Barlow in Minnesota ~ Notes and Queries

James Barlow    August 1999

Am seeking information/descendants of William Elliott Barlow, a son of my great-grandfather James Milton Barlow of Hendricks Co Indiana.

William was born born 13 February 1872, married Ellen Meade in Hendricks Co in 1900. They soon after moved to the Minneapolis area, where they had a farm. Had three kids that I know of, Milton, Lucille and Mary Jane. I met some of  this family at a reunion at my parents' house in the mid 1950s, when I was a pup.   Any descendants out there, or does anyone know of any?

Albert Clark BARLOW, son of John H. Barlow and Eliza Clark was born on March 29, 1840, in Kentucky, probably at Newport.   He was recorded with his parents in the 1850 census.

He married a Miss ALDEN and they had no children.

He was a student at the Cincinnati Seminary and subsequently a soldier in the Civil War. In her manuscript Helen Lindsey stated that he served with the Confederate Army and that he was later prominent in the G.A.R., which doesn't seem correct.

Around 1880 he moved to Duluth, Minnesota, and became general manager of the Duluth and Winnepeg Railroad. After several years he accepted a position in the Duluth city comptroller's office.

He died on January 10, 1903, at Duluth.

For the rest of this family, see: Joseph Barlow of Newport Kentucky.
