MR. BARLOW married ELIZABETH _______ 
Based completely on location, I have concluded that the John Barlow found in Sumter Co Georgia in the 1840 census is the husband of Elizabeth.  I was unable to locate him after this 1840 census.  Also note that 2 Phillips families live in close proximity.  I also believe these will be a part of the Isle of Wight Virginia families, but I am unable to determine who might be his father.
1840 Sumter Co Georgia, John Barlow:     1 male <5    2 males 5>10   1 male 30<40    /   1 female <5   3 females 5<10  1 female 10<15    1 female 30<40     Census Image    The male count would be correct to coincide with the 1850 census, while there are too many females.

Is this Elizabeth and Wilson?  Could E. Smith be Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth?

4. WILSON HUES BARLOW2 was born March 15, 1835 in Barbour Co Alabama

He married MARY ANN BROWN on 02 January 1862 in Sumter Co Georgia.
Wilson Hues Barlow married to Mary A. Brown on January 02, 1862 in Sumter Co Georgia.   According to Eldora's birth certificate, her mother's maiden name was Allen.  So is the marriage of Wilson and Mary Brown the same people we are researching.  
On March 05, 1863, Wilson Hues Barlow enlisted in the Confederate Army, GA 51rst Infantry, Co G, at Newton, Baker Co Georgia.  Discharged at the end of the war while in a hospital in Macon Georgia.

Wilson H. Barlow, age 35, born in Alabama, Mary A. Barlow, age 24, born in Alabama, John W. Barlow, age 1, born in Alabama, and John S. Dudley, age 30, born in Georgia
The family removed to Orange Co Florida about 1873, his pension application of 1907, tells that he had been a resident if that county for 34 years.
In 1876, W.H. Barlow is a registered voter in Orange Co Florida
June 1880, Prct 3, Orange Co Florida, pg 437, #101/158    Census Image
W.H. Barlow, age 45, born in Alabama, both parents born in Georgia, Mary A. Barlow, wife, age 38, she and both parents born in Georgia, John W. Barlow, son, age 17, born in Georgia, J.C. Barlow, daughter, age 7, born in Georgia, Eldora Barlow, daughter, age 4, born in Florida, and M.M. Barlow, son, age 1, born in Florida
In 1884, Wilson H. Barlow has been granted 127.44 acres land in Seminole Co Florida
1886 Orange Co Florida State Census
Massiner, John Massiner, head, age 53, he and both parents born in Georgia, L. Massiner, wife, age 53, she and both parents born in Georgia, J.L. Gifford [M], relationship not shown, age 27, born in Alabama, both parents born in Georgia, W.H.

Browder, no relationship shown, age 35, he and both parents born in Kentucky
If the W.H. in this census is Wilson, then he has aged 13 years in 6, and Mary has aged only 1 year. 
Wilson H. Barlow of Maitland, married Mrs. Mary A. Alexander of Orlando on 05 September 1894, Orange Co Marriage records, Volume I, Book 4, page 395
Is this the same Wilson H. Barlow we are researching?  I did find this Mary A. Barlow, age 55, born July 1844 in South Carolina in the home of Charles S. and Emma Alexander, where she is shown as a widow.   1900, Orlando City, Orange Co Florida   We know that our Wilson is not deceased, but it is not unusual for a couple who has separated to say they are widowed in these census records. 
I could not locate Wilson in a 1900 census. 
Wilson states in his pension application of 1907 that he is the father of one son and three daughters, all of whom were living at that time. It appears that Wilson is alone, no property, he lives "amongst" his children and has no means of support.   Apparently either John or M.M. Barlow is deceased at the time of the filing.
Pension Application, filed 1907     pg 1   pg 2    pg 3    pg 4    pg 5    pg 6    pg 7    pg 8    pg 9    pg 10    pg 11    pg 12    pg 13
Pension Application, filed 1909    pg 1    pg 2     pg 3     pg 4     pg 5    pg 6     pg 7     pg 8
No further records have been found.

Eldora Barlow Griffin
Marriage License of Alfred and Eldora
Alfred was an immigration officer / Chinese inspector. He worked in Massachusetts, all over Arizona, New Mexico, El Paso, Texas, and all along the Mexican border.  Transferred to Florida, New Orleans, and New York.

Eldora lived in San Luis Obispo, California during his later transfers, with four of the children. The fifth child, Alfred, my father was sent to Massachusetts to live with relatives in Westboro, I believe.  Alfred Sr was finally transferred to San Francisco to be near his family, where he died.
