Edward Barlow, of Pennsylvania and Utah

In 1988, Raleigh Barlowe, a descendent of Edward and Betty (Crompton) Barlow, published an excellent and very complete history of this family, entitled The Ancestral Heritage of George and Charlotte Barlow. Because this book covers this family so well only a basic compilation of Edward Barlow's descendents will be given here. Most of the information given here is from this book. Other sources of information, which are shown in brackets, have confirmed the accuracy of the data in the book.   (originally published in the November 1998 issue of Barlow of Barlow Newsletter, by Edson Barlow

Ann Hulme Barlow, daughter of George and Ann Barlow Hulme was born May 03, 1826 in Little Heaton, Lancashire, England. She was baptized into the Latter-day Saint Church in March, 1842. She was a hand weaver in one of the silk mills near Manchester. Ann married her cousin Thomas Barlow. Two children, Edward and Walker were born in England. Thomas and Ann with their sons left Liverpool on the ship Siddons February 27, 1855. When they arrived at Pittsburg, Thomas and Ann stopped to visit two brothers, George and Uri Hulme.

Thomas found employment in a confectionery and bakery and the family resided there six years during which time three more children were born to Ann, Elizabeth Ann, George Thomas and Abraham. When the baby was a few days old they started on their journey to Utah. The hardships of the journey were too much for Ann and she soon became ill. The baby died the 3rd of August 1861 and was buried by the wayside. Ann died sixteen days later and was buried on the left hand side of the road ten miles west of Deer Creek Station in Wyoming.

Thomas and their four children continued the journey and arrived in Salt Lake City the 13th of September, 1861 in the Joseph Horne company.
