Barker Wells
b. 1772, married Ana Herrick in Brooklyn, Connecticut 1794. Barker Wells died 4 June 1838 in Springboro, PA and his buried next to his wife Ana ( also spelled Anna or Ann ). His father may have been Barker Wells or James Wells. The tombstone shows "son of James and Eunice". Barker and Ana had at least one daughter Lyta Wells (Bowman) b. 1811 in NY. I believe they also had a son, Henry Wells b. 1801 in NY. Would like to prove this connection between Barker and Henry Wells and find Barker's place of birth.

Betsy Wells
My g grandmother's name was Betsy Wells born about 1857 in Peterborough, England. On the 1881 Census she was 24 & living at South Street, Liveredge. She was married to James Walker born about 1844, maybe James had died as his name wasn't on the 1881 Census and named Betsy as head.
Their children were: I hope that someone knows of this family and will be able to help me get a little further in my family tree.
