Life

John Calhoun Barker, called Jack in the FamilySearch tree and J. C. Barker in most records, was born on 11 October 1808 in Edgefield County, South Carolina, according to the tree, which cites no source for the date.1 He married Frances Willingham, a daughter of Alban W. Willingham, in Chambers County, Alabama; the marriage indexes give 29 December 1838 and 8 January 1839, with two entries for 8 January 1838.2 Inference The likeliest reading is a licence of 29 December 1838 and a marriage on 8 January 1839.2 The federal census of 1850 recorded J. C. Barker in District 28 of Benton County, Alabama, and that of 1860 John C. Barker in Township 15, Range 11, Calhoun County.3 The tree names twelve children of the marriage, born between 1839 and 1860.4 He is named as the father in the marriage records of his daughter Elizabeth M. Barker to W. R. Hogan on 25 November 1869 and of his son Thomas J. Barker to Maria Edwards on 6 January 1881.5 Frances died in April 1871, and on 7 November 1872 J. C. Barker married again, in Cleburne County, Alabama; the marriage indexes name the bride Elizabeth Horton, while the tree calls her Elizabeth Norton.6 The census of 1880 recorded John C. Barker in the Court House beat of Cleburne County.7 He died in Cleburne County on 29 June 1882 and, according to the tree, was buried "On Homestead", on his own land; the tree also gives his occupation as farmer, without a source.8 Images from Edgefield County, South Carolina, deed books of 1834 to 1839 and guardianship records, found by a search for the name James P. Barker, and from Calhoun County probate estate files of 1839 to 1855, are attached to his profile; their citations do not say how they bear on him.9
