason. Here, he became active in the work of the Chruch of Christ."

Squire eventually moved his family to Hulltown (now, Moran) , Shackelford Co., TX. There he along with the children built a slip-form, concrete house. While there Squire was Justice of the Peace, Notary Public and became a preacher and Elder of the Church of Christ. In 1889 the family moved to NM

While in NM he spent some time traveling on mission trips to the Mexican people living in that area, but as his family grew he had to dedicate his time to being at home. He and the family had Sunday Bible study, first outside, then at the little school house near their home. He ranched, farmed, and ran a saw mill in NM. He also helped establish the first school in that area.

Squire built a frame house then an adobe house in Las Vegas and the older children lived there during the school term so they could attend high school. Sometimes Priscilla lived with the children and took in borders.

From the notes of "Early life of Ida Barker Blake"
In the year 1873 a group of home seekers came from Virginia and NC to east TX, coming by water to somewhere in LA and then overland. Among this group were my Barker grandparents, Charles Barker and his wife Matilda Snodgrass Barker and also my parents, Squire Leander Barker and Priscilla Jane McGuire Barker with their two children Alice and Benjamin. There is some evidence that my folks came from near Jonesville, VA. My parents had been married July 16, 1868; Alice was born May 1, 1869 and Benjamin F. March 31, 1871.

The family stayed in East TX for several months where my father worked splitting rails at a dollar per day. In the family was Mary Longworth, whom my Barker grandparents had raised following the death of her mother who was their daughter. After Grandfather died when I was six years old, Grandmother Barker, pearlized by a stroke, came to live with us, bringing Mary. Grandfather Barker was quite old when he died. Before he died he called all us children to his bedside and talked to us, telling us to be good children.
This of course happened after they moved further west to Burnet Co., TX where Father acquired a piece of ground which he cultivated. My parents and the two children lived in a one-room cabin. I the third child was born in that cabin. on August 15, 1874. Also, born in Burnet Co. were Minnie, on April 16, 1876, Charles Burton, October 12, 1879, and Pearl November 21, 1881.

Father, a stonemason by trade, built a stone house and Charlie and Pearl were born there. My McGuire grandparents and family moved from VA to Burnet Co. while we were there. They lived there the rest of their lives.

Just a few weeks after Pearl was born in Dec. 1881, we moved farther west into Shackelford Co. where I grew up. In the first place we lived in Shackelford Co. the house was two buildings with a roofed alleyway which was called a "dog-alley" between. Nearly all houses were built that way there with the kitchen and dining room separate from the living quarters.

In 1886 when I was 12 years old, a concrete house was built. My brother Ben, sister, Minnie and I carried pails of concrete and poured them into the forms. When the walls got higher we walked up ramps to reach the top of the forms to pour the concrete. It was a two story house and quite large.

We were a large family when we moved to Shackelford Co, eleven in all. We had good times together. We youngsters used to climb on the rail fence to watch the herds of hundreds of head of cattle trail by. We lived on the highway to Abilene where the cattle were taken for shipment. Sometimes the herd would be an hour passing our place.

Squire's nephew William Campbell Barker married Priscilla's sister Laura.

After Priscilla's death, Squire married Amanda Thompson
He died on June 15, 1930 and was buried in Beaulah cemetery next to Priscilla

Squire married Priscilla Jane McGuire, daughter of Robert Burton McGuire and Mary Evoline Speer, on Jul 16, 1868 in Jonesville, Lee County, Virginia, USA. Priscilla was born on Sep 5, 1848 in Winston-Salem, Surry County, North Carolina, USA, died on Jul 6, 1907 in Las Vegas, San Miguel County, New Mexico, USA at age 58, and was buried on Jul 12, 1907 in Barker Cemetery, Beulah, San Miguel County, New Mexico, USA.

General Notes:Priscilla named the home in Sapello Valley, New Mexico "Buelah" - The promised land.

Priscilla went to see Allie (Alice) and her two granddaughters. She took Mattie and Grace with her for their frist train ride. While in Colorado they also visted one of Squire's brothers Joel Barker and his family.

Priscilla was born in Yadkin Road neighborhood near Winston - S in Surry Co., NC Sept. 5, 1848. She was named after her mother's sister, Priscilla Speer.
She is found in the 1850 census in Surry Co. NC with her parents.
She is listed in 1860 census in Boonville Post Office in Yadkin Co., NC
She moved before 1868 to Virginia where she met and married Squire Leander Barker.

