I am looking for a connection to the name Baker ..... I am wondering if it is Barker...?

My name I have is Anna Baker born abt. 1456, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. She married Thomas Leighton, born abt. 1453, Wattlesborough, England. Anna's fathers name was Roger Baker born abt. 1430. This is a brick wall, I am wondering if anyone may have seen the name Baker and Barker used by the same famlies?

I am researching two separate Barker families. One from Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK the other from London, UK.

I am looking for information regarding James Franklin Barker (probably called Franklin). Born 1810, Surry County, NC --- married Lucy Chandler 1831 in Hendricks County, IN --- By 1840 they were living in Marion County, Decatur, Twp. Indiana.---- They moved their family to Warren County, Iowa in the mid 1850's. He died in 1877. I cannot find anything on his parents. He is my brick wall. I've also heard that he could have been of Cherokee Indian and that perhaps his father might have been named Daniel? He has really been a hard one for me. Any help will be truly appreciated.
