Barlow  Gold!

  One  day  while he was  plowing, Francis N. Barlow  discovered what appeared to be gold  embedded in the rocks
  that his plow brought to the surface of his field.  Some of the rocks were taken to be assayed and it was truly gold.
  Unfortunately,  the amount of gold was small and was deeply embedded in rock.   It required considerable effort
  to extract and after a number of attempts to realize a profit, the mine was given up as a losing proposition.

  The gold is probably still there,  although any mining attempts would  be extremely difficult now.   In the 1930's, 
  the entire area,  consisting of  the  towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich  and  Prescott, was purchased  by the state
  and flooded to create the Quabbin Reservoir to supply Boston with water.

  Francis N. Barlow was  born in 1854, probably at  Ware, Massachusetts, and was a  son of Henry White Barlow 
  and Emeline Crucy Hill.    He was a  farmer at Greenwich,  in central  Massachusetts, where he spent most of his
  life.   He died on  August 14, 1912,  at Greenwich  &  was initially buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery at  Enfield,
  Massachusetts.   Along  with  many  others,  Francis Barlow's gravesite at  Enfield was  moved to a  newly created
  cemetery, Quabbin Park Cemetery, when the reservoir was built.

  Otis P.  Barlow  was another  New  Englander  who caught the gold  fever.   He was  born on  April  22, 1837, at 
  Woodstock,  Connecticut, and was a son of  Reuben Barlow and Dorcas Converse.  While still a very young man
  he went to California for gold.   He not only found gold but managed to  resist the many  temptations to spend it
  in California.   He started his journey home by sailing from San Francisco to the Isthmus of Panama.   There he
  took a mule train  across to the Atlantic side where  he boarded the steamer Central America for  the  final leg of 
  the  journey. 

  This was  the quickest,  most comfortable and  most popular way to travel  between the  two coasts of  the United
  States.  A first class cabin cost $300,   second class  cabin  $250,  steerage $150, and the trip  took about  three
  and one half weeks.

  More on John Barlow of Fairfield CT

  Jean McNamara of  Fairplay, Colorado,  has sent a stack of  material on  John Barlow that she  received from an
  English researcher Liz Carter.  Much of this miscellanea is contained elsewhere in this issue of Barlow of Barlow.
  Of particular interest here is the correspondence  between  Miss Carter and  two  representatives of  The College
  of Arms regarding the supposed right of  the  immigrant  John Barlow of Fairfield, Connecticut,  to  the Slebetch
  arms.

  It has long been a family legend that Joel Barlow, a descendent of  John Barlow,  applied for & obtained the right
  to the arms of the Slebetch/Slebech branch of the Barlow  family during one of his many visits to England in the
  latter years  of  the  eighteenth  century.  This right  was based on Joel's  descent, and hence John's descent, from
  Roger Barlow, the founder of the Slebetch branch.  Roger Barlow was granted the Slebetch arms in 1559.  (The
  Barlow arms of the Slebetch branch are carried on the right in the masthead of this newsletter.)

  Joel Barlow's right to the Slebetch arms was published in  Matthews' American Armoury and Blue Book by John
  Matthews at London in 1908.    It  is  supposed  that John Matthews would  have obtained his information  from 
  the College of Arms,  but  this correspondence seems to indicate that he relied only on information supplied by 
  the family from the family tradition.

  In his letter of July 14, 1993,  to Miss Carter, P. Ll.  Gwynn-Jones, M.A., the Lancaster  Herald of  The College
  of   Arms, wrote "There is nothing in the  Records of the College of  Arms  to  support  the proposition that  Joel 
  Barlow sought and obtained  the right to use  Arms which were  identical with or  similar to the Arms of  the Sle-
  betch Barlows, or any other Arms.  Nor does Joel  appear on any pedigree, an inclusion which might have assist- 
  ed  the shedding of light onto this question."

  Mr. Gwynn-Jones goes on:   "A  Barlow  who is  thought to be  his  ancestor,  William Barlow of Chichester, does 
  appear in the Records,  accompanied by  the name of his father and names  and  details  of the  Bishop's brother 
  (Roger of  Slebech); Roger's descendants; the Bishop's wife and one of her daughters by the Bishop."