She is found in the 1870 census in Lee Co., VA with Samuel Shelburne, but is married to Squire Barker. Samuel Shelburne was a preacher and family friend and Priscilla may have been taking care of him or his children, or working for him. Squire is shown to be living with his parents, as Priscilla probably did too.

She along with her husband made the westward trip to Burnet Co., TX. and is listed in the Burnet Co., TX1880 census with her family.

They moved to Shackelford Co. TX in 1881 and on to NM in 1889.

Squire and Priscilla Barker left TX in 1889 to move to NM due to Priscilla's struggle with asthma and a drought in 1887 and 1888 in TX. They settled in Sapello Canyon near Las Vegas, NM.

The Barkers named the ranch they bought in NM, Beulah and Priscilla established a post office there and became the postmistress. The children of Squire and Priscilla include many writers, one being the famous cowboy poet, Squire Omar Barker. There is a good family history book by Mattie Barker Phillips Crews, "Back to My Mountain", that is fairly accurate when sharing the details of her immediate family; however some of the facts are wrong about her McGuire grandparents and great-grandparents. This is not surprising considering she moved to NM as a young child and was not raised around her grandparents.

There is another book on the family as well, "The Pioneer Squire Barker Family" by Marjorie and Robert Phillips One of their children, Elliott Speer Barker was a forest ranger in NM. While there, a badly singed (from forest fire) bear cub was turned over to his care which was then turned over to Ray Bell. Mr. Bell and his family took care of the bear then gave the bear "Smokey" back to Elliott. He then turned the bear over to the U.S. Forest Service with the condition that "his life be dedicated to forest fire prevention and wildlife conservation." We know him as "Smokey the Bear".

Priscilla died of pneumonia in 1907.

General Notes:"The Rev. Wilson Gilvan Barker, 1830-1905, was born in Kinderhook, now Memdota. He became the first president of Milligan College as founder of the school when it was originally called Buffalo Institute."

Founder and first President of Milligan College. Milligan College is located in Upper East Tennessee in the territory that was once the lost state of Franklin, lies in an area rich in history and tradition.

At Sycamore Shoals, near the campus, the Watauga Association adopted a constitution providing for self-government, prior to the Declaration of Independence. A few miles from the College, American troops assembled for the famed march to the Battle of King's Mountain, which proved to be the turning point in the American Revolution. Toward the west are the homes of General John Sevier and Colonel John Tipton, early heroes of the Volunteer State. Rocky Mount, the original capital of the Southwest Territory, is some ten miles north of the campus. Jonesborough, the first capital of Tennessee, is some ten miles west of the campus. the homes and land of two of Tennessee's great governors, Robert and Alfred Taylor, are adjacent to the campus.

In the third decade of the nineteenth century, freedom-loving people introduced the Restoration principle into the religious life of the area. Milligan College owes its beginnings to the school conducted in the old Buffalo Church which is now the Hopwood Memorial Church.

On December 10, 1866, Buffalo Male and Female Institute, under the leadership of Wilson G. Barker, was chartered by the State of Tennessee. A building was constructed, and instruction was begun the next year. In 1875, the leadership of this academy was transferred to Josephus Hopwood, a native of Kentucky.

Wilson G. Barker, known to his generations as "Brother Barker" was the first president and teacher of Buffalo Male and Female Institute, founded in 1866.

Sometime prior to May, 1866, Wilson Gilvan Barker, a native of Washington County, Va., came to Buffalo Creek (now Milligan College), Carter County to teach school.

In that day, there was no separate school building as we know school buildings. Class sessions were help in the old Buffalo Creek Church - a large log building (the length of two or more logs) with two doors (a front door and a side door). Barker remodeled the building so it could serve a dual purpose - church and school.

Preaching services were held every fourth Sunday at the Buffalo Christian Church alays accompanied by two sermons and a basket dinner - "dinner on the grounds." During the week classes were held.

One of the earliest records found of Barker's school at Buffalo Creek dates to May 22, 1866, when he gave a receipt to George D. and S. W. Williams for $5.87 paid in nine bushels of oats at 50 cents $1.37 in cash, on a bill of $18.50 tuition fees. This left a balance of $42.63 to be paid. The tuition fees were for George Taylor Williams - $7.50, Rhoda J. Williams - $7.50, Ira Anserson - $3.50 jis record on a very small piece of paper antedates the founding of Buffalo Male and Female Institute, which took place on Dec. 10, 1866.

