Two Barlow families in this genealogy are intermarried, but the relationships of the beginning fathers are not as yet known, though one surely exists. THOMAS BARLOW family will be outlined in a separate file. Click his name to view that lineage

DNA testing has shown this family to be related to the Lancashire group of Barlow families

From the research of Jan McCabe Hall, Nancy Thompson, and Susan BARLOW Holmes

Notes from Susan: Gallatin Co Illinois census records begin with the 1818 census, 2 Thomas are listed:

Thomas Barlow

Gallatin Co Illinois, pg 85

1 w m 21>

2 w all other

Thomas Barlow

Gallatin Co Illinois, pg 93

2 w m 21>

6 w all other

We believe that the second Thomas is the father of Benjamin, and that the first may be the Thomas shown in the second outlined family of this lineage. In 1820, Thomas Barlow, 1830, Benjamin and Jesse, 1840, John, Jesse, James and Benjamin. Found in Gallatin Co Records: Nov.23, 1818 Court consisting of John Marshall, John G. Daimwood and Andrew Wilkins allowed Thomas Barlow 64, on has having produced legal evidence that he had killed two grown wolves after act passed in 1816. The age 64, would put Thomas birth at about 1744.

1.	BENGAMEN/BENJAMIN BARLOW, perhaps the son of THOMAS BARLOW, married SARAH

In a letter written in 1793 to his mother, he mentions his son Jesse, as well as his sisters Elizabeth, Jenny, and Rebecca, as well as his brother, Jesse.    Following is a transcription of the letter, transcribed as original:

North Carolina Orange County      September 28th 1793

Dear and loving Mother we gladly Embrace this opertunity to let you know that we are in good health at present only Jessy hath had a hard turn of sickness but is now recovering blessed by God for all his mercies to us. I did intend to have come to a sen you before now and to have brought you all to this part of the Contrey but I understood that you would not com with me but if Thomas Jhonston went you intended to com with him but would not com with me. I have sent by the bearer Thomas Jhonston a cap to my Mother and cotton to my sisters Elizabeth and Reback to make each of them a pair of gloves. Dear Mother this is the seventh letter we have sent to you and never received any ansre from you yet and if you do not com out now we shurely expect an anssuer or this will be the last that we intend to send to you for we shall think that you do not think worth your while to write to us we thought that you had as good an opertunity to write to us by John Barlow as you hd to write to Thomas Jhonston. Dear Mother we would be very glad you would send us word if you can conserning sister Jeney how she is and likewise Brother Jessey. So we conclude at present and all the children joins in love to you all.

Bangmen and Sarah Barlow

The address on the back of the letter under the seal is:     To Mrs. Jane Kurbey in Bercley County Sleppy Crick in Virginia

Thus we know that Benjamin was in Orange Co North Carolina in 1793. Tax lists for Orange Co shows a Benjamin Barlow as paying taxes in Orange Co for the years 1791, and 1792.   A Benjamin Barlow is also listed in the 1790 census of Orange Co, Hillsborough District, pg 94, but an image or transcription is not available. Jan believes he was in Berkley Co Virginia around 1789 - possibly through 1800 or 1810, no census records can be found.

According to Allen Cremeens: Ham took a load of hogs down to sell to a ______ boat at Elizabethtown, something he did regularly, and the team came home pulling the wagon but Ham was not with it. Rebecca sent two sons to look for him and they checked at the boat and it was confirmed that he had sold his hogs and left, then they checked the local tavern as it was his habit to have a drink before going home, there it was confirmed he had been and gone, so the brothers split up one going east and one going west. The one going west found his father floating in ______ creek with his skull caved in and no gold on him. At this time, the family lived south of the Iron Furnace and Ham's brother Ballard brought Rebecca and children to live in Junction near the rest of the family so they could take care of them.
