Ambrose was a pioneer settler in Barren County and has
the " grain of metal and hardness that characterized
many settlers."
He and his sons would go by flat boat to New Orleans starting
at Barren River which partly circles Fountain Run, Kentucky.
The Barlow cave located on the H.M. Pardue farm, was originally
owned by Charlie Barlow, grandson of Ambrose.
Ambrose resided for some years near Danville, Kentucky
and in 1801 purchased an extensive track of famous cave
land lying on the waters of Boyd's Creek in Barren
County.
He moved thence to Monroe Co, Ambrose
died August 13, 1839 and was buried on the Bush /
Barlow graveyard owned by his son Ambrose Powell Barlow
and later by Buell Hunt.
His tombstone inscription reads
"An Honest Man's the Noblest Work of God"
A memorial tombstone was erected for him and his wife
in Glasgow Municiple Cemetary due to the very poor condition
of the Bush Barlow Cemetary
Children are listed in the Black Family Bible 1769 - December
14, 1849
A.C. Goodwin notes on Ambrose Barlow:
So far as I know, I have no clear connections to any Barlows,
but my family has been associated with Barlows since Germanna
days. My interest in Ambrose Barlow (b. 1766) and his daughter
Margaret Barlow Souther is based on interest in Margaret's
Souther descendants, who have been confused with my own
Souther lineage. Thus, I am no authority on much of the
Barlow family. Still, I can offer the results of some research
on Barren Co Kentucky Barlows:
The IGI has caused an error in the reported
first marriage for Elizabeth 'Betsey' Barlow4 (Henry3,
Jacob2, Christopher1) in Barren Co Kentucky. The marriage
instead is for Elizabeth 'Betsey' Barlow4 (Ambrose3, of
Adam2, Christopher1). IGI undoubtedly mistranscribed Bush
as Burke. The actual bride's identity is clear from the
record. "James Bush to
Betsy Barlow. Consent of father Ambrose Barlow. Md. on
02 March 1811 by John Howe."* This James Bush was
actively involved in the 1820s in the estate affairs of
Joseph Souther, whose widow Margaret Barlow Souther was
sister to Betsy Barlow Bush. The Bushes lived, at least
for a time, in adjacent Monroe Co Kentucky.
*Reneau, Martha Powell, 1984, Marriage Records of Barren
Co Kentucky 1799-1849, [no place, apparently residence
at 562 Beaver Valley, Glasgow, KY 42141], FHL #976.972/V2n,
page 32.
Next, Joshua Barlow3 ( Adam2, Christopher1)
apparently lived for a time near a his brother Ambrose
in Barren Co Kentucky. My transcription from the microfilm
of the 1809 tax list shows:
Ambrose Barlow 130 acres on Boyd's creek 1 wm over 21,
1B over 16, 2B total, 6 horses
Joshua Barlow 114 acres on Boyd's creek 1 wm over 21, 2B
over 16, 2B total, 2 (5?) horses
Other records possibly pertaining to these Barlows:
Taxes: Barren County has an excellent record of tax lists
from about 1804 to at least 1819-these Barlows may appear
on other years (which contain different information, in
some years detailing males above and below 16).
Marriages: I studied the Barren County, KY marriage index
(microfilm) in 1986-88 and noted among Barlow brides:
Betsy Barlow, 1811 (this one explained above), and 1815
Sally Barlow to William Bennett in 1813.
These, plus Margaret Barlow to Joseph Souther in 1808
were the only Barlow brides before 1820s, but there were
several later Barlows.
Also:
Ambrose Barlow3 (Adam2, Christopher1) b. Culpeper Co Virginia
1766
The AAI census index shows on the 1810 Barren County, page
31
Ambrose Marlow [sic] 20101-00110-02.
When I looked at the entry on microfilm, I thought the
surname was Barlow, but then, I was expecting the letter
to be a "B," so my eyes may have tricked me.
I have kept records for only three of the children
of Ambrose Barlow. Two of these children were in the 1810
household; the third was already married. My list is not
in birth order.
a. Elizabeth "Betsey" Barlow is the Betsey who
married James Bush in 1811.
Bush appears in 1820 in Barren Co Kentucky as head of
household (statistics not noted by me) and I think in 1830
he was head of household in adjacent Monroe County.
b. J S "Smith" Barlow is documented in Kentucky
Genealogy and Biography, vol. II, p. 105 [Barren County]
[this is a reprint from a vanity biography/history and
was first published about 1877 or 1878]. An abstract appears
below:
J.S. Smith Barlow, b. 1802 near Glasgow, Barren Co., KY.
Only survivor of Ambrose Barlow, who was b. Culpepper Co.,
VA in 1766 and later lived near Danville, KY and in 1801
moved to Boyd's Creek, Barren Co Kentucky and thence to
Monroe Co., KY. J.S. Smith Barlow in 1826 was a sheriff
of Monroe County, KY and later a KY legislator.
Thus, the other children of Ambrose Barlow may be assumed
dead by 1877. John S. Barlow at times held power of attorney
for his brother-in-law Joseph Souther.
See Barren Co Kentucky Deed book H, page 205 (09 May 1821)
c. Margaret Barlow. b. 1790 KY, d. after 1850
This child of Ambrose Barlow was not included as a descendant
in a list sent me by Pauline Barlow, but there is no
doubt that Margaret indeed was a child of Ambrose.
The IGI gives little clue about her, listing her marriage
only as _____ Southern [sic] to _____ Barlow on 25 Aug
1808 in Barren Co Kentucky

