Biography
Joseph Barkman was about 10 years old when he moved with his family from Washington County, Maryland to southern Bedford County in about 1802. In 1810 Joseph's family was living in Southampton Twp., Bedford County, PA[1].
. . . after leaving the parental roof he removed to Monroe township, where
he was engaged in farming until his death. He was a self-made man, and was
everywhere respected for his sterling integrity. He was an old-time Dem
[201]ocrat in his political views and affiliations, and for a number of years served his fellow-townsmen as Constable[2].
