In Oct 1711 John Barker of St Ann's parish gives to his kinsmen, Daniel and John Diskins each a heifer. The boys were grandsons of the first Daniel, and would have been in their early teens. The deed of gift was signed by John and Penelope Barker. I am trying to figure out who this Penelope may have been, and how related to these boys. The mother of the two Diskins boys was Joanna Barker.;