After the 34th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee passed an act authorizing the chartering of Buffalo Male and Female Institute a movement was under way to build a school building.

A group of interested personsbegan to get subscribers - the original subscription list is dated June 7, 1867 - to finance a building program.

Brother Barker selected - the site of the new building - a two-story brick located on the top of the hill above the creek near or possibly on the same location of the present administration building. Near the institute building was built a tworoom house, which was later to become the home of Dr. Hopwood.

Barker taught and ran the Institute for several years. For a while he taught at Johnson City's Science Hill and Jonesboro's Martin Academy.

In 1882 he decided to give his full time to preaching. He had a two-year pastorate in Mexico, Mo. and a 10-year pastorate at Brunswick, Mo. This was followed by a short ministry ith the First Christian Church, Bristol, Va.

His last days were spent with one of his daughters, Mrs. Joshua ("George Dot") Williams who lived at the foot of campus. There he died in (no word followed). His body now rests in the East Hill Cemetery, Bristol, Tenn.

Barker was a Christian preacher for some 40 years. He was greatly interested in building the Church in Jonesboro, Tenn., (the first capitol of the State). Before the building was completed the funds were exhausted . So he made a tour through (can't read two words) western states , soliciting funds, taking with him a picture of the uncompleted building. He was sucessful in securing the necessary funds. The building was finished and dedicated and in use today.

One of his contemporaries said of him, "He was a lovable, consecrated, Christian character, gentle, refined and just in all his dealings. He was instructive and forceful as a gospel preacher. He had a happy, jovial disposition and always enjoyed a good anecdote, trying always to make people happy and hopeful."

Wilson married Sarah Glenn Lyon. Sarah was born in 1828 in Saltville, Virginia, USA and died in 1870 in Blountville, Sullivan County, Tennessee, USA at age 42.

General Notes:Col. James Madison Barker, U. C. V.

On February 25, 1928, there passed from earthly companionship, Col. James Madison Barker, a distinguished citizen of Tennessee and a gallant soldier of the Confederacy.

He was born December 30, 1847 near Bristol, Tenn., the son of Col. Joel Nevils Barker. His mother died when he was only seven years of age.

In 1863, at the early age of fifteen years, he left school to join the Confederate army, enlisting in the 12th Tennessee Battalion under command of Major Day, later serving under the gallant Capt. Decatur Bushong; and he was the last survivor of Company H, 31st Tennessee Regiment, Taylor's Brigade, Stevenson's Division.

Comrade Barker served with distinction throughout the war, taking part in many battles and skirmishes and was wounded twice. He came out of the war with the rank of captain, serving until the surrender of General Lee.

Following the war, he again entered school, later going to Bristol to make his hoime, where he identified himself with the business life of the city and became one of Tennessee's most prominent and leading business men, a man of large and varied business interests, accomplishing much in his own affairs and at the same time never failing in his duty to the public interest of his community and State.


He was especially interested in the advancement of education and religious affaris. He never sought office, but served twenty years on the city school board of education and fifteen years as president of it. He was appointed by Governor Patterson on the State Board of Education to locate the Normal Schools in Tennessee. He also served as mayor for three terms and president of Bristol's Board of Trade for a number of years.

He served on the staff of Gov. Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, and also on the Staffs of Generals Carr and Holderman, Commerders in Chief, U. C. V.

Retiring from active business life, he became interested in banking and at the time of his death was charman of the board of directors of the Dominion National Bank.

His fine intellect, remarkable memory, keen humor, and charming personality won for him many friends, for whom he had the sincerest appreciation and affection.

He was married on June 10, 1879, to Miss Margaret Kane, the daughter of Hon. Henry S. Kane, a noted jurist of Southwest Virginia. To this union five children were born, who survive him, with the devoted wife.

From early manhood Comrade Barker was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church, serving as deacon for forty-five years, and as teacher in the Sunday school until his health failed.

Always actively interested in the United Confederate Veterans, he erected a few years ago a huge memorial to the soldiers of the Confederacy, this being a gift to the Bristol Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and which stands on the green in front of the City Hall, a beautiful tribute to the cause for which he fought so gallantly and which was ever a hallowed and sacred memory to him.

His life was well worth the living, his death a loss.

Emily married George Washington Smith on Nov 20, 1873 in Knox, Knox County, Tennessee, USA. George was born on Mar 1, 1850 in Tennessee, USA and died on Apr 20, 1928 in Stoney, Denton County, Texas, USA at age 78.