  In a sense, this places the researchers of John Barlow's ancestry back to "square one."  The bright  side of  all this
  is that it is probably good to get rid of  all the  misinformation so  that we can deal strictly with facts.  It may very
  well be that John Barlow was a descendent  of  the  Slebetch  branch and it  may be that Joel informally obtained 
  information about  his ancestry  while in  England, but we are confronted  with the need for better proof than we
  now have.

  But this trip turned out differently.  Two days out of Havana, on September 10, 1857, the Central America was
  struck by a hurricane and sank off the coast of South  Carolina.  Otis Barlow &  422 other  men perished, many
  as  they tried to save their gold.  It has been estimated that the  Central America carried three  tons of California
  gold and it has only been as recent as 1989 that any salvage efforts have been successful.

  The  location of the parcel is abbreviated and the abbreviations used can probably be best explained by example: 
  N, E, S, W, NE, SE, SW and NW  are compass direction (north, east, etc.).   A  section is 640 acres  and there 
  are 36 sections in a six-mile square township.   Parcels  less than a  whole section were  usually divided by quarter
  sections  (160 acres) and quarter of  quarter sections  (40 acres).   NENW would  indicate  the northeast quarter
  of the northwest  quarter of  the section.  N2NE would indicate the northerm half of the northeast quarter of the
  section. 

  Sometimes odd  size  parcels were  designated as numbered lots.   A  more  complete explanation is contained in
  the Township Atlas of the United States by John L. Andriot, which is available at most libraries.
 

  The latest issue (March-April 1995) of Everton's Genealogical  Helper  contains  an excellent  article on  family
  newsletters by Lou Pero.  Mr.  Pero makes a number of points in his article, and I would  like to quote several of
  these:

  "If you take a family newsletter for one year & then drop  it  because you didn't see your family in it, it's probably
  because you didn't send it in, and you will have missed the point of the family newsletter."

  "The real heart of  this  type of  newslette r [the surname newsletter like ours]  is the  query, and  most want good
  queries,more that the usual barebones 'named, date, place' query."

  "To me,  the best  help  I have received  from  a  family  newsletter is  the exchange of  ideas.   The  story  of  one 
  person's successful research may contain some creative strategies that will make a difference in another person's 
  research."

  Barlow of Barlow is  published quarterly and issues are  scheduled for  February, May, August and November.  I 
  try to complete each issue by the first of the publication month and get it in the mail by the middle of the month.

  So far I have had very few delivery problems, but  there have  been  some.  We have a  good postal  system in this
  country in spite of all the griping that we are all  inclined to do about it.    If  for any reason you do not receive an
  issue by the end of the scheduled publication month,  please  let me know so that a  replacement can be promptly
  sent to you.

 The  Internet

  As many of you undoubtedly know, the Internet, the so-called information superhighway, is a  wonderful tool for
  genealogists.   The Illinois Public Land Sales Records on  page 181 of this  issue were  extracted from a database
  available from the University of Illinois at Chicago on the Internet.  And there is more.
  The Kentucky Vital Records are available on a  very  large database provided by  the University of Kentucky and 
  include  death  records  from 1911 to 1992,  marriage  records  from 1973 to 1993,  and divorce  records from
  1973 to 1993.    Card  catalogs  from  the  major libraries of  the world  are available,  including  the  Library  of
  Congress,  the  New  York  Public  Library  and the libraries of  many universities.    And  the information that is
  available keeps expanding on an almost daily basis.

  Another valuable resource of the Internet is electronic mail or E-mail and, again, genealogists are catching on to
  this new means of communication.    E-mail  combines  the  better qualities of  the  letter  with  the speed  of  the
  telephone.  Thoughts  can  be carefully chosen,  data can be  included and the  recipient  has a  permanent paper 
  copy of a message that took, at most, minutes to transmit.

  Barlow of Barlow  may be  contacted at   barlowpa@metronet.lib.mi.us   and I  hope  that this  may prove to be a
  convenience for our readers.
