He was one of the first black African students in York and is presumably linked with William N Barleycorn, the first native Primitive Methodist minister in Fernando Po. Other leading Creole families in Fernando Po (now Bioko) around this time included the Barleycorn family, as well as Vivour, Jones, Kinson, Dougan, Grange, Davies, Balboa, Knox, Coker and Collins.[1] An ancestral link has been suggested with Francis Barber, Samuel Johnson's man-servant.[citation needed] His Barber surname was from Sierra Leone Creoles who settled in Fernando Po.