General Notes:The first child of William H. and Ellen Myers Smith, George W. was born 1 Mar 1850 on a raft as the family was moving from Hawkins County, Tn to Hamilton County, TN, (probably down the Holston R). Along with them on the move were some Ellen Myers Smith's relatives. After about a year they moved back to Hawkins County, and George grew up there. His father was killed in the Civil War in 1865 when the boy was 15. The family lived 20 miles east of Rogersville.
The 1860 census said Lyon's Store;
1870 said New Canton, district 5; the 1880 said Church Hill, district 7.

After their father's death (and during the C.W.) George and his brothers, John Morgan and David Houston, helped their mother with the farm work while their younger sister, Lizzie, watched the 2 younger boys (William and James Frederick), and kept house.

Probably about 1872 George moved to Knox County, TN (about 83 miles SW from Church Hill); at least there was a land transaction in Hawkins ofrom George W. Smith to SS & Ellen Lyons in that year, and he was married in Knox Co in Nov. of 1873. He probably went there at the same time as a relative, Eldridge Hord Myers, although his mother and 2 younger brothers were still living in Hawkins Co TN on the 1880 census. He bought land in Knox Co between Beaver Ridge and Black Oak Ridge at Ball Camp, TN.

At Ball Camp in Knox Co. TN George met and married Emily Rebecca Barker on 14 of Dec in Knoxville. They were married by a J.P. named A. F. Smith, and a $1250 bond was signed by GW Smith and Wm. R. Barker. Emily Rebecca was born at Ball Camp, TN. (Knox Co) on 19 Nov. 1855 and was the daughter of Paul and Marinda Vicars Barker. The newly-weds lived at Ball Camp which is very near Oak Ridge where the atomic bomb was developed. According to George's daughter, Emily Elizabeth Greer, Ball Camp got its name from the minie-balls (from the Civil War) that were often turned up by the farmer's plows in that area...

George and Ellen were the last of the children of William H. to come to Texas. Uncle "Billy" (William) kept writing about his good crops in TX and telling them they should come to Denton Co where he was. So in Sept of 1900 they sold their land to Emily Rebecca's brother, William R Barker, and took the long train trip to Dallas where they were met by their relatives. The Texas cousins were impressed by the girl's beautiful skin, but Emily Elizabeth said "We didn't tell them we had been putting buttermilk on our faces for months to bleach our skin."

George arrived in TX with a family of 11 and two $20 bills in his pocket, and at first, he went to work as a harvest hand. He rented land for several years (near Argyll?), then bought 120 acres of land near Stoney on Denton Creek. It was poor land, but after 5 years he was doing better financially than when the family lived in TN.

Emily Rebecca was a Baptist and George W was a Methodist and all through their long married life she took the girls to her church and he took the boys to his. They farmed near Stoney and Ponder and lived across Denton Creek from "the old Duessen Farm", which was the site of the old Cristal School. It was later moved to Ponder and donated to the Ponder-Stoney Historical Society.

George was an honest, upright man and his faith in his religion sustained him through many of life's trials. They lost 2 babies in TN, one just before they left fot TX, and another one born prematurely in TX. Their eldest child contracted TB when she went to help with children and housekeeping in the home of an infected woman in Knox Co TN. She fought this until she died in TX at age 33. One daughter had an illigitimate child; one son ran away from home for many years because he thought he had killed a man in a fight over a card game (he didn't). Another young son did kill a man. On a Sunday afternoon he and others were sitting on a corral fence whittling and trading stories, when one of them started a fight with him inside the corral, was stuffing his mouth with manure so he couldn't breathe and he used the whittling knife on him. George loaded him on the wagon and took him in to the sheriff, who said it was self defense and let him go.

Farming was not always easy at one time there had been much rain and the Denton R. flooded, washing waay his crops on the best part of his land. He is said to have sat in his rocking chair on the front porch while watching the flood, and commenting philosophically that "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away". His second eldest daughter, Ella, for whatever reason, never married and stayed at home to help take care of her older sister who was ill; and remained with her parents until they died. She was a school teacher. These are family stories, not documented, but hopefully correct.

George W. died of the flu on 20 April 1928, at age 78, at his home near Ponder (Stoney). His wife was also ill with flu, and could hardly be heard when she wispered the names of the songs she wanted sung at his funeral which was held in their home in Stoney. He is buried in the old Jackson Cemetery in Krum, TX. Emily Rebecca died the next year in Mar 1929, age 73, and is buried in the same place. His death certificate is on file; hers is not.

