Can anyone share any information on John B. Barlow and Leannah Key? I have seen information showing them married on July 08, 1890 Panola Co Mississippi (from numerous web-sites including LDS) however; the name that is listed for that date is James Wilkie Barlow and Jeanie Keys, 2 years prior to their daughter Martha being born. I have Martha's death certificate and her youngest son is still alive however has no further information. Martha's parents are listed as John B. Barlow and Leannah Key. I am positive Leannah died in 1911, Memphis Tennessee and I have her, John B, and daughter Martha on a 1910c. I am trying to connect Leannah with Mary Ann Duncan. On the burial permit for Potters Field, Memphis Tennessee, it lists her mothers maiden name with the initials of "D K" (possibly Duncan/Key or a first name initial and last name initial?) If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. I have been searching for such a long time for these two illusive members of my family. Note from Susan: I don't know where the marriage record for James Wilkie Barlow and Jeanette Keys comes from, but I have 2 James Wilkie Barlow's in my family, however both were born later than yours would be. I have a John Wilkie Barlow who married Jennie V. Hutchins in 1923. Strange coincidence!
I am very much interesting in getting in touch with you about the Barlow family. My major genealogy interest is in McKenzie, Monroe, Buie, McPherson, and McFatter. Just recently we discovered a letter, written in 1833, from Malcolm Buie back to Robeson Co North Carolina relatives. In this letter he mentions a Margaret (Monroe) who apparently visited Barlows in Alabama. She stayed 12 months with them and while there visited with a Hector McKenzie and family. She was fetched home by A. McKenzie's son, John. All these folks were from Robeson Co NC and all came "west" around the same time (1810-1812/14) The McKenzies settled in Greene/Perry Co Mississippi and there are Barlows there also. In the letter he also mentioned that "one of Barlows sons is a Methodist Preacher, his name is Daniel, I think" Also he says, "one of his daughters married a Methodist preacher living in the Choctaw." Do you have any idea if these Barlows are related (in any way) to any of the families listed above? I would be happy to send you a copy if you would like to see it. Apparently, if not related, they knew each other very well. John Barlow and a Brient Barlow are listed in the early tax roll and 1816 territorial census of Greene Co Mississippi (same place the McKenzies and Monroes are at that time)
Looking for information on Martha Barlow b. 1828 in Mississippi. Married John Magee abt. 1846. Had the following children: Daniel; Rachel; Susanna; Alfred; Duncan B.; Nancy Jane; and Henry.
My name is Saraphia Travis Wilson. My father is John Dean Travis and is the son of Quinnie Barlow Travis (married Hardy Travis). I visited the "Descendants of Nichols Cicero Barlow" only to find some very incorrect information. Quinnie Barlow Travis (my grandmother) is NOT DEAD. She did not die after 1993, she lives right next door to me and although she now suffers from Altzheimers Disease she is still very much alive. Additionally, her children are John Dean Travis (who married Norma Jean LeBeouf), George Travis (who married Sonja McCranney), Eugene Travis (who married Linda Bergeron and then later Estelita) and Billy Travis (who married Louise). John Travis had two daughters the eldest being Sandra Travis Allen and the youngest is me! George Travis has two sons the oldest is Jeffrey Travis and the youngest is Timothy Travis. Eugene has three children and two step children (Gregory Travis, Angel Travis, Brad Travis and Sheranda Travis and Reuben Travis) and finally Billy had three children Jeremy Travis, Adina Travis and Jonathan Travis. Billy and Louise lost there oldest son Jeremy in a boating accident on the lake at Angola, were they both worked and lived for years. Adina was married to Ronnie Porche and did loose a beautiful little girl named Amber. Adina is now re-married.
Answer recieved in April 2010 from gladiasked@yahoo.com: Someone was asking about Ida Mae Belk and her husband, last name Barlow. Ida Mae was my paternal grandmother. Her husband's name was Elmo Barlow. They lived most of their lives together in Monroe, La. I do not know when Elmo died or where is is buried. Ida Mae was married to my grandfather, Louie Belk.
Sarah Barlow was born about 1765 and died May 28, 1858, her maiden name is not known. She married John Barlow, it is not known when he was born, but he died about 1840. No info on them other than Sarah was Indian and was born in Virginia and she may be buried in Bullock Cemetery, Covington Co Mississippi. One child that I know of, Isley Barlow; born 19 February 1795 and died 15 February 1847. He married Silas Bulloch about 1810. Sarah and John were my gr4 grandparents. I have some information if needed about the life of Sarah in her last years.
I am interested in Ilsey /Isley Barlow...aka Tadder.. who was married to Silas Bullock in Georgia abt 1810, and later removed to Covington County Mississippi. It seems everyone has hit the same wall with Isley and Silas. The only additional information I have is the oral tradition passed down by my grandmother, Virginia Mathis Hooks; she said that Isley's parents were full blood Choctaw. John Barlow, born in North Carolina, and Sarah, born in Virginia. If they were born in NC and VA, I don't believe that they would be Choctaw. Even if you take into account the extent of land that Virginia claimed in those years, they would be more likely Cherokee than Choctaw assuming that they were indeed Indian. As for Silas, I have no parent's identified and have only the birthdate and place of birth from the census records. However, the census records do seem to conflict with other extant records as to place of birth. 1850 says Mississippi, other records -and grandmother- indicate North Carolina. Note from Susan: Is the Isley ..aka.. Tadder Barlow mentioned the same as "Suki" listed in census records of 1850 Covington Co Mississippi? This record shows a Sarah Barlow, aged 85, born in Virginia to live in the household, and my assumption would be that she is the mother of Suki ..or perhaps of Silas.. she having been married to both a Bullock and late a Barlow. Another thing I noted is that the step children of Silas in the household have Pittman as a surname; this would indicate to me that Suki had previously been married to a Pittman. I do find an Ava Barlow married to a John Pittman in Georgia, 1837, but that family has been traced thru 1860 in Georgia, and then to Arkansas.
