Thomas Barlow Jr., Eliza Caldwell, and
Ann T. ~Talfonfa A.~ King


The records are a compilation of the works of John R. Barlow, Virginia, Edson Barlow, Lundie W. Barlow, Clinton D. Barlow, and myself, Susan BARLOW Holmes. This particular family has primarily been researched by John R. Barlow.  New information, obituaries and photographs added December 01, 2004, from Jane McAshan for the J.J. Barlow and Cornelia V. Lee family.

Update 2004:  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.

Update:  November 2004, I have searched census, etc., and added families from 1870 thru 1900, as found.   Susan

Thomas married 1) Eliza Caldwell, probably a daughter of Samuel Caldwell, on December 21, 1822 Laurens Co Georgia
Marriage Book C-80, by Justice of Inf. Court, John Fullwood

Eliza died between 1840 and 1845.

Sheriff Ira Stanley left in October 1826, a service copy of a lawsuit [Francis Ross vs. Thomas Green] at the residence of Thomas Barlow.
According to James Barlow's Bible Thomas Green married Catharine Barlow, probably a daughter of John and Jane 'Anderson' Barlow.

Thomas Barlow was appointed January 1829, guardian of Charles and Charlas Barlow orphans of John Barlow, $700 bond with Richard and James Barlow as securities.   Inf. Court Minutes 1822-33, p158

3 males under five - probably Merrett, George and John
2 males 10-14 - probably Charles and Charlas, sons of John Barlow
2 males 20-29 were probably Thomas [Sr.] and his half-nephew, Thomas Barlow, which may account for the below mention of Thomas Barlow Sr.
1 female 5-9 - probably Narcissa/Narcissus
1 female 20-29 - undoubtedly Eliza 'Caldwell' Barlow.

Thomas Barlow Sr., Administrator of the Estate of Stephen Folsom, deceased, sold on March 16, 1831 Laurens Co land at the Duplin, Georgia Courthouse to the highest bidder, Kinchen Phillips; witnessed by James Barlow, JP.

Laurens Co DR J-76 Thomas' involvement with the Folsom family is not understood, but the court awarded him an extra 2.5%, in addition to 5%, for his extra trouble with uncollectible notes, etc.    Inf. Court Minutes 1822-33, p 262

Mary Barlow, mother of Thomas, was probably not a Folsom - for reasons following:

Genealogy of the Folsom Family, pp 189, 321, FHL 1,036,669 item 14:
Stephen Folsom born October 10, 1781 in Newmarket New Hampshire, and died January 15, 1829 in Laurens Co Georgia, son of Benjamin Folsom born c1751 Newmarket, New Hampshire, and died February 21, 1790 Newburyport, Massachusetts, and Mary Baker, married Sarah, daughter of Oliver and Lydia Hale. They removed c1819 to near Duplin, Georgia, where he was a planter and merchant. His sister Mary -1780-1831- married in 1802 Durham, New Hampshire Ballard Pinkham who died in 1854.

Thomas Barlow, about to move out of Georgia, was ordered in December 1832 by the Laurens County Court to show cause why he should not be discharged from his guardianship of John Barlow's orphans; the action apparently brought by Anderson H. Barlow, a John Barlow heir.
Inf. Court Minutes 1822-33 p262

Eliza/Elizabeth 'Caldwell' Barlow probably died between 1840-45.   There is a grave at Rasco Graveyard, Dallas Co Alabama, for Elizabeth Barlow who died on March 05, 1840 that may be her. -unverified-

Thomas Barlow of the state of Alabama, bought November 08, 1860, land in Tyler Co Texas. He and his wife Talonfa were residents of Lowndes Co Alabama, at the time December 22, 1860 of his land sale in Caddo Parish Louisiana.   Tyler Co Deed Record H-169 and Caddo Parish Deed Book N-80. 

