A. Henry Duffey & Daisy Dell Barker

DAISY DELL BARKER (Born July 31, 1884) (Died February 5,1938), Daughter of Benjamin Frank Barker and wife Cordelia Jane Frye Barker, became pregnant with Velma MAE Barker (Born August 5, 1900) (Died December 29, 1994) out of wedlock. Clyde Moberly, the father of Velma Mae Barker wanted to marry Daisy, but his parents were greatly against it, and sent him away. As the story has been told to me, the parents of Clyde Moberly attempted to give Daisy a specific amount money if she, Daisy, would agree to say that Velma was not the daughter of their precious Son. Daisy refused to do so. Later, Clyde Moberly returned to the area and went to see Daisy and told her that he still wanted to marry her. Being he had listened to his parents and took their money and left the area for a while, I assume that Daisy felt he didn't have much sand in him to leave her in such a state to begin with, and refused his proposal of marriage. She ended up marrying a gentleman name of A. Henry Duffey who I was told was indeed very good to her, and as well a very good stepfather to Velma, as stated by Velma years later. This is where the Duffey's entered into the family.
