This week we take a look at the lineage of the Barkley surname as it pertains to my family’s history.
Earliest Known Ancestor
Henry Moses Barkley, my 5th great grandfather, was born 1772 in Tyrone County, Ireland. He married Zelpeh Moore in Lewistown, Pennsylvania sometime around 1810. He died 24 Apr 1857, presumably in Jasper, Indiana.

From my new notes…
“Aug 23rd was the 100th anniversary of my grandmother (Agnes [Barkley] Cole’s) birthday. I always admired her for her strength and contagious laugh and I miss her to this day. I often called her on (call day) Sunday when I called my far away family and she loved hearing from her grandson. She always had a cheery greeting and something positive to say. It’s been twenty years since I heard that laugh in person but it still rings in my ears when I think of her.”
I appreciate so much that you are adding tidbits about the relatives you personally knew, DaD! I was too young to remember great-grandmother Agnes. It sounds like she was a wonderful woman. Thanks for sharing!
