The History of Genesee County{\1289} lists Josiah first in order of the children of Crawford and Sarah Barkley. If he was, indeed, their first born, then his birthyear would be estimated to be 1839, considering the approximate 2 year intervals between births of his siblings. It is assumed that the Josiah Barkley, age 41 (born ~1839), appearing in 1880 in Thetford1288, living next door to (who would have been) Josiah Barkley's sister Frances (Barkley) Woolfitt1289 and her husband Eber is the son of Crawford and Sarah Barkley. As additional corroboration1288, Josiah and Caroline have a son named Eber.
Mary's birthdate is calculated1520 from her age at death: 26y 4m, 24d. Her death record also lists her birthplace (Conn) and her parents names.
