James of Virginia, William of Georgia

Descendants of

WILLIAM BARLOW of Georgia

Son of
JAMES BARLOW of Virginia

Cotton to Kaolin:
A History of Washington County, Georgia 1784 - 1989
Contains information on all the children of William & Edith and goes down several generations. A copy can be found in the Washington Memorial Library's Genealogy Department in Macon, Georgia. Most of these children settled in Bleckley, Pulaski, & Dodge Counties in Middle Georgia. The information herein is mainly on my line from these books. Many people in these Middle Georgia counties can trace their family lines back to William and Edith.

James Barlow is of Irish descendancy based on family knowledge that has been handed down over all the
generations. My maternal grandmother has talked of her gr-gr-grandmother, Lucinda "Lucy" Barlow Brantley, who's grandfather, James, was Irish. Apparently, Lucy had talked often of it to her children
and it has been passed on to us over the years. There is no doubt in my mind that this family is of Irish origins, but I have no idea where they came from in Ireland. More research will need to be done in these areas.
