Henry Barlow, son of Jesse and Julia A. Knickerbocker Barlow

Henry Barlow, Gs-146, was born on February 18, 1825, at Amenia, New York [HA], and was recorded living with his parents at Amenia in the 1850 census and  with his own family at Amenia in the 1860 census. He died on December 24, 1903, at Hinsdale, Massachusetts [HA], and was buried in the South Amenia Cemetery.

From Barlow & Allied Families: "Henry Barlow moved to Amenia, New York, to Peru, Massachusetts, in the highlands of the Berkshires, 1000 feet above sea level and in the fall of 1893, went to Hinsdale, Massachusetts. He was known as a candid, frank man, was well informed, and was well liked by all who knew him; but the money getting trait that is so well marked in some families, was lacking in him as well as in other branches of the Barlow family. His father left him a comfortable property, but Henry Barlow went into the manufacturing business, of which he knew nothing, and suffered financially, thereby."

From One Branch of the Barlow family, by Ruth Elnora Barlow, 1964: Henry Barlow was born and grew up on the family farm in Amenia, New York. He had no special bent for farming, and decided to become a lawyer. In the early 1840's, he went to Madison County, New York, where his father's oldest brother was a lawyer and judge. As was custom in those days, he expected to "study law" with his uncle, but after a couple of years, he also gave up that plan. He returned home to Amenia, and in time went into a small wood-working business with his brother-in-law, Orville Benton.

This business apparently prospered for awhile, but the financial panic of 1874 entirely ruined it. The home farm had meanwhile been sold, so after a few years, Henry who now had a large growing familywas able to secure a farm at a bargain in Peru, Massachusetts, to which place he moved in 1877, and where he stayed until his death in 1903."

"Henry Barlow held some public offices, both at Amenia, and at Peru, but never to the extent that his father and grandfather had done. He was well read, and very interested in world affairs and scientific advancement. He remarked the last year of his life that he would like to live another fifty years just to see what the scientist's would discover saying, ' They have just scratched the surface.' Ill health and advancing years finally forced him to give up active farming, and he spent the last winter of his life with his son, William Benton Barlow, in Hinsdale, Massachusetts. Soon afterward, William returned to Amenia, and now none of the family live in that part of Massachusetts."