Thomas Barlow must have been a wealthy man to have purchased so much land [LA & TX] for his children while he remained in Lowndes Co Alabama. It is not known if he died in Alabama or Texas, but Merritt S. Barlow filed December 21, 1866, in Tyler Co Texas, probate case number twelve as the administrator of Thomas Barlow, deceased, and sold February 09, 1867, estate property of Thomas Barlow at his Tyler Co house.

I was unable to locate Talfonfa / Ann in the 1870 census. 

Children of Thomas Barlow and Eliza Caldwell were apparently:

i.

Merrett S. Barlow3 born June 05, 1826 Laurens Co Georgia, and died July 10, 1901 Town Bluff, Tyler Co Texas, burial in Town Bluff Cemetery.

He married Sarah Ann Denson, on May 03, 1855 Cass Co Texas by Thos. J. White, Clerk &  J.P.  / Cass Co Marriage Record 2-40 & 41   (one record shows her name as Vinson and the year 1856)

Sarah was born December 22, 1836 Rankin Co Mississippi and died May 09, 1875 in Tyler Co Texas, daughter of Jesse Denson and Sarah Henderson. She is buried in Town Bluff Cemetery, Tyler Co Texas.

This census also located, ten families distant from M.S. Barlow, the family of Charles Barlow, born c1822 Georgia and the family of S.D. [Samuel David] Caldwell, cousin to Merrett Barlow, located four families distant from M.S. Barlow.

Merrett Barlow may have been in Tyler Co Texas, by the time his father, Thomas Barlow, purchased on November 08, 1860 land there, a wide property that stretched from the Neches River on the east, to Beech Creek on the west. This 1,469 acre purchase, for $4,474, from the Andrew F. Smyth headright - November 24, 1841, Patent No. 590, excluded three acres sold to one James F. Walker off of the South West corner and four acres sold to one Jesse F. Walker where he now lives including his houses & Spring.   Tyler Co Deed Record H-169

This three acre parcel adjoined the northwest corner of the 320 acre James F. Walker Survey.   James F. Walker's daughter, Frances Ella, later married Merrett's son, B.B. 'Tang' Barlow.

Merrett Barlow had definitely relocated to Tyler County when he enlisted January 14, 1863, for three months, as a Texas State Trooper in Co. E, 2nd Brigade, at Concord, Texas. He was a private under Captain A.A. Aden, Stationed at Camp Gentry, Concord, Texas.   Geo. W. Van Vleck, B.G., inspector and mustering off. R & F 68. Merrett was detailed for artillery at Sabine Pass September 17, 1863 in Captain John Wheat's Company, 1 Reg't Inf., Texas State Troops and gave on January 29, 1864, his age as 37.

M.S. Barlow sold on February 09, 1867, at his Tyler Co house, as administrator on the estate of Thomas Barlow, property for cash totaling $200.40.

After advertising April 08 - 15 - 22- 29, 1871 in the News-Boy, a Jasper, Texas weekly newspaper, M.S. Barlow sold May 31, 1871 Thomas Barlow's Tyler Co property at the Woodville, Texas courthouse. The sale was made under said order of sale for the payment of the debts and expenses of administration of said Estate.    Tyler Co Probate Records; Deed Record H-173 & 174

M.S. Barlow sold May 03, 1871, at the Woodville courthouse door, to M.J. Phillips, for $1,451.22, Thomas Barlow's property on the west bank of the Neches River, but bought October 01, 1871 the same property from M.J. Phillips for $1,450. M.S. Barlow sold January 06, 1875 100 acres of this property, for $100, to Thomas Collier, with witnesses S.A.  [Sarah Ann] Barlow and Z.C. [Zachariah Cowart 'Zack'] Collier.
Tyler Co Deed Record H-173, 174, 175, 176, 576, 577

Zack Collier's store, which was built on this property, has been reconstructed at Heritage Village Museum near Woodville, Texas

Apparently Sarah has died, before 1875, and Merrett has remarried.

Thus, it appears that Sallie is the daughter of Merrit and Nancy, seeing that her mothers birth was in Alabama, while the other children's mother was born in Mississippi.

