Thank you for the response, I can't believe I read that wrong. I'll take a look at the Barnes information you've provided, and hopefully that will lead to some answers.
Joseph C Rooker was my 3rd great grandfather, and my grandmother left me a newspaper clipping from his 50th wedding anniversary. In the article, his birth date is listed as January 6th, 1821, and that was what I used as my reference. I've seen 1822 in other locations, like his headstone, but went with the article written while hwas was still living.
I've only been on WikiTree for a couple of months, so I'm adding as I go along. I've been working on the Rooker family, and I do have record of his second wife, Minerva Taig. Just haven't gotten everyone keyed in yet.
I'm still learning how WikiTree works, but so far I love it. The collaboration and assistance has already been amazing, and I truly appreciate the specific details you've provided.
Thank you,
Krista