General Notes:Elbert was raised near Mendota, VA in the North Holston River Valley. When still very young, a man named Rollins offered to give Elbert land high on Clinch mountain near the crest above Snowflake if Elbert would harvest the timber on it. According to Garland Barker and George Francisco, it was not a great deal of land and the soil was poor; it was a "sorry farm".

Shortly after he cleared the land and built a cabin, he married Carrie Evelyn Fuller who lived below Elbert's apple farm several miles east of Snowflake on Big Moccasin Creek near McConnell's Mill. (The old Fuller house and McConnell's Mill there still there today). Elbert was not considered to be a very good farmer at first. He was more respected as a stone mason. He did much of the stonework and brickwork for the Washington County Courthouse. Carrie died 8 years after they were married. She is buried in the Francisco Cemetery near the old Francisco farm house on the south side of Big Moccasin Creek. Elbert soon married Carrie's second cousin, Hannah McConnell.

Elbert's marriage to Hannah brought with it a much better farm on Moccasin Creek just east of Snowflake. Most of the new farm is on the north side of Big Moccasin Creek. According to George Francisco, it was a wedding present from her father, John Fugate McConnell. He gave two of his sons his own farm near Nickelsville and bought the new farm for Hannah especially as a wedding present and to "even up" his estate among all his children. According to Wayne G. McConnell, John Fugate McConnell moved his entire family except Hannah to Missouri - leaving one to assume that Carrie kept the abandoned farm. At any rate, Elbert's new wife and family farmed on much better land.

Elbert loved to "call" square dances. He sold fruit trees on horseback throughout the area as well.

Elbert married Carrie Evelyn Fuller on Dec 6, 1896 in Scott County, Virginia, USA. Carrie was born in Aug 1871 in McConnells Mill, Scott County, Virginia, USA and died in 1905 in Snowflake, Scott County, Virginia, USA at age 34.

General Notes:Mendota, Washington, Virginia, USA
By Peter Livingston Barker

Mendota is situated on the North Fork of Holston River, in the west end of Washington County, Virginia, about half way between Bristol and Gate City, opposite the noted Kinderhook Farm and immediately on the Southern Railway.

The excellent river-bottom lands at Mendota were patented by the Commonwealth to Thomas Kendrick, Wflliam Todd Livingston and others, and the home of Peter Livingston was but a short distance below Mendota at the time the noted half-breed Benge made his raid thereon in the year 1794, burning the homestead and carrying off the wife of Peter Livingston. After several days hot pursuit the Indians were overtaken, the savage Benge was killed at long range by Lieutenant Vincent Hobbs. Mrs. Livingston was struck with a tomahawk by an Indian and left for dead-the remaining Indians fleeing-but after being senseless about an hour was revived by the rescue party.

The river-bottom land opposite Mendota, some time previous to 1860, became the property of Adam Hickman, a native of Kinderhook, N. Y. Upon his acquisition of this property, he gave it the name of Kinderhook, and from this farm Kinderhook magisterial district derived its name.

The post office at this point was for many years Kinderhook, but the name was changed to Mendota by Henry C. Holley, who for many years was a merchant at the place.
Hamilton Institute was established at Mendota in the year, 1874. It drew a large, earnest and determined patronage from the Cumberlands on the north to the Blue Ridge Mountains on the south, and is said to have sent more Christian young men and women into the professional and common walks of life than any other institution of learning of its class in its wide territory.

As to the old settlers, it may be remarked that it was no ordinary people who pushed the frontiers back and settled this section. They were of the best stock that Virginia had to offer, and were as high-minded and far-seeing as they were brave and adventurous.

Mendota is the center of the glass sand industry in Virginia. It has one of the finest deposits of silica, used in the manufacture of glassware, pottery, etc., in the United States, said to be inexhaustible in quantity. While industrial development at present is in its infancy, the great number and variety of natural resources, the place being touched by a river and great trunk line railway, it is destined to increase greatly. At present there is considerable prospecting for oil and gas in this vicinity. The town has two flour mills, plAning and lumber mills, five stores, and is served by a highpowered electric line, the East Tennessee Light and Power Company, a subsidiary of Cities Service.

The Blue Grass Trail, State Highway No.42, has lately been constructed into the town.

