Personal Life
Captain Barker was never married; his nearest relations were Collet Dobson Collet, nephew; Clara Collet, great niece; Edward Dobson, New Zealand engineer, nephew; Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson New Zealand survey engineer, great nephew and George Dobson surveyor New Zealand who was murdered 1866 by the Burgess gang. It is rather tragic to think that Captain Barker and his great nephew George Dobson were both killed because of mistaken identity and with nothing more than a compass in hand.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
