They had three children, all died before their first birthdays. Thomas Barker sailed to England many times as a representative of North Carolina. In 1761, Thomas sailed to England and was unable to return for many years due to the British blockade of American ships On October 25, 1774, ten months after the famous Boston Tea Party, Barker organized a Tea Party of her own. Penelope wrote a statement proposing a boycott on British goods and 51 local women signed and published the letter opposing British taxation, sending it to a London newspaper. The gathering which, took place in the home of Elizabeth King, became known as the Edenton Tea Party. It was published in London but received misogynist ridicule there.After Thomas Barker returned in 1778, he and Penelope built a home in 1782, which is known today as “The Barker House”. Penelope and her husband both died in 1796 and are buried alongside each other in the Johnston family graveyard at Hayes Plantation, near Edenton.".
