Biography

Updated 11 January 2025 to remove hijacked link [stupakgen] and update data.

Elizabeth (Barker, Baker or Darker) was born probably around 1628 in England, and died in 1698 in Rowley, Massachusetts. She was perhaps the daughter of ___ Barker and the sister of James Barker of Rowley, but the relationship is not proven. George Kilbourne was called "my brother" in James Barker's will, which could have referred to them being "brother's in law"; daughter Mary Kilbourne married his son Nathaniel Barker.

She married

1. George Kilbourne was born before 1619 in England, and died 14 Oct  1685 in Rowley (Essex) Massachusetts

NOTE: His link to Thomas Kilbourne is questionable; Jacobus says George is not included in Thomas’ will, and therefore questions whether he was a son of Thomas. It is possible that our Kilbourne line stops here with George.. George married in Rowley, not England.

4. https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Mary_Kilbourne_%2811%29 Helliwell makes a convincing argument that Mary, dau. of George Kilbourne, married Nathaniel Barker of Rowley.S1 Regrettably, proof of this is not sufficient to make it conclusive. However, Helliwell clearly establishes that Mary Kilbourne did not marry Nathaniel Chapman as many secondary sources conclude.
