JOSEPH1 BARLOW died abt. 1704 in Chester Co Pennsylvania

Elaine Jeter sends the following, January 2006:  I recently purchased a reprint of "The Lancaster Family; A History of  Thomas and Phebe Lancaster of Bucks County, Pennsylvania and Their descendants from 1711 to 1902".  Published by Harry Fred Lancaster, Columbia City, Indiana, 1902. (reprinted privately, 2005).

I have always thought the Joseph Barlow immigrants of PA were most likely from Yorkshire or Cheshire in England, chiefly because those were the places that many of the Quakers lived, and they had plenty of Barlows also. However, I have just turned up an interesting statement recorded by Rachel (Lancaster) Benson 1790-1886 (yes she managed to get to be 96 years old), who was the daughter of Jesse Lancaster 1751-1833 (he was the oldest son of Rachel Barlow 1728-1796 and Benjamin Lancaster 1731-1791). Citation is from p.280 of the Lancaster book cited above.

"Benjamin Lancaster, my grandfather, married Rachel Barlow, whose parents came from Wales, and had five children: Jesse (my father), Joseph, Ann, Benjamin and Nathan. They removed to Maryland about the close of the Revolutionary War, I judge, and before any of the children were married.

"I cannot tell whether he bought the land, or it was granted to him, however he owned several hundred acres thereabout, made the first improvement at the White House <in Hartford County MD> and lived there long after. Then, after my mother died, <they> (i.e., Benjamin Lancaster and Rachel Barlow Lancaster) came and kept house and ended their days here."

Elaine's comments:

Perhaps Joseph Barlow with his son Joseph (and maybe even a wife ???) came from Wales rather than from Cheshire or Yorkshire (where we have always suspected he originated). The above is difficult to decipher because there are too darned many Rachels in the family, but here's what I think it means:

Benjamin must have known that his parents (Thomas and Phebe <Wardell> Lancaster) had come from England, so one presumes that Rachel (Lancaster) Benson could have actually known from her own grandmother that the Barlows came from Wales rather than from England. In any case she obviously believed that was their origin. Rachel (Barlow) Lancaster died in 1796, Benjamin Lancaster died in 1791. Rachel (Lancaster) Benson was the daughter of Mary Parsons, Wife #2 of Jesse Lancaster 1751-1833. Mary (Parsons) Lancaster probably died in 1790 [the same year that Rachel (Lancaster) Benson was born]; Jesse (her father) did not remarry until around 1795 or 1796 <he married Elizabeth Dyer at that time> which would be about the time that Jesse's mother (Rachel Barlow Lancaster) died. So this all makes sense if dissected. That being said, Rachel (Lancaster) Benson was about 5 or 6 years old when Rachel (Lancaster) Barlow died, so she would probably remember her grandmother who lived with tthe family, but it seems doubtful she would have conversed with her about where her parents had come from ??? On the other hand, her father Jesse certainly must have known...

At this point I think it is entirely possible that the Barlows immigrated from Wales rather than from Yorkshire or Cheshire. I guess we can't go wrong with "British Isles". ? At least I think we need to give some weight to the Welsh possibility.

JOSEPH2 BARLOW (JOSEPH1) was born c1690 possibly in Chester Co Pennsylvania or British Isles, and died c1738 in Limerick Twp, Philadelphia Co Pennsylvania

He married ANN EVANS after 1720 probably in Limerick Township, Philadelphia Co Pennsylvania, daughter of JOHN EVANS and JEAN TEATE.   She was born c1692, and died 1744 Limerick Twp, Philadelphia Co Pennsylvania.

JOSEPH BARLOW:    Probate records located in Chester County refer to the death of a Joseph Barlow in 1704, with the inheritance going to his son, Joseph Barlow.  In any case, it does appear that the family was a Quaker family.   EJ 8/31/99

ANN EVANS:    Widow of Mathew Brooke, 1680-1720

Edson Barlow note:   Matthew Brooke died June 18, 1720, at Limerick, Montgomery Co Pennsylvania.  After the death of Mathew Brooke, she married Joseph Barlow, and the title of the acreage belonging to Mathew Brooke was titled to Joseph Barlow. She was still living on November 12, 1743, when she sold the property to her son, Matthew Brooke.

ABIGAIL3 BARLOW married ORTLIP, name cited as Attlip in will of George Brooke d 1761

It is  probable that one of her sons was named Israel Ortlip (b.abt 1757). Israel Ortlip had a daughter named Susan Ortlip (b.abt 1770) who married John Coryell, and one of her Coryell daughters b.1812 was given the name Abigail Barlow Coryell. It is difficult to believe that this name selection could have been by chance.   EJ 2004

We know that Ann's husband was named "Uptergrave" (however spelled), and we assumed (based on the will of her half-brother, George Brooke, d. 1761) that he was likely to be Abraham, since Abraham is also named in that will. However,  despite considerable work, I have been unable to find the sort of  "proof" that sticks for this marriage (wills, marriages, baptisms,  etc.), so I went looking through the "Updegrave" families to find a better candidate. You never know if you will find them as Opd..., Upd... Upt... Graff, Graef, Grave, Grove, etc. etc.

