On this date in our family history . . . the 17th day of November . . . in the year 1899 . . . Jerusha Marilla Smith nee Barker dies in Maine. This Jerusha is the paternal grandma of Elizabeth Marilla Henry nee Smith (1912-1932), who is the maternal grandma of the Keeper of this geneablog. Jerusha is a daughter of Timothy Barker and Jerusha Lakin Hobbs. At the age of 16 she became the bride of Atwood F. Smith on 23 December 1857 in Biddeford, York County, Maine. It appears they had two children who died before 1865, and then a 3rd child born in 1866 -- Thomas Warren Alonzo Smith (1866-1920), who is the father of Elizabeth. her findagrave memorial page

Vickie,
My immigrant Barker was Thomas. He was born September 1, 1806, at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. He married Elizabeth Thompson in 1825 and on 28 Jul 1869 they sailed from Liverpool on ship "Colorado" and arrived at New York Harbor on August 10. From there they went to Idaho. Who knows, maybe we hook up somewhere.