Apparently, Merritt and Nancy C. separated or divorced by 1900, because on June 13, Nancy is living with her widowed son-in-law, Marlin Crow, stating she was widowed, while Merritt is living with son Thomas H. on June 14, stating he was widowed!

Nancy states that she had borned 4 children, 1 living.  Since John R. Barlow states that Sallie died after 1923, I assume she is the living daughter.  I do not know whether Mr. Crow's wife was a step-daughter of Merritt, or if perhaps Nancy and Merrit had another daughter besides Sallie whom he married.   I suppose that Mr. Crow's wife may even have been one of Merrit's daughters, and a step daughter of Nancy, although all have been accounted for in this record, except Lizzie. 

Children of Merrett S. Barlow and Sarah Ann Denson were probably:

Mary Elizabeth 'Chick' Barlow, born February 26, 1856 Louisiana and died April 27, 1932, possibly in Kirbyville, Texas
Mary Eliza Barlow married Joseph Lee Lazenby, b 23 Oct 1848 in AL and d 5 Sept 1938 in Kirbyville, Jasper Co, TX.

Their children were:

Sarah Frances (Fannie) b. 10 July 1875 in Tyler Co. TX   Fannie married James Hignett on 1 Sept 1907. She died in April 1961 in Jasper Co, TX.

Ella Cleona b. 1 March 1877 in Tyler Co, TX    Ella married John A. Lewis on 13 March 1907. She died on 19 June 1947 in Jasper Co, TX.

Lottie Lazenby b. 23 Sept 1880 in Tyler Co, TX    Lottie married Dr. U. B. Ogden on 10 Jan 1900. She died on 26 Nov 1936 in Victoria, TX.

Charles Spurgeon b. 20 Nov 1883 in Tyler Co, TX   Charles married Fannie Ogden (a brother to U.B.) on 3 Oct 1909. He died in 1972 in Jasper Co, Tx. For years, he was the only dentist in Kirbyville, Tx.

Jesse Benjamin b. 15 Sept 1887 in Tyler Co, TX Jesse Benjamin married Artie West on 15 May 1920. He died on 14 Oct 1972. Jesse Benjamin had two children: Cecil Lee Lazenby b. 8 August 1922   Mary Wyndell Lazenby b. 3 May 1925 . She died 11 Feb 2001    Mary Wyndell married Jack Holmes on 27 April 1945. They had three children. Dinah Lee Holmes, Velma Jack Holmes, Patricia Ann Holmes

Mable Lazenby b. 1 Oct 1892 in Tyler Co, TX    Mabel Lazenby never married. She died on 19 Sept 1976 in Texas. For years, she was a hairdresser in Houston, Tx.

 

Thomas Bunyan Barlow, born August 30, 1857 Louisiana and died October 06, 1863, burial in Town Bluff Cemetery, Tyler Co Texas.

Jasper Barlow, born c1858 Louisiana and died before 1870

Benjamin Beauregard 'Tang' Barlow, born February 08, 1861 Louisiana or Texas and died April 06, 1930 in Tyler Co Texas, burial in Town Bluff Cemetery, Tyler Co Texas
Benjamin is listed in the census of 1930, enumerated a few weeks after his death, so this death date doesn't seem to work for him. Another Tyler Texas death record shows a Ben Barlow dying March 18, 1945 that is more likely him.  SEH   Ordering a copy of the death certificate should clear this up. 

He married Frances Ella "Frankie" Walker, October 29, 1890 Tyler Co Texas. Frankie was the daughter of James Franklin Walker and Nancy Howard, born July 20, 1864 and died May 06, 1953, in Spurger Texas, burial in Town Bluff Cemetery, Tyler Co Texas.

Winnifred 'Freddie or Fred' Barlow, born March 25, 1871 and died 1910.   Does anyone know if she married, and if so, to whom?

