Herma Armstrong March 2001 (invalid e-mail, posted for information only) My elusive Lydia BARLOW (b. abt. 1784) and husband Ransom ODELL (b. abt 1780) named a son "Nelson" and the name was carried down every generation as far as my generation either in the form "Nellie" or "Nelson." It must have been a family name to have been so important. I figure the name was a BARLOW name since I haven't found any "Nellies" or "Nelsons" among any other ODELL lines other than this one. I don't know precisely where my Lydia and Ransom were born. The census gives New Hampshire as Lydia's birthplace and New York for Ransom. I think Ransom was probably born either in the Oblong area that was disputed by Connecticut and New York (area east of the Hudson River) or else up around the Glens Falls-Lake George area near the Vermont border. In the time period of Lydia's birth the area that became Vermont was being claimed by New York and New Hampshire so when she said she was born in New Hampshire, it might not be the New Hampshire we think of today. I know I'm grasping at straws, but these folks have stumped researchers for many years. They didn't leave a paper trail. Lydia and Ransom had several children born in New York in the 1805-1814 time period before moving to Scioto Co Ohio where the first "Nelson" - my gg grandfather - was born in 1818. The names of those New York - born children include some very common BARLOW given names - Thomas (the eldest child) and Moses (the 2nd son). There was also Mary, Melinda, Chauncey, Benajah (an Odell name), and James. |

Mary Stewart Kyritsis June 2000 Kifissia, Athens, Greece (Mary is no longer pursuing her Barlow roots, posted here for information only) I am trying to find clues as to who this Nathan BARLOW is. I went back into the Barlow archives and saw a number of posts from 1998 on for men of this name, but I couldn't be sure that they were the same as the one I'm after. As I was looking for information on Joseph MILLER and his wife Lydia STOWE, from families living in Middletown Connecticut and ending up in Granville Massachusetts but somehow living in Lee Center, New York on the way, I found the web page for Lee, Oneida Co New York, which had a nice little history of the town. This stood out: "Also in 1790 came Deacon Nathan BARLOW and his wife and her sons, Smith, Eliakim, Dan and Luther MILLER." Further down the page: "Some early members of this church were Deacon Nathan BARLOW and his wife Lydia." What intrigues here is that the family I'm trying to trace, Joseph Miller and Lydia Stowe, had the following sons: Joseph (b. 1755), Jesse (b.1757), SMITH (b.1763), ELIAKIM (b.1764), DAN (b.1770), and LUTHER (b. 1771) These are not usual names, and it just doesn't seem possible that the article about Lee New York, isn't referring to this family. Nowhere, however, can I find any indication of a Deacon Nathan BARLOW who married a widow Lydia (Stowe) MILLER. Is this a red herring, or is it a nice little clue that never came out before? I'd be most interested in corresponding with anyone working on a Nathan BARLOW who may have been born in Middletown, Connecticut, where Joseph Miller and his wife came from (and are well documented in the Barbour Collection). |

Kent Barlow June 2000 (Kent is no longer able to do research) I have just returned from a visit to Lee Center and other points in Oneida Co New York. Nathan Barlow was born on 26 Mar 1726 in Suffield, Connecticut, the son of James Barlow and Martha Gates. The James Barlow family moved from Suffield to Granville, Massachusetts prior to 1746, where they became one of the founding families of Granville. Nathan's first two wives, Martha Gates, and Margaret Purchase died after bearing him a total of 8 children. Nathan then married the widow Lydia Stow (her husband Joseph died 31 Jan 1785 in Granville) after Margaret's death in Oct, 1791 in Granville. Nathan died 17 Jan 1812 in Lee and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, in the town of Lee. Lydia died 26 March 1825, aged 92 and is buried next to Nathan in Evergreen Cemetery. Nathans stone, although broken is very legible while Lydia's stone is nearly illegible. |

I have extracted from the North Carolina death records, Barlows who were born in other states. Only one was found to be born in Connecticut, the following. Perhaps she is your long lost relative.Carolina |