General Notes:Down at the Mill
The Barker Mill, commonly known as the Mill dam, was owned and operated by Francis Barker until his death. Upon his death, his son, Hendricks Barker, operated this business.
The mill had two large turbines that were used to grind corn, wheat and other seeds for household use or as cattle feed. Townspeople harvested their crops in the fall and took them to Mr. Barker to have the grains ground to suit their purpose. The operation also housed a saw mill that was used daily. The Mendota people would cut their own trees and take them to Mr. Barker to be split or sawed into wood suitable for barns, houses, wagons
and even furniture.

After the death of Hendricks Barker in 1945, the mill, still in operating order, was closed. In the 1950's the dam was washed out during a flood.

After several days hot pursuit the Indians were overtaken, the savage Benge was killed at long range by Lieutenant Vincent Hobbs. Mrs. Livingston was struck with a tomahawk by an Indian and left for dead-the remaining Indians fleeing-but after being senseless about an hour was revived by the rescue party.

The river-bottom land opposite Mendota, some time previous to 1860, became the property of Adam Hickman, a native of Kinderhook, N. Y. Upon his acquisition of this property, he gave it the name of Kinderhook, and from this farm Kinderhook magisterial district derived its name.

The post office at this point was for many years Kinderhook, but the name was changed to Mendota by Henry C. Holley, who for many years was a merchant at the place.
Hamilton Institute was established at Mendota in the year, 1874. It drew a large, earnest and determined patronage from the Cumberlands on the north to the Blue Ridge Mountains on the south, and is said to have sent more Christian young men and women into the professional and common walks of life than any other institution of learning of its class in its wide territory.

As to the old settlers, it may be remarked that it was no ordinary people who pushed the frontiers back and settled this section. They were of the best stock that Virginia had to offer, and were as high-minded and far-seeing as they were brave and adventurous.

Mendota is the center of the glass sand industry in Virginia. It has one of the finest deposits of silica, used in the manufacture of glassware, pottery, etc., in the United States, said to be inexhaustible in quantity. While industrial development at present is in its infancy, the great number and variety of natural resources, the place being touched by a river and great trunk line railway, it is destined to increase greatly. At present there is considerable prospecting for oil and gas in this vicinity. The town has two flour mills, plAning and lumber mills, five stores, and is served by a highpowered electric line, the East Tennessee Light and Power Company, a subsidiary of Cities Service.

The Blue Grass Trail, State Highway No.42, has lately been constructed into the town.

Rachel married William James Glen Myers Miller on Dec 17, 1885. William was born on Jun 1, 1861 and died on Oct 6, 1945 in Washington County, Virginia, USA at age 84.

General Notes:Notes from Roger Miller: William James Glen Myres Miller was a hard worker and built his own house in 1887 on property his wife Rachel inherited from her parents that is now across from the Valley Institute Elementary School on the Gate City Highway neat Bristol, Virginia. Jessie H. Miller in his diary said that on "April 15, 1883 my son W.J.G.M. Miller joined the Lutheran Church thanks to God." Jessie H. Miller built the chimney in the center of the original house with a fireplace in each of the two rooms. The roof was wide and covered a
porch on two sides and the back of the house.

About 1930 the road in front of the house was abandoned and a new one built on the other side, so that the porch is now in the front of the house. Glen Miller was primarily a builder, but his farm stretched about 250 acres along a valley and had, around the house, a tobacco barn with 5 or 10 stanchilons for milking cows, a garage with an enclosed corn crib, an equipment shed, a poultry building, a smaller shed for baby chicks and a woodshed.

Down-hill from the house was a spring house that at one time had a hydraulic ram pump. The old road that passed in front of the house before 1930 forded a stream down 100 yards to the right. On the other side was a one room school house which Glen Miller and Rachel Deck attended as children. A share cropper farmed the land, giving perhaps a third of the corn and a quarter of the tobacco payment to the Miller's. Glen and Rachel raised their family in the house Maurice Miller later bought and passed down to his grandson.

Rachel Deck was a fine God fearing Lutheran mother. She taught her children well. Glen and Rachel and family attended church regularly at Marys Chapel Church. Everyone liked the Glen Miller family. Rachel died from an illness (erysipelas) and it was rather quickly. Glen Miller was out in the woodshed in the morning when Maurice arrived, and told him not to disturb his mother, that she had been up sick all night; but Maurice went in and discovered that she had died. Her death was a real blow to Glen and the family especially Harold Miller who was living in Florida and was not able to see her before she died. Glen Miller was never really happy after Rachel died. Glen later married Hannah Luchini (born about 1870 and died 1961) for companionship. Hannah died in 1961. William James Glen Myres Miller, known as Glen Miller, died October 6, 1945.
