Historical Notes:
(1) John Barker, son of John the emigrant, was born prior to 1636, as shown by his having patented 600 acres on Chippokee Creek, on October 5th, 1657. Thus being of age at the time. His wife's name was Grace, thought to have been the daughter of Thomas Busby and granddaughter of Francis and Grace Grey. This Thomas Busby may have been the same known as "Bacon's Lieutenant" who with John Barker and others in Bacon's Rebellion took over the home of Arthur Allen, later called "Bacon's Castle," and who on November 15th, 1677 agreed to pay Allen for damage done to his home.
John Barker's will was probated in Surrey County, on May 19th, 1714.

Historical Notes:
(1) John Barker was an English Sea Captain, and an early settler of Virginia.
Arriving in 1635 he settled in Chippokee Creek, then in James City County,
Virginia, later Southwark Parish, Surry County Virginia. He lived in this area
until 1678 when he moved to Martin's Brandon, Charles City County, where he
died in 1689.His first wife whose name is thought to be Letitia, was the mother of his
three sons, all apparently born in England. They all came to America with their
father and lived in Surrey County, Virginia.John Barker, was "Master of the good ship Abraham he set sail from London
with 51 passangers aboard, on November 20th, 1635. John Barker patented 300
acres on the very head of the main branch of Lower Chippokee Creek on November
29th, 1649, for transporting six settlers to Virginia. (Ref: Cavaliers and
Pioneers. Nugent, page 187. Sue to the destruction of the early James City
records, nothing more is known of John until the creation of Surry County, on
the South side of the James River, from and across from James City, in 1652.John Barker added to his holdings on Chippokee Creek when he bought a
"plantation" thereon from Theoderick Bland of John Bland and Company, on
January 9th, 1653 for 10,000 pounds of tobacco. (Ref: Southside Virginia
Families, Boddie, page 30.) He later patented 1800 acres on Chippokee on
December 18th, 1662, where he had his home until August 10th, 1678, when he
sold this land to Benjamin Harrison for 16,000 pounds of tobacco and moved to
Martin's Brandon, Charles City County.John married his second wife, Ann, widow of George Marshall of Martin's
Brandon, between 9th March 1672, and 2nd September 1673 when "John Barker,
Sen." and wife Ann, deeded 75 acres on Chippokee Creek to "John Barker, the
Younger." (Surry Deeds, 1671-1684, page 32.) This deed recites that Ann was
Marshall's Widow, who John had married, and the two were residents of Southwark
Parish and that the land had been bequeathed to Ann by Marshall.On March 3rd, 1674, "John Barker, Junior." reconveyed the 75 acres to John
Barker, Sr. in the latter's sale name - not to John and Ann as Boddie says. In
this deed John, Jr. referred to "Mrs. Ann Barker, Mother in law to me."
(Step-mother.)John Barker died in Martin's Brandon leaving a will in Charles City County
which was destroyed with all others of the time. This is shown by an order of
the Charles City Court of 5 January, 1690, which order recorded that John Good
had married Ann (Marshall) Barker, and he, apparently as representative of his
wife Ann, executrix, was ordered to pay Joel Barker, son of John 8,000 pounds
of tobacco bequeathed to Joel by his father. The order also directed that upon
this payment Joel and Jethro, sons of John were to sign a "sufficent
discharge," to Good. (Ref: O.B. 1687-1695, page 323.It is not known when Joel Barker died nor whom he married, but the names
of his children, some if not all, are known. John Barker, son of Joel
bequeathed a plantation to his sister Mary, with reversion to brother Joshua,
on Mary's death. John's will was dated 11 April 1736, and probated September
1740. Between these two dates his sister Mary married James Bishop and John's
will was presented to her under the name Mary Bishop, (Surry: 1738-1754, page
211.) James and Mary (Barker) Bishop had a son James Bishop Jr, who went to
North Carolina and some of his descendants went to Hamilton County Indians with
their Barker cousins around 1835. Descendants of these Bishops, of that name
now live in Hamilton County.Jethro Barker, son of John the emigrant, was born prior to 1657, this is
shown by his being witness of deed of his father to Benjamin Harrison, 10
August 1678. His wife's name was Mary but her surname is not known. Jethro's
will, probated in Surry County, March 15th, 1748 names his sons John, Jethro,
George, Henry and Jehu, and daughters Jane Field, and Mary Andross (Andrews),
and grand children Agnes, Mary and Elisabeth, daughters of son George, and
Sarah, daughter of son Jehu. (W.B. 1738-1754, page 567.) An elaborate
history of Jethro's descendants is provided in Boddie's Southside Virginia
Families, vol. 2.The descendants of John Barker, Sr. moved westward to North Carolina,
West Virginia, and other points.