What I found is this:

Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834:   UPDEGRAVE, EDWARD. Perkiomen and Skippack.   March 11, 1775. November 24, 1787. 1.129

To wife Ann income of estate until son Joseph is 21. Afterward he to pay to wife yearly 7 pds. and maintenance. To son Joseph, 1 s. To son in law, Jacob Clemens, 1 s. To daughter Ann Clemens, 1 s.

Exec: Wife Ann Updegrave. Wit: John Lukens, John Edwards, Gottshalk Gottshalk.

So here is Edward "Updegrave" who is exactly the right age, with a wife named "Ann" and a son named "Joseph". Joseph is NOT a usual  family-name for the Updegrave's, but Ann Barlow's father and grandfather both bore that name. Very interesting... The will also tells us that son Joseph Updegrave was not yet 21 in the year 1787; and that daughter Ann Clemens' husband was Jacob Clemens. There are, of course, about a  zillion "Jacob Clemens" guys, but because I am also descended from the immigrant Gerhardt Clemens, I knew exactly which one: Jacob b Apr 12, 1749, d Jan.27, 1823, whose parents were Jacob b. abt 1704 d.1782 and Barbara Clemmer.

So for these reasons, I am concluding that Ann Barlow (d/o Joseph) did NOT marry Abraham Updegrave; instead her husband must have been Edward Updegrave. Edward's parents were Jacob Updegrave / Opdegrave b.1687 in Germantown, and Anneken IndeHoven / TenHeuve / DeHaven (another varying Dutch name, drat!!). Jacob Updegrave and Anneken were married in Bensalem, Bucks County, Apr 9, 1712 (Dutch Reformed Church). Their son Edward was born ca. 1720, so he is certainly the right age to be Ann Barlow's husband.

RACHEL3 BARLOW (JOSEPH2, JOSEPH1) was born March 03, 1727/28, and died 1796.

She married BENJAMIN LANCASTER October 26, 1749 in Prb. Gwynedd Monthly Meeting of Quakers, Montgomery Co, son of THOMAS LANCASTER and PHEBE WARDELL.  He was born December 31, 1731 in Wrightstown, Bucks Co Pennsylvania, and died 1791.

Rachel and her husband, Benjamin Lancaster moved to Harford Co Maryland in 1786 [Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks County]

1769; Rachel's family is part of the Gunpowder Monthly Meeting; August 31, 1769, note is made of her Daughter, Ann Lancaster, being "guilty of fornication and having a bastard child." Subsequent minutes show that her mother (i.e., Rachel) knew of the young man in the "liberty of her house", and that her father, Benjamin, had "taken to strong drink."

1770: Gunpowder Monthly Meeting: Rachel Lancaster, wife of Benjamin Lancaster, and four of her children, Jesse, Joseph, Benjamin and Nathan, were received into membership by a certificate from Deer Creek Monthly Meeting, dated 29th day of <??no month> 1770.

Members of this family are listed on several Gunpowder Upper 100 taxlists in Colonial and early Maryland state.

Benjamin Lancaster moved to Harford Co Maryland in 1768 (cf. Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks XXVI p.331)

He is most likely the Joseph Barlow who was enumerated in 1790 living in Washington Co Maryland. For census, Washington County reached all the way to the far western tip of MD - Alleghany County was created in 1789, but was not used by the census enumerators. It appears that his descendants may have moved into Fayette Co Pennsylvania around 1800 or so.   EJ 2005

ELIZABETH3 BARLOW (JOSEPH2, JOSEPH1) was born 1729, and died December 11, 1796 in Richland Twp., Bucks Co Pennsylvania

She married JOHN LANCASTER November 15, 1753 in Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, son of THOMAS LANCASTER and PHEBE WARDELL. He was born February 10, 1732/33 in Wrightstown, Bucks Co Pennsylvania, and died February 26, 1791 in Richland Twp., Bucks Co Pennsylvania

From Early Friends of Upper Bucks County, XXVI, p.332:

John Lancaster, son of Thomas and Phebe (Wardell) Lancaster, born near Wrightstown, Bucks County , 12 mo. 10 1732/33, removed with his parents to Richland at the age of 8 years and spent the remainder of his life there. In the partition of his father's real estate he was allotted the "Mansion House" and fifteen acres near the center of the 400-acre plantation. He later acquired, piece by piece, the allotments of his brothers and sisters, until he owned 235 acres of the homestead prior to his death on 2 mo.26, 1791. He was, like his father and mother, an accepted minister of the Society of Friends and a diligent and earnest member of Richland Monthly Meeting. He married, at Gwynedd Monthly Meeting, 11 mo. 15, 1753, Elizabeth Barlow, a sister to Rachel, the wife of his elder brother Benjamin. She was born 1729 and died 12 mo. 11, 1796

cf. Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks, xxvi, p.332
She was the grandmother of William Emley, who married Ann Edwards of Quakertown.   She was the grandmother of Hannah Stokes, who married Charles Williams of Cheltenham.

