An excerpt from a letter written by Annelia to a man gathering information on early the Californian's: Roseville, California March 1, 1926. "My name is Annelia Elizabeth Barter Latyon. I was born March 5, 1852 in Posey County Indiana; crossed the plains in a covered wagon with my father and mother William and Catherine Barter both deceased now. We reached Placerville (Hangtown then) early in the fall of 1853. Stewarts Flan, a live mining town, was our first home and there two years later my mother died. Placer County has always been home to my father and to the Layton family whose youngest son and I married in 1867. My husband died in 1914. Any information or questions that I can answer, I will personally or otherwise. Yours very truly, Mrs Annelia Elizabeth Layton Roseville, Calif.”

William was a blacksmith, having learned the trade from his father who had an apprentice staff of 16. He and his wife left Indiana early in 1853, joined a wagon train made up at St. Louis, MO., and arrived in Hangtown (Placerville), California, in September 1853. The covered wagon in which they traveled to California was made entirely in the blacksmith shop of the pioneer's father, William Barter. A news clipping of a Mt. Vernon, Indiana paper of 1931 stated: "For the first time in one hundred years, Mt. Vernon is without a Barter blacksmith shop." The pioneer's daughter, Annelia, recalls hearing her mother tell of her fright on the way across the plains when a squaw rode up on her horse and picked up the baby, then a year old. The squaw road away again and soon returned with a pair of beaded moccasins that she fitted on the baby's feet. Their trip was not marked with troubles with the Indians, as were the pioneer trains before them and the next train after them.
