Weekend Recap: A Rebel with a Paintbrush
A late weekend recap is better than not one at all! Friday after work, I bailed on the gym because I had a ton of errands to run. One of my stops was Ulta. The annual "Vice" makeup pallet by Urban Decay had just gone on sale so I of course had to scoop one up and I am super pleased with it. It is much better than last years and it came with a travel bag. I absolutely love the color selections.
My errands took a few hours so once I was home, I made dinner, sipped on a little champagne, and did some work on my book. I rented "Blended" from Redbox and put it on when I got into bed. I fell asleep after 20 minutes; I was not into it. I was kind of disappointed actually.
Saturday I spent most of the morning being lazy, but the weather was beautiful so I decided to make the most of it. We had a week of nonstop rain and gloom so I knew I wanted to incorporate sunshine into my workout. I walked to the gym for weights then jogged on the greenway.
After my workout, I came home to take a shower and get ready. I decided to do a grey smokey eye with my new makeup pallet and I loved the outcome. I thought it was sexy!
I spent the evening uptown with my best friend Kelly and her boyfriend Drew. We started at a Mexican restaurant called "La Paz" for Margarita's and painting.
The painting of the evening was a tree in front of a sunset. I did a painting similar about a month ago so I felt like being a rebel. Thus my painting was a the silhouette of a serial killer, ha ha. The instructors were not amused. It represents my state of mind lately, kidding! Drew and Kelly's are below mine; their paintings were very good!
Once we finished painting, we had a lovely dinner on the patio, listened to live music, enjoyed a few more drinks, and soaked up the amazing view.
The night was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I did not sleep at all. One of those nights again. That resulted in me taking it easy on Sunday; but I did get my usual food prep and cleaning done. That is about all I accomplished though.
Pleasant Summer Over.......

I love Tasha Tudor's illustrations. This one seemed very fitting for the season and the accompanying poem.

I don't know if we are going to have a very colorful autumn. The leaves are already falling, we will have to savor what we get!
Geese in the pond is always a sure sign fall is here.
The Barkers of Barker's Bridge -- Part II
 |
| Samuel Barker's property and neighbors (courtesy W. Chiquoine) |
For some reason, when the rest of the Barker sons moved west to Pittsburgh, these two stayed behind. The histories specifically state that William never married, and there is no mention of a wife or children for Abraham, either. It is stated that William, like several of his brothers, served in the Revolutionary War, and fought at the Battle of Brandywine, among other places. It's not known (at least as far as I know) where any of the early Barker homes were located, or if any survived much longer than their residents. However, one house did outlast the family who built it, only to be lost not many years ago.
Above are photos of the house that once stood on the north side of Lancaster Pike, just a few hundred feet west of Hercules Road. It was photographed and surveyed in the late 1980's, just a few short years before it was razed in about 1990. It was a two-story frame dwelling, built in at least three stages. The original section was the three-bay portion to the right (east) side of the picture, with a later addition on the left, and another in the rear. The 1980's DelDOT report reached the conclusion that the original house was built around 1800, which would put it in proximity with the passing of the property from Samuel to William and Abraham. While this may very well be accurate, there are a few points which, in my mind, cast a bit of doubt on this conclusion.
If the house did date from about 1800, that would likely make one or both of the sons its builder(s). Samuel would have been about 80 years old, so I think it's unlikely that he would have built a new house then. However, this DelDOT report mentions that a former tenant of the house stated that its oldest section was actually built of logs. While log houses were fairly common in the area in the "frontier" days of the 17th and 18th Centuries, by the early 1800's they were becoming less common. The Barkers, as we've seen, had been in the area for over a century by then and seemed to have been at least somewhat prosperous. I have trouble believing that one or both of these adult sons would have built a log home for themselves at that time.

