DNA Testing has proven that the family of Alfred Hirton Barlow and of John Barlow and Martha Wadell are of this lineage. If anyone can connect these families, we'd sure love to hear from you. It has also proven that their is no relationship to the family of William Barlow and Edith Mathoda who lived in close proximity to this family.

JAMES BARLOW 2 (Thomas1) was born 18 February 1791, probably in Wake Co North Carolina, and died 19 September 19, 1855 in Laurens Co Georgia.

He married 1) REBECCA HARVIN on 19 December 1810 in Laurens Co Georgia. She was born in 1794 in Laurens County and was a daughter of John Harvin and Rebecca Nowell formerly of Edgefield Co South Carolina, and died December 15, 1830 in Laurens Co Georgia.

He married 2) WINNIFRED J. CALDWELL on 13 May 1832, probably a daughter of Samuel Caldwell. (Edson Barlow cites that she is a daughter of Christopher Caldwell) Winnifred was born 17 February 1802 in North Carolina, and died 02 August 1852 in Laurens Co Georgia.

Received from the estate of his father: Slave: Adam, worth $300, and was owed $24.37 ½ by the estate

From Edson Barlow's Research:

He moved to South Carolina with his father and subsequently acquired land in Laurens Co Georgia, in 1812.

At the time of his death on September 19, 1855, he held about 2000 acres, with about 100 slaves, in Laurens and Sumter Counties, Georgia.

He was a prominent and respected citizen of Laurens County, a devoted and leading church member, school trustee, and justice of the county court.

The SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE Laurens County, Georgia Issue: November 01, 1855, Page 175, Column 4 Died, of Typhoid Fever, at his residence in Laurens County, on the 19th of September, and twentieth day of his illness. James Barlow was aged 64 years, 7 months and 1 day. Seldom has it been the lot of any one to record a death which has been more widely felt or more deeply lamented than that of brother Barlow. He was a native of Edgefield District S.C., came to Georgia in the 21st year of his age, and settled in Laurens County on the very plantation on which he died. In 1826 he connected himself with the Baptist church at Rocky Creek and was baptized by Reverend John Ross, in July of that year. In August he had the happiness to see his beloved wife follow his Divine Master in the ordinance of baptism, and in September he was elected Deacon; an office which he filled with honor till the day of his death. His lot on earth, though prosperous so far as temporal things are concerned, was not without its trials and afflictions. He lived to mourn the oss of two, amiable companions (with the former of whom he lived past 20 years, and with the latter 20 years, 2 months and some days) and of seven children, three of whom had arrived at the years of maturity yet he bore his trials with … As a father, he was singularly blessed in his family. Of nine children who reached maturity he lived to see all but one become members of the church, and all become honorable respected, and ___ members of the community.

The SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE Laurens County, Georgia Issue: July 06, 1859, Page 3, Column 4 At the residence of her husband, near Americus, on the 17th inst., Sister Amanda Barlow, aged 37 years, 6 months, and 11 days. In 1843 she was baptized upon a profession of her faith in Christ, and united with the Baptist Church in Americus, of which she continued a devoted and consistent member until this relation was dissolved by death. During her last illness, which was of more than three months continuance, she suffered very severely, but was never heard to murmur. To the will of God she seemed entirely resigned, and often referred to her approaching end, but always spoke of it as "going home." Her thoughts seemed to run much upon heaven, and she frequently spoke of it to her husband and others, as "the better land." She was speechless for three weeks before her death, but still gave evidence by signs, that her faith in the Redeemer was unshaken. But she is gone, and has left a heart~stricken husband, a sorrowing sister, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. But while they drop the tear of sorrow, they will ever think of her as a rejoicing spirit in the world of glory. May God comfort the bereaved!

Issue: July 05, 1855 Page 107 Column 4

Died, in Americus, on the 19th ult., of Typhoid Fever, James Judson Barlow in the twenty fifth year of his age.

He was confined to his room five weeks but was never heard to murmur. He presented an example of the most perfect resignation to the will of God which it has ever been the privilege of the writer to witness.

The day before his death he requested an interview with his pastor, in which he stated, as well as his strength would permit, his desire for a stronger faith in the Redeemer, asking that prayer might be made to that effect.

On the day of his decease he called his brothers to his bed~side, and gave them direction concerning the settlement of his affairs. He said he wished them to convey his remains to Laurens County, and bury them beside his mother.

.....At a few minutes before 10 o’clock at night he fell asleep in Jesus, passing gently.....

He has left an aged father, several brothers and sisters.

Double listed in the 1870 census: I believe the John J. Hale made the census, then remade it again a week later. The first one has mistakes, ie...Amelia is listed as Mary, and her age is one year younger than on the latter record. Emily lost a year of age in the newer record. They lost a lot of money, John lost all of his, and the boarder is also missing from the second record. Apparently they have also moved, as none of the neighbors are even the same. In the first record they live two doors from William W. and Lizzie Barlow.

By Lundie W. Barlow

Louisiana Caroline Davis, daughter of Benjamin and Martha Taylor Davis, was born in 1824 and was married December 22, 1841 to John Harvin Barlow of Lowndes Co Alabama, a planter.

Their youngest son was John Davis Barlow

Louisiana Caroline Davis Barlow preceded her husband and he died on October 09, 1871. He was born February 09, 1816 in Laurens Co Georgia, but became a resident of Autagua after his marriage, removing thence about 1860 to the adjoining county of Lowndes where his home plantation was called Pleasant Hill.

