Barker Ten Mile, North Carolina

The land surrounding Barker Ten Mile includes multiple areas of local historic significance, the first being "The Meadows," which is the familial hunting grounds and horse pastures of the Goodes, French, McMillan, Sheppard and Godwin families, all of whom were prominent landholders, tobacco farmers and community members. Margeret Mclean, (née French) the wife of Angus Wilton Mclean, grew up in Barker Ten Mile. The collection of family land holdings originally stretched from what is now Meadowbrook Cemetery and north to Bee Gee Road and Meadow Road. From east to west, the property extended along the boundaries of Meadow Road and traversed I-95 near the current location of Robeson County Community College. Barry Godwin French, Margaret French McLean's father, was often referred to by the nickname "Bee Gee" and as such Bee Gee road, which bisected his land was named after him. Additionally, Barker Ten Mile is within the drainage area and immediately contains portions of Ten Mile Swamp and Saddle Tree Swamp, both of which are of cultural significance to the Lumbee. The Locklear family (Lumbee) and the Goodes (Barker Ten Mile Scot's) were known to have hunted quail frequently together at the meadow and is reflective generally of the racial attitudes of the Barker Ten Mile Scots and Saddle Tree/Barker Ten Mile Lumbee.