JOHN3 BARLOW I (JOSEPH2, JOSEPH1) was born after 1730 in Limerick Twp, Montgomery Co Pennsylvania, and died after 1800 in Limerick Twp, Montgomery Co Pennsylvania.

He married HANNAH SAVAGE December 17, 1760 in New Hanover, Montgomery Co Pennsylvania. She was born about 1740.

His father's name was Joseph Barlow, who was one of the early settlers of Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in 1734, the following landholders were recorded in Limerick Township: Edward Nichols, 600 A; John Davy, 300; Enoch Davis, 300; John Kendall, 300; Owen Evans, 400; William Evans, 300; Joseph Barlow, 400; Peter Umstead, 250; Oliff (or Adolf) Pennypacker (Pennebacher) 250; Henry Reyner, 100; William Woodly, 150; Jonathan Woodly, 300; William Malsby, 200; Henry Peterson, 200; Peter Peterson, 100; Nicholas Custer, 7; Hironemus Haas, 250; Lawrence Rinker, 50; Stephen Miller, 170; Barnaby Coulson, 50; Martin Kolb, 150.
Reference: History of Montgomery County 1884

In the assessment of 1776, following taxables listed:
Henry Yost and John Davis, weavers, Peter Gerhart and John Sheef, blacksmiths; James Evans, joiner; Henry Ford, Conrad Eckleman and Michael Deemer, tailors, Yost Filman, cordwainer; and John Stetler and Peter Aichner, inn-keepers.

1776 assessment:
Matthew Brooke, 350 acres, 3 negroes, 4 horses and 8 cattle;
James Brooke, 160 acres, 1 negro, 2 horses, 3 cattle, and noted a loss by fire;
Rachel Brooke [widow of William Brooke, s/o Matthew Brooke], 190 acres, 1 horse, 2 cattle
George Brooke was mentioned as a tenant;
Benjamin and Thomas Brooke as single men.

Will of George Brooke [d.1761] calls John Barlow a "step-brother".   John was actually a half-brother of George - they had the same mother.
Reference: Pennsylvania Wills 1682-1834

Referred to in the will of John Barlow, born 1763; his sister.   Married name was Corbin in the will of John Barlow, her brother.

This name has been improperly transcribed as "Rebecca" in some genealogy resources.   Copy of original will has been examined; name there is Rebeah. EJ

Another transcribed source, may be inaccurate or may refer to another unidentified Barlow: "Rebecca Barlow, married William Curden 19 June 1797, Swedes Church, Philadelphia".   Original document has not been examined; unsure whether this is the sister of John Barlow. EJ

ELIZABETH DYER:  Citation from Maryland Marriages 1778-1800, p.131.    Birthdate may be July rather than September. EJ 2005

From Quaker Records of Northern Maryland, p.56:

1770: Deer Creek Monthly Meeting: 3d day of 7th month, 1777, Ann Weeks (formerly Lancaster) requested a certificate to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting.

The children of Ann Weeks are listed dated 1778, 25th day of 7th mo. in the Gunpowder MM, p.72 of Quaker Records of Northern MD 1716-1800:  John Lancaster, Rachel, Matthew, Lydia, Benjamin

Enoch Williams, of Harford County, son of William Williams of Gwynedd Township in Philadelphia County, Philadelphia, and his wife Ellenor, deceased, m. Ann Weeks, widow of Daniel Weeks, deceased, and dau. of Benjamin and Rachel Lancaster, of Harford County, at Little Falls Meeting House on 5th day of 11th month, 1778. ... Among the witnesses were Rachel Barlow Lancaster, Benjamin Lancaster, Jesse and Joseph Lancaster.

John Lancaster is apparently the "bastard child" she bore in 1769 (from Gunpowder MM records, see note under her mother Rachel Barlow Lancaster - EJ)

Is this her? Probably not, since she moved to Baltimore around 1797. EJ
Rachel Weeks found in:  Marriage Index: Maryland, 1655-1850   Married: Jan. 08, 1812 in: Harford Co Maryland   Spouse name: Scarbrough, Isaac

Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks County, XXVI, p.334.

Quaker records show that this family was received into the Burlington MM group in 1813. Harriet, John, William, Morris, and Samuel are names of children.

In 1820, Quaker records show that they affiliated with the Abington MM in PA.

Marriage from records of Reverend William Rogers DD

JOHN BARLOW III, born August 12, 1790, Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; and died April 23, 1847, Limerick Township, Montgomery, Pennsylvania.

Susanna was widow of Joel Barlow, the brother of Phoebe. Joel died 1832. She is "Hollonbush" in one reference; but the correct name appears to be either Hollowbush or Hallowbush. EJ 6/98

Another name possibility: transcribed marriage records show this marriage as between Joel Barlow and "Susann Hollenbach" at New Hanover Lutheran Church, Montgomery County 26 December 1822

Thomas is probably the son of Levi Lancaster Benson, prb. by first wife, Elizabeth Sharp. EJ

Samuel's name is shown as 'Crossan' in the marriage record, but other records show him to be a Methodist Minister named Samuel Clawson - the marriage record was incorrect, probably written down by a clerk who didn't bother much with spelling, and maybe had a lisp as well.