In a separate chronological list kept by the minister
and returned to the county, the marriage is identified
only as Souther to Barlow, 7 [sic] August 1808.
Confirmation of her parentage was made by Franklin Gorin,
who had personally known Margaret Barlow Souther and whose
family had lived next door to the Southers in 1810. He
stated in print that Margaret was a daughter of Ambrose
Barlow. See Gorin, Franklin, 1929, Times of long ago Barren
County, Kentucky: John P. Morton & Co., Louisville
[KY]. [Reprint of newspaper columns originallypublished
in 1880s.] The book was available for inter-library loan
from Transylvania College, Frances Carrick Thomas Library,
Lexington, Kentucky.
Margaret Barlow was still alive, living with a son, in
1850. She had married Joseph Souther, a blacksmith and
later innkeeper and storekeeper, in 1808 but had been widowed
in about 1821/1822 when he drowned (according to Franklin
Gorin) while on a business trip. Joseph Souther was a son
of Stephen and Mary "Polly" B. Souther** of Wilkes
Co North Carolina and a grandson of Henry Souther of Culpeper
Co Virginia. Joseph Souther had moved to Barren Co Kentucky
between 1805 (when he was a taxpayer in Wilkes Co North
Carolina) and 1806 (when he was assessed for 1 poll in
Barren County)Margaret Souther's name appears on Barren
Co Kentucky deeds several times in the early 1820's and
in 1835, 1841, 1845. She was not found with her son Dr.
William S. Souther (b. 18 Feb 1810) in his 1860 Barren
Co Kentucky enumeration but could have been enumerated
with her daughter (Mary Ann, b. ca. 1821) or her other
son Joseph Souther, Jr. (b. about 1820). Her census data
appears below:
1810 Census Barren Co Kentucky p 19-B. line 6

This household is not necessarily that of the widow of
Joseph Souther, but is a family located near her brother-in-law
Jesse Souther, her nephew Joseph Souther, and her niece
Sarah Souther Gilliam. No Margaret Souther appears in Barren
or Monroe Co Kentucky in 1830, and no other Margaret Souther
appears in Burke Co North Carolina on the 1820 or 1840
census.