| Rear of the Barker House |
My own feeling is that the log section well pre-dated 1800, having been constructed either as an earlier Barker homestead, or perhaps as a tenant house. Then, perhaps soon after Samuel's death in 1803, William greatly enlarged the small log house with the larger frame addition around it. This would not be that unusual, and there have been other homes in the area that have been found to have logs at their core.
Regardless of who built the house, we do know who lived there for at least the better part of four decades. As Runk tells us, just a few years after Samuel's passing, Abraham died as well, his death the result of a kick from a horse. There is no mention of his ever marrying. What is really interesting about this era is what the sons and probably the father had been doing on their property, and what William seems to have continued to do, possibly right up until his own death.
While the house sat on the north side of the road, to the south stood a saw mill. Abraham and William are listed as co-owners of a saw mill in the 1804 county tax assessment, so we know it operating by at least then. Recently, Walt Chiquoine found a later document (dating from the time of William's death in 1847) that specified the location of the mill and of the race leading to it. The filing for the document was also connected to Samuel, so there is reason to believe that the mill dates back to his era. And since the saw mill was operating by the time the house is thought to have been built, I think it's pretty logical to assume that the brothers Barker cut the boards for the house themselves.
Walt's discovery of the mill information is significant, because in every history I've come across the exact location of the mill and race were unknown. As you can see in the illustration above, the dam was located directly across from Hercules Road, near where where the Red Clay begins its short northward course along the large oxbow. The race heads generally southeast, across Lancaster Pike, to the saw mill site on what would later become the Hercules property. This course is corroborated by a note from the minutes of the Wilmington Turnpike Company in the 1830's, which mentions a bridge over Barker's race.
Barker is noted as owning a saw mill in the 1832 McLane Report, so we know he was still operating then. William's probate records from 1847 include "large numbers of posts, rails, timbers, saws, chains, and other items", all of which seem to indicate that he was either still running the mill or at least had done so recently. After William Barker's death, his property was sold at auction to Richard Smithurst, who sold the property again in 1857. On the 1849 map (seen below), the Barker House is shown, but without an owner's name. Smithurst (actually Smithers, but close enough) is noted on the southern portion in the house (or at least the location of the house) later occupied by the Hulett family. Neither the saw mill nor the race is shown, so I think it's logical to assume that it went away along with the last of the Barkers. Or was he the last of the Barkers in the area?

You get extra points if you recall that early this year there was a short post dealing with another Barker -- Joshua B. Barker (1811-1891). He lived on the east side of Barley Mill Road, north of William's tract, and can also be seen on the 1849 map above. At first I was unable to place Joshua within the family, and unable to believe that it was a coincidence that he lived so close to the others. I'm still not completely sure of his pedigree, but these two ancestry pages (here and here) make an interesting case that Joshua was actually the son of William Barker and Sarah Bishop. I've not seen the original documents myself, but it's claimed that he was an executor of both of their wills, and was named as the only son in both.
This is interesting for two reasons. First, Runk states explicitly that William never married. From what I understand, the information that Runk relates was usually gathered directly from the families themselves. It was only published about 50 years after William's death, so if he was indeed married, did the family forget or did they "try to forget"? Secondly, who was Sarah Bishop? If she was married to William, did she then remarry to a Bishop? There is actually some reason to think she may have been the daughter of John Bishop, whose house sat near Joshua Barker's, and from whom Joshua may have purchased his land. If this was the case, did Sarah revert to her maiden name? I believe that would have been quite unusual for the time, and might indicate that her and William's marriage may have been short and not so sweet. That could explain why all involved wanted to pretend it never happened.
However the Barkers' story ended in Mill Creek Hundred, they certainly had an interesting run here. Their glory days are long past, but they definitely deserve to be remembered.
My Weekly Nutrition and Training Plan
The below nutrition plan is what I eat Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday during the day I still eat clean but will eat whatever is left over or what I have around my apartment. Two nights a week I have "treat" meals - whatever I choose. They are usually Saturday and Sunday night, but it does vary. I switch up my eating every week. I plan the week before what I want to have for meals, make the grocery list, and prep the food on Sunday's. A lot of times people will ask me if I get bored eating the same thing everyday. The answer is no. It is only 5 days a week that I eat the same thing. I eat to live - not live to eat. It took me a long time to come to that. I also do this to save money. I live alone so I can't really cook tons of different things during the week because it's too expensive and will go bad. There are also ways you can switch up your eating day to day. Like my Quest Bars for instance; I eat a different flavor everyday, same with my yogurt. You can read here for meal prep ideas!

Back in February, I wrote about my "at home" workout that I created since I was snowed in for two days and could not go to the gym. I call this "The Hot Mess Express". I create a playlist on my Iphone that is 35 minutes long and blast it on my Bluetooth speaker while I exercise. It's about 9-10 songs, so I do 9-10 different routines. I repeat the routine for the entire song then switch.
Below are different routines I do during a song. I repeat the exercises for the entire song then I will move onto the next routine. I did this for 35 minutes:
Mini suicides runs
Kickboxing cardio routines (I have 3-4 different routines for this. I do not know the names of the exercises so that is why I am not listing that out right now)
10 Jumpsquats, run in place, then 10 jumping jacks
10 regular jumping jacks, 10 scissor jumping jacks, jog around the living room
10 pushups, jog down the hallway, walking lunges back to the living room
20 burpees, 10 high kicks
10 pushups, jog around the couch, 10 jumpjacks
Hour jog/walk on the greenway behind my apartment.
