I represent William Barker. I was a lieutenant in His Majesty’s 16th Regiment of Foot. The Pennsylvania Gazette, 9 AUG 1770, reported: “A duel has lately been fought, at Pensacola, between Lieut. Barker and Ensign Litchfield, both of the16th Regiment, in which the former received a Ball in one of the Legs, which Wound, it was feared, would prove mortal.” I must have survived as I was promoted to captain at some point and taken prisoner by the Spanish – at the 1782 muster of the Regiment in Leeds, England, I was reported to be a prisoner in Havana.
