EBENEZER BARKER.
Richard1 Barker and Joanna, his wife, emigrated from England to this country, and settled in Andover, Mass., as early as 1643. In a list of names purporting to be the names of all the freeholders, as they came to the town of Andover, found in the earliest book of the town records (now existing), Richard Barker's name is the fourth. He was one of the ten freeholders (required by law to con- stitute a church) who organized the church at Andover (now North Andover), Oct. 24, 1645. Hardly any town affair of importance, for fifty years, is on the records of the town which does not bear his name as party or witness thereto. He was prominent in church
