©Barlow Genealogy 1998-2007

John Barlow, son of Branson

Graphics by Rhio

This lineage was researched and compiled from census records by Susan BARLOW Holmes; the information on the Cader and Zachariah Worley family comes from Carol Scott. This John is not proven to be the son of Branson, nor that the family who were living in Clarke Co Alabama, but after having traced Mary Ann Elizabeth Barlow and Zachariah Worley who were married in Clarke Co Alabama in 1844 to Morehouse Parish, and then following the movements of their family, including their only surviving son who is found living in the home of William Barlow, son of this John and Sarah, it seems pretty evident, at least to me, that they are the would be the same. Further research will need to be done to prove without a doubt, the lineage.   You will also note that this family lived in Morehouse Parish Louisiana, as well as Ashley and Desha Co Arkansas, all very near to the James Barlow family, known son of Branson Barlow.

Generation 2
2.
JOHN BARLOW, son of Branson Barlow, was born c1798 in North Carolina, and died before 1860 in Louisiana.

He married SARAH.  She was born c1800 in Georgia, and probably died between 1860 and 1870, in Louisiana
 
1816 Monroe Co Alabama:  John Barlow - 1 wm over 21 - 3 wm under 21 - 1 wf over 21 - 4 wf under 21 
I don't believe that this is Branson's son, John, who would have only been 18 at the time of this census.   It may be a brother of Branson' or perhaps an uncle.

In 1860, John is apparently deceased, and Sarah is living with her son, William     Census Image

From the dates of the children's birth, the last child shown to be 6 years old, and born in Alabama, we can determine that John and Sarah moved to Louisiana between 1845-1850. I believe that after their father's death in 1839, John and James had no binds to Alabama, and came to Louisiana, perhaps with a wagon train, as we see many, many families around them from Alabama.
 
Known children of John and Sarah are:
3.
MARY ANN ELIZABETH BARLOW3, born c1825-26 in Alabama.  Mary and William may be twins, though it has not been proven that she is the daughter of John and Sarah, but it seems quite likely that she is.
4. WILLIAM J. BARLOW, born c1825-26 in Alabama
** ELIZABETH BARLOW, born c1834 in Alabama
** JAMES BARLOW, born c1838 in Alabama.  I was unable to locate him after 1860.  It is possible he was a casualty of the Civil War, though I find no record of his service.
** SARAH BARLOW, born c1840-41 in Alabama.
** ELIZA BARLOW, born c1843-44 in Alabama
Generation 3
3.
MARY ANN ELIZABETH BARLOW3, whom I believe to be the daughter of John and Sarah Barlow, was born c1825-26 in Alabama, and died between 1860-70 in Morehouse Parish Louisiana.

She married ZACHARIAH FINLEY WORLEY on January 13, 1844 in Clarke Co Alabama, the affair witnessed by Lewis Barlow. (Dodd, Jordan R., compilation, Early American Records, 1809-1920) Lewis may have been the brother of John, also a son of Branson, or it is possible she had an older brother named Lewis who witnessed the marriage. It may be that John and Sarah had already moved to Louisiana. Mary's age is shown as 18, while Zachariah is 27.
Born January 13, 1817, and dying in 1857, Zachariah Worley was the son of Cader Worley and Malinda Norris Finley, who were neighbors of John and Lewis Barlow in the 1830 and 1840 census of Clarke Co Alabama.

Zach is deceased as are the three children who were listed in the 1850 census.  According to the Worley family genealogy, Zachariah and Mary had 11 children, only one of them survived to adulthood, that being Charles.
 
Susan BARLOW Holmes writes:
Originally I had thought that Mary Ann Elizabeth Barlow was the daughter of Lewis Barlow, this based on the fact that he named a "Mary Ann Elizabeth Barlow" in his will of 1849, and the fact that a Lewis Barlow had witnessed the marriage of Mary and Zachariah Worley. However, after corresponding with Carol Scott,  a Worley family researcher, we determined that Lewis daughter, was mothered by Martha Everett, who would have only been about 5 years of age at the time of this Mary's birth. We determined that his Mary, probably died shortly after he did, since she is not listed on the 1850 census of Clarke Co Alabama with Martha.