The children of John and Caroline were:

Martha Anne, Thomas Wade, William Franklin, Robert Merritt, Mary Emma, wife of Jesse Deane Boring, James Judson, Ella Amelia, wife of William Buchanan, and John Davis Barlow.

John Harvin Barlow married secondly, in 1864, Louisiana, daughter of James Deats, and widow of William Archer Butler.

By her he had three children:

Janie Lanier, wife of B.C. Morrison, Laura Harvin, wife of W.J. Suggs, and Joseph Foster Barlow.

After the death of their father, these children removed to Texas with their mother and several of their half brothers and sisters.

Being too old for active duty in the War between the States, John Harvin Barlow served with the Lowndes County Home Guards.

His eldest son, Thomas Wade Barlow, enlisted when only sixteen years of age in the Alabama Battery of the Jeff Davis Artillery, was captured at Spotsylvania Court House on May 01, 1864 and died in an army hospital the following year.

John Harvin Barlow was a Mason; a Deacon of the Baptist Church; and Justice of Peace of Lowndes County. He died in Americus, Georgia, on October 09, 1871.

The following notice of his death appeared in the weekly Sumter Republican, Americus newspaper of that time:

Mr. John Barlow, an esteemed citizen of Alabama, died in this place on Monday night last. He had been on a visit to his brothers, Doctors WW and WJ Barlow, and contracted the disease from which he died. He leaves a wife and nine children.

His remains were escorted to Oak Grove Cemetery by the members of the Masonic Fraternity and a large number of mourning friends in vehicles. The solemn Masonic rites were held over the remains.

DR. JOHN W. DAVIS, father of Louisiana Caroline Davis Barlow

DR. JOHN W. DAVIS, a retired physician and surgeon of Autauga county, Ala., was born here in 1838, the son of Benjamin, born in Brunswick county, Va., in 1789, and Martha (Taylor) Davis, born in Oglethorpe county, Ga., in 1797. Maj. Benjamin Davis was a soldier of the war of 1812 and was one of the pioneer settlers of Autauga county, having come here in the year 1818 or 1819; here he married, and became quite popular—at one time representing Autauga county in the state legislature and at another time serving as tax collector. He was a well-to-do farmer and died, in 1863, at the age of eighty-four years, a life-long Methodist. Mrs. Martha Davis was a daughter of Benjamin Taylor, who came to Alabama from Georgia and settled in Autauga county many years ago; she died in 1873, at the age of seventy-seven years. These parents had born to them nine children, viz: Mary Ellen, deceased wife of German Fike; Dr. Benjamin F., deceased; Warren Merritt, killed when young, by a falling tree; Balert Henry; Louisiana, deceased wife of John H. Barlow; Dr. Thomas Asbery, of Anniston, Ala., who served as captain of company G, Sixth Alabama infantry, and later as surgeon of the regiment, and later still as brigade surgeon under Gen. Gordon; Laura T., wife of William Carver, of Autuagaville; Mary, deceased wife of J. H. Golson, also deceased; and Dr. John W. Dr. John W. Davis was educated at the school of his district and at Summerfiled, Dallas county; he then read medicine with his brothers; attended the university at New Orleans, and graduated, in 1859, from the medical department of the university of Atlanta, Ga., fully equipped for the practice of his profession. Early in 1861, he joined company G, Sixth Alabama infantry, and with it went to Virginia, where he was taken prisoner by the enemy the day before the first battle of Bull Run, and was confined in prison at Washington, D. C., for six months, when he was paroled. On his return to his native state he engaged in the practice of his profession for nine months in Perry county; was then detailed to take charge of the sick at the Alabama salt works in Clarke county, and at the end of another period of nine months joined the artillery at Mobile; was sent to Fort Gaines, where he was again captured, and for three months confined in the barracks at New Orleans, and for four months on Ship Island, and was exchanged at the latter place in January, 1865, returned home, resumed his practice and engaged in farming. In 1867 he married Miss Astoria J., daughter of Dr. John and Clarissa Shackleford, of Autauga county. Both these parents are now deceased, the father having died when Mrs. Davis was a little girl. He was a son of Gen. Shackelford, one of the pioneers and one of the most prominent citizens of Autuaga county. Dr. Davis abandoned the practice of his profession a few years after the close of the war, and since devoted his entire attention to his agricultural interests. He owns 1,350 acres of rich land, all secured by his own efforts. The doctor is a member of the Autaugaville lodge, No. 449, F. & A. M., and with his wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

JOSEPH FOSTER BARLOW4, son of John Harvin Barlow and Louisiana Deats, was born in 1869 in Alabama, and died 28 February 1929 in Bexar Co Texas. He was probably raised by the Deats family after his mother's death. I find it strange that none of John and Louisiana Deats children are listed in the 1870 census.

He married HATTIE M. ROKAHR. The daughter of Charles Rokahr and his wife Annie, she was born in 20 May 1881 in Illinois, and died 27 July 1913, burial in Evergreen Alameda Cemetery, El Paso, El Paso Co Texas. Tombstone Photo by Find-a-Grave

J.F. or J.I. Barlow, age 61, born in Alabama is a boarder in the Quintas home in Bexar Co Texas in 1920. The age is incorrect, and he is shown as single, but I believe it may be Joseph. Hattie may be deceased.
