History of Joseph Harker
"My father was the son of Amos Harker, who, after the death
of his first wife, Mrs. Gilbert of Pointon, by whom he had six
children, he married Mary Wade of Pointon who had three children
by him. The names of the children of the first wife are as follows,
viz; John, Amos, William, Jane, Frances, and Elizabeth, the last
three died soon after they immerged into womanhood, and before
marrying. Jane Harker was afterwards born, and married John Woods
of Frankton, and raised six sons and five daughters. Those of
the second wife are the following, viz; Thomas, Elizabeth Ann,
and Mary. Thomas was killed in the battle of Waterloo, Elizabeth
Ann married John Bailey of Holbech. Mary married John Green of
Withamon the Hill, they had a large family of children. My grandfather,
Amos Harker moved from Einton, Lincolnshire to Pointon as farmer
______ to Mrs. Gilbert whom he afterwards married."

--Is it possible that Joseph has combined the two families of
Elizabeth Lenton as he did with Mary Wade? (Thomas Wade was 9
years old when Amos married his mother). Frances Gilbert died
at the age of 30, unmarried. I have no Christenings for Frances
Harker.

Footnotes
1 The
calendar year during this time period was from Lady Day, March
25th
2 Although
the burial of this Elizabeth Harker is generally regarded as
the mother Elizabeth , I believe this is the death of a daughter,
Elizabeth Harker as there is an infant named Jane buried in 1783,
followed by the burial of another Elizabeth Harker in 1784. If
Elizabeth the mother had died in April of 1781, Jane, who would
have been born prior to that date, would no longer have been
an infant two years and 4 months later.
