Notes
Updated February 1, 2023. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):(1) William Richard Cutter, William Frederick Adams, "Genealogical and personal memoirs relating to the families of the state of Massachusetts, Volume 4," Lewis historical publishing company, 1910. Page 2512
"Robert (2), son of Robert (1) BARKER, was born in Duxbury, February 27, 1650-51, and died September 25, 1729. He was married (first) Alice ----, by whom he had eight children, and (second), October 7, 1705, Phebe MARSH, widow of Jonathan MARSH, of Jamestown, Rhode Island. He began his career as a soldier, and was made a lieutenant under Major James CUDWORTH, October 4, 1675, but during King Philip's war he abruptly terminated his connection, it is thought because he had become convinced of Quaker principles. He early utilized the water power of a brook, owning a saw mill there. Farming and blacksmithing to some extent also occupied his later years, and he held the office of constable in 1685 and surveyor in 1687."