in home of William Souther is Margaret Souther age 60,

**There is a family story that Mary B.
Souther (born before 1746, widow of Stephen Souther, mother-in-law
of Margaret Barlow Souther) rode horseback "for many
days" to
visit "her people in the west" and was gone for
many months. It is likely that she arrived with her son
Jesse when he moved to Barren Co Kentucky in 1808/9 (she
had sold her lands in Wilkes Co North Carolina shortly
before). She may have returned with him when he moved to
Burke Co North Carolina about 1812. In addition to her
other son Joseph Souther (who moved to Barren Co Kentucky
in 1806), she also had a married daughter who moved from
Wilkes Co North Carolina to Barren County between 1805
and 1808. Mary B. Souther was of German heritage and was
from Culpeper Co Virginia it is very remotely possible
she was a Barlow before her marriage
Added March 2004 by Susan BARLOW Holmes:
From: Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Southern
Arkansas, 1890, Pike County, pages 318-321.
J.O.A Bush, circuit and ex-officio county
clerk, Murfreesboro, Ark. No name is justly entitled to
a more enviable place in the history of Pike County than
the one that heads this sketch, for it is borne by a man
who, though young in years, has yet been usefully and honorably
identified with the interests of this county, and with
its advance in every worthy particular. Steadily and surely
has he come to the front in public as well as business
affairs, and it is but the utterance of a well-know fact
that it would be a difficult matter to find a person of
greater popularity, one who enjoys, to such a boundless
extent, the respect of all. Mr. Bush owes his nativity
to White Township, of this county, his birth occurring
on December 1, 1854, and is the fifth of ten children born
to the union of James R. and Amanda (Reeves) Bush, the
father a native of Kentucky, and the mother of South Carolina.
The father was reared in his native State, came to Arkansas
in 1849, settled in White Township, Pike County, and there
entered and bought about a section of land. He made this
place his home, and placed considerable improvement on
the same. He was a prominent members of the Methodist Protestant
Church, and also took a prominent part in the politics
of the county, In political preferment he was, during the
existence of that party, a Whig, and upon the dissolution
of that, became a Republican, being in favor of the Union
during the Civil War. He remained at home during that time,
and supported both sides, with the result of his farm produce,
without prejudice. In 1868 he was elected to the Lower
House in the General Assembly, by the Republican party,
from this county. During his residence in Pike County he
was sincere and outspoken in the advocacy of any views
that he had adopted, and was all times respected by his
neighbors for his honesty. He died November 12, 1882. The
mother is still living on the old homestead. She removed
to Tennessee with her parents with her parents, at an early
day, and while making the trip the family was robbed by
John A. Murrell. On the father's side an uncle, Smith Barlow,
served as State Senator from Barren County, Ky., for thirty
years, and died in that State about 1881. J.O.A. Bush was
early instructed in the mysteries of farm life, and, although
he had but limited educational advantages, he was naturally
of a studious turn, and by personal application in his
books, as time wore on he secured a good general education.
He always had a taste for debating and in the contests
at the debating society was always a victor. He remained
under the parental roof until twenty years of age, and
was then married to Miss Lucetta J. Eastwood, a native
of Pike County, Ark., and the daughter of Hiram and Margaret
Eastwood, who were also natives of this county. At this
time Mr. Bush bought and homesteaded 160 acres of land
in White Township, made many improvements, and farmed on
this place for two years, when, on December 7, 1876, he
lost his estimable wife. After this he began teaching,
and followed it with farming during the intervals, for
about eight years. He also became very active, politically,
advocating the principles of the Greenback party, and,
in 1884, was elected county clerk, as an Independent candidate.
In 1885 he purchased the Pike County Sentinel from R.H
Waddell, changed it in politics from a Democratic to an
Independent paper, with Greenback proclivities, and conducted
the same until June 1, 1889, during which time he was a
member of the Press Association, and went on various excursions
with that body. He was re-elected at the expiration of
his term in 1886 by a large majority. In 1887, from a technical
error, Mr. Bush was removed from office, and an especial
election was immediately ordered by the governor. Mr. Bush
declared himself a candidate for re-election, and was returned
to office by a majority from every township in the county.
So great was his popularity that he was elected to his
third and present term in 1888. In 1885, during the trouble
attending the burning of the county jail, from the firm
and outspoken attitude in his condemnation of such acts
of violence, in his personal conversation, and through
the columns of his paper, the life of Mr. Bush was frequently
threatened. On September 10, 1887, he was assaulted in
the streets by four armed men, was shot at with a shot-gun
twice, and ten or twelve times with pistols, and, although
most of the shots pierced his clothing, he received but
slight injury. He was married, the second time, on February
10, 1889, to Miss Viola Reese, a native of this county,
and the daughter of S.W. and E.J. Reese, natives of Tennessee,
who came to Arkansas in 1849, and were pioneers of this
county. Both are living, and reside at Corinth, Howard
County. On February 3, 1890,was born a daughter to this
union - Vivian. Mrs. Bush is a members of the Corinth Christian
Church. During his leisure hours Mr. Bush has been pursuing
the study of law, and is now prepared for examination.
His natural tastes and talents for oratory, and his influence
with this power, will eminently fit him for this profession,
and undoubtedly make him successful.
In personal character Mr. Bush is pleasant,
social, courteous and gentlemanly. In moral habits he is
above reproach, and, being enterprising and public-spirited,
is striving in all ways to advance the interests of Pike
County. He is a members of the A.F. & A.M. Pike Lodge

