JAMES BARLOW 2, son of Branson Barlow, was born c1805-06 in North Carolina, and died before 1870, probably in Ashley Co Arkansas.

The only known marriage for James Barlow is to ELIZABETH EVERETT on December 07, 1840 in Clarke Co Alabama.  (Clarke Co Alabama Marriage Records, 1814-1959, Judge of Probate)

He apparently married 2nd, PARMELIA

Branson mentions in his will of 1839, his son, 'James, of Hinds Co Mississippi', however, James must have returned to Alabama after his father's death, as he is enumerated in Clarke Co living with another male, who has not been identified, but could be anyone; a boarder, laborer, or a relative.

James and Parmelia were married within the 1850 census year, and so it would appear that the son, George W. was a son with his first wife, Elizabeth Everett, who is apparently deceased at this time.

1850 Slave Schedule of Morehouse Parish - James to have several slaves: - 1 black female, age 30 - 1 black male - age 10 - 1 black male, age 8 - 1 black female, age 6 - 1 mulatto male, age 2 - 1 mulatto male, age 6 months -

In 1850, Elizabeth Ratliff was living in Morehouse Parish with her husband, Lorenzo D. Ratliff. I wonder if she might be Parmelia's sister. 
I have not located James and Parmelia in the 1870 census, and the two youngest children are living with George, making me think they may have died.
 
Child of James Barlow and Elizabeth Everett is:
3. GEORGE W. BARLOW3, born c1841 in Alabama
Children of James Barlow and Parmelia are:
4. JAMES FRANKLIN PIERCE BARLOW3, born November 03, 1852 in Louisiana, and died March 12, 1900, probably in Ashley Co Arkansas.

3.
GEORGE W. BARLOW3, born c1841 in Alabama, and may have died before 1878

He married MARGARET c1869-1870, and possibly either widowed or divorced before October 10, 1876, at which time she married to Henry King in Ashley Co Arkansas.

I find a marriage record of George W. Barlow and Mary J. Jeffers, December 20, 1865 in Ashley Co Arkansas,   (Marriage records, 1848-1951, Ashley Co Arkansas, County Clerk) Could she be the same as Margaret?

I believe Margaret / Mary (born October 1850) is living in Clay, White Co Arkansas in 1900, along with son William E. King, (born June 1878), and other children, and a house full of boarders. She is the widow of Mr. Broadwaters, so she must have married a third time.     Census Image
