Notes:

John Barter and his wife, Mary Foote came to the States in 1819 with their son Richard Foote Barter. My husband's family traces it's Barter roots from John Barter/Mary Foot through their son William. William married Elizabeth Downen. Their son William II Married Catherine Conrad (Coonrad?) they had one child Annelia Who was born in Posey Co.in 1852. William and Catherine left In. to go to California with the wagon trains in 1853. Annelia married a Layton in Calif. There is no Louis in this branch of the family. I am curious as to the source of your information on John Barter and Mary Foote. I have no documentation on them. I know that the family trade was blacksmith and that the wagon they used to get to Calif was made in their shop in Indiana.

Notes:

FROM ANCESTRY.COM---
Was the daughter of an English surgeon and, in the land of titles and snobbery, where society was so divided by status, this unequal union can be accounted for only on the theory that John Barter was the only available young man in all the country, who had sufficient nerve to tackle the fiery and untamed Mary Foote. As a grown mother she was known to be extremely dressy, handsome, proud and exacting, frequently carrying this latter characteristic to the extent of boxing her son Richard's ears long after he was a husband and father, and it is said to have been a touching exhibition of filia obedience to see the great six-footer; who feared no man, stand up and submissivley receive the punishment inflicted by his mother, while tears coursed down his stern cheeks.
