Nathaniel Ervin Barker was the son of John Ervin Barker (born December1864 in Deep River, Powesheik County, Iowa, who died August 18, 1916, in Norfolk, Nebraska). Based on his Social Security application, there could be some confusion about his year of birth; however, he was the younger brother of Maude Tucker Barker, who was born February 19, 1895; and he was born December 18, 1895. After the divorce of his parents December 9,1904, in Dixon, Nebraska, John Barker was awarded custody of Nathaniel; however, Nathaniel lived instead with his aunt Dorothy Childs (birth name Ora Ella Childs, also known as Dot and Dorothy), and daughter Maude lived with her mother Mildred.

The family is listed in Barker Genealogy, by Elizabeth Frye Barker (New York: Frye Publishing Co., 1927), page 374. The entry states: "John married Milly [sic] Childs," and Maud [sic] and Nathaniel as issues, with no dates or places of birth identified.
