At the time of emigration they are listed as being from Neustaedterwald in West Prussia. According to tradition their mother treated them with a glass of buttermilk before they started out on their long trek, and wished them a happy journey. Since they were of military age they sought to escape conscription in Prussia. By day they hid under grain stooks. By night they made progress as best they could. When they arrived in the Molotschna Colony they settled in the village of Ruckenau, which had been founded in the year 1811. The "Gemeinden Berichten 1848" contain a particularly detailed report of the pioneer years in the village of Ruckenau. Apparently the first eight families to settle in the village were poor and received government assistance at the Russian border. The last nine families had sufficient means and did not recieve a subsidy. Since the Barkman brothers emigrated in 1818 they probably were included among the latter group. In 1819 Jacob was married to Gertrude Klassen, the daughter of Peter Klassen. An interesting incident involving Jacob J. Barkman is recorded in the annals of Kleine Gemeinde Aeltester Abraham Frisen (1782-1849). Both Jacob and his brother Martin had acted as village Schulz or mayor for many years. Evidently Jacob had become involved in various inconsistencies in that capacity and complaints had been made to the Kleine Gemeinde, who counselled him to resolve the matter. Initially, Jacob did not accept this advice and was excommunicated. In a letter the church elders admonished his wife to encourage her husband to return to the fold which he did shortly thereafter. Gertrude died in Ruckenau in 1847. In 1852 he married a widow Enns who died seven years later. Jacob emigrated to Manitoba as an elderly widower in 1874 and died at the home of his daughter Aganetha Toews, in Blumenort, in 1875. -from Pioneers and Pilgrims: The Mennonite Kleine Gemeinde in Manitoba, Nebraska, and Kansas, 1874 to 1882, by Delbert F.
