Scot Barker and Molly Sages descendents

Question

Does anybody have information on Scot Barker and Molly Sages children?  I am trying to confirm that William Barker (7/3/1866) was their son.

Comments

Do you have any location:  Country  > Province/Region/State  > city, town relating to b, m, or d?

Grayson County Virginia.  Scott:  1860'-1909?  Molly Sage:  1863-1899

What I do know is William Burley Barker 09/10/1887-11/31/1975 - I believe I have a strong trace back to Scott and Molly but would like to confirm.

 

Thank you so much.

Answer 1

I found a Willie b. Sept. 1887 to Scott and Mollie.  On some records Mollie is Mary E. (common nickname for Mary) Dau. of this couple is Mary Ellen or Polly Ellen ( Pollie another common nickname for Mary) .  There is another son b. 1886 unnamed.  Polly/Mary and Luther were b. 1891 and 1893. Didn't find a birth reference for Scott (jr.)  b. 1896.   In 1900  Scott Barker  has a very young wife, unless it's a typo, named Nora.

The childrens birth records are from Fallville and Elk Creek, you might want to write to those town clerks and see if you can obtain actual copies which might contain details not shown on the web. The web doesn't list the mother's maiden name, just Mary or Mollie.