Child of Merrit S. and Nancy C. is:

Note that in 1900, Town Bluff, Tyler Co Texas, Benjamin, Thomas H. and Merrit are listed on page 194, while on page 191, I find a Vivien Barlow, age 9, living in the home of her aunt, Ella Collier.    Census Image
In 1910, Vivian is age 19, living with John and Kate Walker, not far from Thomas.  Census Image
In 1920, she is 26, and still living with John and Katherine Walker, but this time she is listed as their step daughter.  Census Image
Can anyone identify this child?    I think she would have been born c1891.

Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northwest Louisiana, 1890

Dr. John R. R. Harrison is one of the oldest settlers of Caddo Parish, Louisiana, having been a resident of this place since 1846. He was born in Fairfield District, South Carolina, March 26, 1824, his parents Willoughby and Elizabeth 'Rieve' Harrison, being also born there, the former dying in Lowndes Co, Alabama, when the subject of this sketch was four years of age.

He had been a soldier in the War of 1812 and had moved from South Carolina to Alabama shortly after his marriage. His father, Willoughby Harrison, was a South Carolinian, and was a Revolutionary soldier, taking part in many battles. In the State of Alabama, Dr. John R.R. Harrison grew to manhood, but since 1846, as above stated, he has been a resident of Caddo Parish.

He was a student of medicine under Dr. John Hall, in Alabama, and with some additional study after coming to Louisiana, he, in 1854, graduated from the University of New Orleans, and has since practiced in Caddo Parish, nearly half a century, his practice extending over a very large area. He has made a special study of the eye, and during his practice has effected some miraculous cures, a number of his patients being pronounced incurable by New Orleans specialists and the physicians of Shreveport. He has been a very successful financier, and has become the owner of 3,940 acres of fine land, all in Ward 2, and has 600 acres under cultivation.

He was married July 04, 1845, to Miss Narcissus Barlow, whose father, Thomas Barlow, was a Georgian, moving afterward to Alabama. She was born in Georgia, but was reared in Alabama, and died July 13, 1890, having been a member of the Missionary Baptist Church from girlhood. She became the mother of one son, who died during the war, when sixteen years of age.

Dr. Harrison is a member of, and has been deacon in the Missionary Baptist Church, and socially is a Royal Arch Mason, which order he joined in Alabama, prior to coming to Louisiana. He is a member of the Farmers' Alliance, and is a Democrat, politically.

During the late war he was detailed to practice medicine in this parish.

Thomas Barlow and wife Talfonfa A., of Lowndes Co Alabama, residing in the state of Alabama, sold December 22, 1860 to John R.R. Harrison, land in township 21, range 15. Caddo Parish Deed Book N-807   Surely some of this land came from the 320 acres Thomas Barlow purchased April 07, 1852 from William C. Lary, of Harrison Co Texas, for $640, as the east half of S2:T21:R15. Caddo Parish Deed Book G-830

George Henry Barlow3  was June 06, 1809 in Virginia, and died November 11, 1868  in Natchitoches Parish Louisiana, burial in American Cemetery, Natchitoches Parish Louisiana.

He married Mary Tucker.  She was born May 03, 1814 in Duck Creek, Hancock Co Tennessee, and died June 19, 1894 in Natchitoches Parish Louisiana, burial in American Cemetery, Natchitoches Parish Louisiana.

NOTICE:  Thomas Haralson has just pointed out the date of George' birth, and finds that he cannot be the son of Thomas Jr.  Can anyone verify who the parents of George might be?   Is he even of the Isle of Wight lineage?      Note from Susan:  I would suggest that George is likely a brother to Thomas Jr.

