William BARKES, b. abt. 1820 in OH, d. aft. 1863
Seeking information about William BARKES, who (1) was born in about 1820 in OH; (2) married Mrs. Margaret BURK/BURKE on September 19, 1840 in Belmont County, OH; and (3) died between 1863 and 1870.
William is listed as William BARCUSS in the 1850 census of District 33, Marshall County, VA. William is listed there as a laborer who was then 29 years of age, and who was born in OH.
William is listed as William BARKS in the 1856 IA state census of Shoal Township, Appanoose County, IA. William is listed there as a farmer who was then 35 years of age, and who was born in OH. Also, according to the 1856 IA state census, he had then been in IA for one year.
William is listed as William BARKUS is the 1860 census of Franklin Township, Appanoose County, IA. William is listed there as a farmer who was then 40 years of age, and who was born in OH.
William apparently died sometime between about 1863 (when his last known child was born) and 1870 (when his widow, Margaret BARKES, was listed as the head of the household in the 1870 census of Pleasant Township, Appanoose County, IA).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