Lived in Barren County and in Monroe County
He received a good school training in early life and
for a few years engaged in teaching but developed more
than ordinary ability in affairs of public life.
He lived on East Fork of Indian Creek in Monroe County
His early manhood life needs further
research. He
was either married or had a mistress prior to his marriage
to Jane H. Howard. He moved from Barren County
to Monroe County in 1818. Marriage records in Washington
County Kentucky list a John Barlow and Francis Kinchloe
married February 04, 1820
Linda Lou Wilcox, Elverta, California a descendant of
his early marriage writes:
John Smith Barlow had a mistress from England or Pennsylvania
Dutch and they had three daughters.
Letters/copies in possession of the writer and
written by John Smith to his first three daughters living
in Missouri leave no doubt as to their proof and
existence.
A granddaughter, Mrs. Lena Wilson born 1881 Warsaw,
Missouri supplied the letters and descendant information.
After marriage to Jane Hart Howard he settled on a farm
on the North Fork of Indian Creek in Monroe County.
He was owner of a large number of slaves and large land
owner.
He was exceedingly smart and unusally quick.
He had the sweetest and most persuasive of voices and
his manners and bearing were never surpassed by an English
Lord
In 1826 he purchased one half of the sheriff~ship of
Monroe County
Upon the expiration of his term of office in 1828, he
was elected to the lower house of the Kentucky Legislature
He was then elected Senator from Clinton, Monroe, and
Cumberland Co's and had to wait until the next year to
take office until he became of eligible age
He served with distinction in the two houses of the
State Legislature for 27 years
He was twice nominated for Lieutenant Governor of the
State Senate
He was Senator from Barren County from 1871-1875, and
House of Representatives from 1861-1863

and one of Breckenridge's electors in 1860
He was active in the reorganization of the Democratic
Party in Kentucky after the close of the Civil War in
the Convention held in Louisville
John Smith Barlow was a man of strict habits; never
used any spirituous liquors or tobacco in any form
He was moderator of six seperate religious discussions
In December 1853 he moved to Glasgow and in the fall
of 1854 bought and moved to a fine farm eight miles north
of Glasgow and called it "Hay Hill." This farm
was later owned by Leight M. Wilson

Honorable J. S. Smith Barlow, Sr. was born near Glasgow,
Barren Co, Kentucky, May 13, 1802. He is the only survivor
of the family from which he descended. His father,
Ambrose Barlow was born in Culpepper Co Virginia in 1766,
and married Miss Ann Smith, a daughter of John Smith,
of Virginia.
He afterward resided for some years near Danville Kentucky
and in 1801, purchased an extensive tract of the famous
cane land, lying on the waters of Boyd's Creek, in Barren
Co - he moved thence to Monroe Co Kentucky.
J. Smith Barlow recieved a good school training in early
life, and for a few years was engaged in teaching, but
developing a more than ordinary ability for the affairs
of public life, he purchased, in 1826; one-half of the
sheriffship of the county of Monroe. Upon the expiration
of his term in office, in 1828, after a sharp contest,
he was elected to a seat in the lower house of the Kentucky
Legislature. On the expiration of his term, he was
elected senator from his district---Clinton, Monroe and
Cumberland Co's but his ineligibility on account of non-age
prevented his taking his seat in the body until the following
year, when he entered upon the duties of his office.
In the year 1852, he moved to Glasgow Kentucky and was
the first president of the Glasgow branch of the Louisville
and Nashville Railway, which office he resigned upon
his nomination for the State Senate from the counties
of Barren, Metcalfe, and Monroe; he was a member during
three special sessions. During his legislative career
Mr. Barlow was thrice nominated for the speakership of
the House, and twice nominated in the Senate for lieutenant-governor
of the State. He was a member of the Constitutional
Convention in 1849 and one of the Breckenridge electors
in 1860. He served with honor and distinction in
the two houses of the State Legislature twenty seven
years. In the reorganization of the Democratic Party
in Kentucky, after the close of the war, in convention
at Louisville, he had the honor of placing Alvin Duvall
in nomination for judge of the court of appeals, to which
office he was elected in 1866. This circumstance
he remembers as one of the most pleasant reminiscences
of his life.
He has been a man of very strict habits in life, has
never used spirituous liquors or tobacco in any form;
has always been blessed with health and in all his official
career has never failed to be in his place when duty
called him.
He has always been a straight Democrat, and never took
a new departure or lost sight of the land-marks of his
party.
Through untiring energy, and an excellent business
ability, Mr. Barlow has aquired a fine property, a part
of which is his home place of 1000 acres in Barren Co.
He has had the honor of presiding as moderator in six
seperate religious discussions.
He was married, February 10, 1831 to Miss Jane
H. Howard, a daughter to Major Harmon Howard, of Barren
Co. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and
departed this life December 16, 1863, leaving eight
children.
The sons are Harmon H., Joseph P., John S., Jr, Thomas; the
daughters are Mrs. Bettie Ritchie, the widow of the late
F. E. Ritchie, of the firm of Truman Swan and Ritchie,
Louisville Kentucky, Mrs. T. W. Bibb, Franklin Kentucky,
Mrs. C.C. Terry, Glasgow Kentucky, and Mrs J. H.
Yancey, Louisville.
The subject of this sketch died March 15, 1886,

