The Barker Family of Princeton-Gobles:

Refer to links at the left for connections to other family charts I am working on that are directly related to our Barker family.

 

     John Barker Sr. was born in Binnington Yorkshire, England and immigrated to Canada via 'cattle boat' along with his brother, Thomas in 1856 or 57. A younger sister Rachel came to Canada in 1890 with her family, the Woodalls.

After arriving in Canada John and Thomas took up residence in the "Little York" area (Toronto). Little York of course has been swallowed up whole by the present-day city of Toronto. The exact location of this village is the corner of Danforth and Main Street of Toronto. The Barker's soon found themselves farming in the Erindale / Brampton area (north-west of Toronto) where Thomas and John later were married at St. Peter's Anglican Church, Erindale.

     John and Rose Barker had three of their children; William, Sarah and John while still living in the Toronto area but between 1863 and 1865 they moved to the Brant-Oxford County area and rented a farm near Gobles; Lot 17, Concession I, Burford Township.  Their youngest daughter, Esther was born while in the Gobles area.

     It is here that Grandpa (Luther) tells that Great-Great-Grandpa John Barker (Bar5.6) had to "pick peas" to pay the rent.  

     Up until her death, old Hannah Barker (Hannah Ashwell) wrote letters to her children who had gone across the 'pond' to North America, and occasionally the Beamers (Rose’s sister’s family) and Thomas Barker's family of Erindale, got to visit John and Rose Barker of Burford Township. However, like always, it seems like the only times when families actually get together is for weddings and funerals.

 

The following is what John Barker Jr. (BAR4.3) wrote about the funeral of his mother Rose:

 

Those present at the funeral, May 6th 1916 were –

James Packham, George Packham, Fred Packham and Esther Beamer (siblings of Rose); Rosamond Beamer (dau of Esther), Philip Beamer (son of Esther), Rose Palmerston (dau. of Esther), Albert Barker (son of Thomas Barker), Kate Curran (dau. of Thomas Barker), James Woodall (son of Rachel Woodall). They had to borrow the carriage of J. Stephenson (General Store keeper) of Cathcart for the family to ride in.

 

John and Rose Barker eventually bought a two hundred-acre farm (Lot 10, Concession 2, Burford Township) in 1878. Sarah Barker married John Brooks of Woodbury and John Barker Jr. (Bar4.3) married Margaret Eliza Lamont of Blandford Township and Esther Rachel married Almond P. Disher of Tansley, William remained single and owned many properties in the Town of Paris Ont., where he lived.