George was involved in two land transactions, October 01, 1852 and September 15, 1854, in Natchitoches  Parish, Louisiana -unverified-

George H. Barlow, of Caddo Parish Louisiana, bought in 1856 Lots 7 & 8, Block 18, city of Shreveport, from Frances E. Sprague, of New Orleans. G.H. Barlow sold in 1857 these lots to John Hursey.    Caddo Parish Deed Index DB I-57 & K-651

Land Record Natchitoches Parish, October 01, 1852             Land Record Natchitoches Parish, September 15, 1854

Children of George and Mary, probably all born in Natchitoches Parish Louisiana, are:

Mary Amelia Barlow, born November 07, 1831 and died 19 April 19, 1908 in Tilden, Texas (source:  Tom Donalson)

She married John Teal.

C.H. Teal, Grant Parish, Louisiana  (son of Mary and John)

Among the enterprising business houses of this town, whose operations are worthy of record in a work of this kind, is that of Mr. C.H. Teal, who is classed among the first class merchants of Colfax. He was born in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, in 1851, and his parents, John and Amelia Barlow Teal, were natives of Louisiana.

Their paternal ancestors emigrated to Louisiana from Tennessee at an early day, probably about 1828, and located in Natchitoches Parish. The paternal grandfather located there about the same time and owned the Tessier place in 1850 as it now stands. He followed planting up to 1860, when he sold out and engaged in merchandising which he carried on until his death.

John Teal, father of our subject, emigrated to Texas in 1855, selling his plantation and slaves, and moved to Refugio County, Texas, where he bought wild land. He has since been engaged in the stock business, and still resides there, being considered one of the big stock men of the Lone Star State.

To his marriage have been born nine children, eight of whom are living at the present time. The first death that occurred in the Teal family was in 1885, when John H., son of C.H. Teal, received his final summons.

The family then numbered over forty persons.

C.H. Teal, the eldest of the nine children born to his parents, was principally reared in Texas, and educated in the common schools of that State.

The portion of the State they were then living in was for the most part prairie land, and neighbors were few and far between. In 1875, C. H. Teal located in Grant Parish, engaged in planting, & also established a stock depot on Lillie Bend plantation, which he carried on in connection with planting until 1880. He then moved to Colfax and became sheriff of Grant Parish, under the new constitution, holding the position for four years.

At that time there was some feeling among the parishes forming that district, as to which parish was entitled to the nomination. Mr. Teal consented to be put up by (his) Grant Parish in the contest, all delegates having withdrawn from the convention, and each parish run its own favorite son.

He was then put up for the Senate, but was defeated by thirty six votes.

He has been in the mercantile business since 1880 and has an extensive and lucrative trade. He is also the owner of 350 acres of alluvial land on Red River, adjacent to the town of Colfax, and has 1,000 acres of fine piney. He is now engaged in stock farming and has a fine pasture. He started the hay enterprise in Grant Parish, which he finds very lucrative. In fact Mr. Teal is one of the leading men of this section of the State, and is identified with all its public enterprises.

He was married in 1875 to Miss Cora McLaCour, by whom he has two daughters:

Mary and Louise

C.H. Teal is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having joined that organization in Rockport Tx

Mr. John Barlow 1827 - 1862

The Alabama Baptist    20 November 1862

Many a heart has been made sad, and many of the noble sons of the South have passed from time to eternity since the commencement of the present war; but few purer or better men have died than the subject of this brief notice, Mr. John BARLOW, son of Deacon Thomas Barlow, of Lowndes county, Ala.

He was born December 3rd, 1827, and died at Charlottsville, Virginia, July 17th, 1862. In early youth he embraced religion and became a member of the Baptist Church, and ever adorned the profession he had made - prompt to all the duties of the Church; quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, he was esteemed most by those who knew him best.

In 1859 he moved to Texas, and at the call of his country he entered the army, 1st Texas Regiment, Hoods Brigade, and while performing the duties of a soldier he fell a victim to disease, away from father, brother and sisters, with no Kindred to cheer in his last moments. But those whom he best loved on earth, though they lament his loss, are cheered by the confident belief that the Redeemer was near, to sustain him in his last moments and conduct him safely through the dark vally and shadow of death.

May a kind Providence watch over the entire family thus bereaved that ultimately it may be a family saved in Heaven, no wanderer lost.