Ray Pitcock of Louisville, Kentucky writes:
Information on Rachel and Conrad were
given to him in an extract by a local Kinslow researcher,
Reverend Marietta Mansfield. She lives in Louisville,
Kentucky, and has done a great deal of work figuring
out the mistakes in the McPherson Kinchaloe/Kinslow book,
who has us descending from Peter Kinchaloe, a totally
different family.
The Kinslows from Barren Co are generally
conceded to be of Germanic origin. There were German
language books inventoried in some early estates. He
is descended from Ambrose, and was born in Barren County.
Conrad and Rachel Kinslow were of German
descent, known as Conrad and Rachel Genssle--the Anglicized
form of the German Kunzle. Recorded their children
in the register of the Hebron Evangelical Luthern Church,
Culpeper Co Virginia --now Madison County Virginia.
Names of their children recorded in my documents are
the ones recorded in the register.

CHRISTOPHER C. TERRY was born in Barren County, Kentucky,
March 11, 1840, and is the seventh in a family of eight
children born to Bennett W. and Ruth 'McDaniel' Terry.
Bennett W. was born in Botetourt County, Virginia, in
1802; he was of Scotch descent, and when but a lad of some
fifteen or sixteen years, came with his parents to Barren
County, Kentucky.
After attaining his majority he bought wild land in the
northern part of the county, and subsequently improved
a farm, upon which he resided until his death, November
16, 1854.
He and wife were life-long and devoted church members;
first of the Baptist and afterward of the Christian Church.
His father, Stephen Terry, was one of seven brothers who
eimigrated from Scotland to the colony of Virginia.
Stephen's wife was a native of the "Old Dominion" and
a cousin of Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern
Confederacy.
Mrs. Ruth Terry was born in Barren County, Kentucky, in
1805, and died in August, 1879; her father, Jennings McDaniel,
was one of the pioneers of Barren County, and became one
of its extensive land owners and farmers.
Christopher C. Terry was employed on the old homestead
farm until he was seventeen years of age, after which he
was employed as a salesman in a dry goods store for about
one year. He was then appointed freight and ticket agent
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, at Cave City,
Kentucky, which position he held until August, 1862, when
he enlisted in Company C, Second Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry
/ Confederate service, and served under General Morgan
in all his raids and engagements until that officer and
his command were captured in southern Ohio. He was paroled
and never exchanged until the close of the war; he had
also four brothers in the Confederate Army, three of whom
died while in the service.
Since the war Mr. Terry has been engaged in various kinds
of business, merchandising, the saw-mill and lumber business,
and in agricultural pursuits. In August, 1882, he was elected
county clerk of Barren County, which office he now holds.
He married, November 22, 1866, J. Nellie Barlow, a native
of Monroe County, Kentucky; she was born January 5, 1845,
a daughter of John Smith and Jane 'Howard' Barlow. To Mr.
Terry and wife the following children have been born: Ann