OF FURTHER INTEREST
Carol Scott writes:

"My 3-gr-grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Ann Barlow ... according to her granddaughter (my g-grandmother), was a Choctaw - the daughter of a Chief White Feather... and was "given" the name Barlow ... According to 2 of my cousins, the answer is in the files (on a CD) at any Mormon Library. They say they had the file open and saw Mary Elizabeth Ann Barlow's Indian name - as well as the Indian name of her father .. but their time on the computer was up and they were cut off ... they never got the chance to go back and look for it again."

She states further:

"I still don't know what to do about the story of my Mary Ann Elizabeth Barlow having been "given" the name of the people on whose farm she was living ... or about her 'real' father being Chief White Feather.

From the records of Murphy Zack Worley, son of Charles Alexander Worley:

Back in 1911-1912, there was a tall dark man came from Meridian, Mississippi. He hired a horse and buggy in Bastrop. He came looking for our father, Charles Alexander Worley. His name was Alexander P. Powell. He was carrying a large book with the record of my father. He was entitled to some land in Oklahoma in the Indian Territory that the government had given the Indians. Later, it became rich in oil. My daddy corresponded with this man. After my daddy died, we corresponded with a lawyer that was supposed to be representing the Indians. His office was in Philadelphia Mississippi, but somehow we could never get enough to prove our claim. We Worley children were entitled to quite a lot of wealth on both sides of the family, but unfortunately the proof was done away with or there weren't ever any records.

Carol recently discovered that in 1916, Alexander Powell was arrested for impersonating a government official, but died before he served time, so that leaves even a further thread to unravel. She suggests ... it could be that it was Mary Ann Elizabeth's mother, Sarah, who was the Choctaw, since Alexander P. Powell was targeting KNOWN Melungeon families in East Texas and Louisiana, many of whom had already applied for "Indian" status. Since many of Powell's family members were attorneys and judges, it is possible that he had access to the names of those who were applying for Indian status and hatched his "scam" from there.

Footnote: While Carol agrees with me as that this lineage appears to be accurate, she wants to still investigate the possibility of Mary being the daughter of Chief White Feather.   If anyone has further information on any of these families, please contact both Carol and I. 
 
Known children of Mary and Zachariah are:
** DONALD ROGER WORLEY4, born c1845 in Alabama, and died before 1860 in Lousiana.
** JOHN LIVINGSTON WORLEY, born May 1849 in Louisiana, and died before 1860 in Louisiana.
** THOMAS JONES WORLEY, twin to John, born May 1849 in Louisiana, and died before 1860 in Louisiana.
** JOSEPH S. WORLEY, born c1849 in Louisiana, and died young.
** E.S. WORLEY, (female), born c1850 in Louisiana.
**
CHARLES ALEXANDER WORLEY, born September 26, 1851 in Louisiana, and died August 14, 1920.   Charles said to have been raised by his uncle, Travis Worley, but is living with William J. and Jane Barlow in 1870.  Census Image
Charles married 3 times, and kept the family name strong by fathering 18 children. Carol Scott is one of 114 g-grandchildren of Rena Narcissis Worley Moore, oldest child of Charles and his first wife Laura Donovan.

4.
WILLIAM J. BARLOW, son of John and Sarah Barlow, was born c1825-26 in Alabama, and was living in Morehouse Parish Louisiana by 1850.  He probably died between 1874-1880.

He married JANE (perhaps Jane Ray), c1849-50, at which time, they are found living in the home of Elizabeth Ray, whom I believe to be her mother, and next door to John and Sarah Barlow.

These are the gr-grandparents of Dianne Parks, who provided the photos in this file.   Her mother does not know anything about the Barlow family, she said her father (Rayburn) never spoke of his family.  It could be because both his father died when he was young, and his grandfather was deceased by the time his own father was 6 years old.   Most of the families stayed in Ashley Co Arkansas and Morehouse Parish Louisiana.
