Individual Details

The descendants of Pioneer Settler Lt. Moses Barker are joining with Italy Community residents to honor this Revolutionary War Hero. On October 16th 2000, a government stone will be dedicated at the grave of Lt. Barker in Barker Naples Cemetery. Moses Barker, his wife Lydia Gutterman Barker, and nine children, came by two wheeled ox cart from Massachusetts to Italy Hill. He cleared the land, hewed logs, built buildings, and made a living for his family, which increased to thirteen. The eighth child of Moses and Lydia was Elisha, born January 15, 1777. In 1814 Elisha settled on Lot 63, South Survey, Town of Italy. He built a sawmill and provided lumber and land to build a school house. He also provided the material to build the first church here, and set aside the land for the Barker Cemetery. This area was then known as "The Barker Settlement".
