Biography
Visitation of Gloucestershire shows a John Barker alias Coverall, of Coulshurst, Salop. as son of William Barker, alias Coverall of Coverall Castle and his wife Margaret "daughter & heir to ... Goldstone of Goldstone." and father of John Barker who married Elizabeth Hill. [2]
Visitation of Shropshire has "John Barker al’s Conerall of Wolnerton [Wollerton] in com. Salop” as son of William Barker ali's Conerall and Margarett "da. & heire to Goulston of goulston". Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, Vol. II, p. 514 [3]
John Barker married Joyce, daughter of Edward Burton of Longnor. [1]
Named in the Will of his half-brother William Whitmore of Apley in 1593. [2]
Research Notes
Dates are very confused. He is very likely the same person as the John Barker who married Elizabeth Hill. She married her second husband before 1561 and her daughter Alice Barker Leigh married in 1536.
Visitation of Shropshire notwithstanding, given that Joyce died in 1565 and her father in 1524, it is likely that this John belongs earlier in the Barker pedigree than as son of William and Margaret.

As an aside, 40 years is not out of the running when the dates are complete guesses. I've seen guessed dates that, once firmed up, turned out to be over 100 years off.
Identifying his origins has been a struggle. See also the G2G posts.
Between the two John Barkers, one may be misplaced as opposed to being the same person.
I've taken myself off as PM, as I cannot edit anyone pre-1500.
Feel free to contact me though.