I am looking for Lemuel G. Barlow. He would have been born around 1840 in Mississippi and moved to New Mexico before it became a state. He married Mary Smith, whom it is believed to have been born May 30, 1849 in San Marcos, Texas. Lemuel and Mary were in Lincoln Co New Mexico during the days of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett and the "Lincoln County War." Lemuel left New Mexico to go search for gold in Colorado in 1879. Mary was pregnant at that time, and Lemuel may or may not have known that. Mary filed for divorce in Lincoln County and married Walker Whitfield Paul. A son was born on January 29, 1880, and was named William Walker Paul. Birth records were not kept at that time, so we have had to rely on family records, and census. My research has proven that W.W. Paul, Jr. was in fact a Barlow, though he carried the Paul name. I'm not sure if he was born in New Mexico or Texas, as the next records we find on Mary and W.W. Paul show them to be living in Weatherford, Texas. Might anyone know who the parents of Lemuel are? Or where in Mississippi he was born?
My great-grandmother was Susanna Magee, daughter of John Magee and Martha Barlow. I'd had trouble finding her lineage. He was the son of Tobias Magee, and they married in 1828. Note from Susan: I feel sure Martha Barlow will be one of my family. Many of my Barlows intermarried with Magees and their families .. and many of them went to Louisiana. I need help finding a full record of the following: Copiah Co Orphans Court December - 1825 Passports issued by Governors of Georgia ...thru Creek Nations to Mississippi Territory.... Two passports are known to be my family, but the following passport has not been proven. November 13, 1811: That a passport be prepared for the following persons to travel through the Indian Nations to the Western Country, viz -for a bunch of Brown's- and one for Messrs. Thomas Franklin and THOMAS BARLOW, the former with his mother, four brothers and five sisters, all from Richmond Co South Carolina We think this may be a son of John and Lydia, but we are not sure, as we do not have any other records indicating Thomas as a son....but the passports prepared for John and Bryant earlier never showed them to have brought the rest of the family ... so we think this may be them...... It has also been said that this may be the Thomas Barlow who lived in Lousiana and was killed in the War of 1812. Can anyone verify this Thomas Barlow's lineage? NATURALIZATION RECORDS DECLARATION I don't know if that would be 1771 or 1871 .... does anyone know .... or does anyone know who this John Barlow might be? I have found a Nancy Barlow that married W.O. Sebron on October 16, 1880, listed in Simpson County marriages from an FTM disk. Does anyone know who her parents might be? I’m looking for information on Ruth Pace, John Joseph Pace Barlow-White Cloud -we think he was born before Ruth married Billy White Cloud- and Billie Ruth Barlow-White Cloud. Billie Ruth lived at the Ashley Hotel, in Manhattan, New York City, married to William Moncrief in the 1950’s. The family lost track of her there. Rumor has it, she was gunned down in a gang battle between 1958-1965. I have no proof of this today. Her maiden name is BARLOW-WHITE CLOUD. She married Horace Blackstock of Mobile, Alabama in 1942, living in the Dr. Parish Bed and Meal House in Midland, Alabama, then left him in 1944 to go to New York. She married William Moncrief, who was older then her. She changed her name to "Gail" Blackstock or Moncrief. She was an entertainer, singing in Nightclub’s in New York during this time. She is originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where she was born on February 23, 1925. Her mother was Ruth Pace married to Dr. Billy B. Barlow-White Cloud, an Indian Medicine Man. Ruth Pace Barlow died in 1932 in Philadelphia, Mississippi on the Choctaw Reservation. Billie Ruth and her 1/2 brother, John Joseph "Jack" Barlow were placed in the St. Mary Orphanage in Nashville Tennessee from 1936 - 1941. I have been unable to trace her whereabouts. They had a cousin by the name of Mary Verlee Dunn, who lived across the street from them in Hattiesburg, as children, but I can’t find anything on her either. If anyone out there knows how I can do this, or knows anything about this, please e-mail me or call (717) 843-3081. Your help is greatly appreciated. Note from Susan: Oct 2001 I found in Alabama Death Index: B. Barlow Whitecloud died 03 Oct 1953 Franklin Co Alabama # 41- 20182 Seeing that families tended to intermarry with brothers and sisters of neighboring families, it could be used as a clue to finding more about Suki & to find out if indeed she was a Barlow prior to marriage, if a record can be found. I would consider also finding where the Bullock family were living in 1860. Sarah Barlow has surely passed on by the time of the 1860 census, so she would not be found in census indexes while searching for Barlow, therefore, I have no record of Silas and Suki after the 1850 census. I surely would be interested in hearing any outcome of searches done on this family though, as I have always wondered if they might have some ties to my Barlows in Mississippi, thus giving me clues of our roots prior to Mississippi.

Looking for someone who might have historical information about the Barlow family name and / or history of the Barlow United Methodist Church, located in Sallis, Mississippi in Attala County. Barlow U.M.C. plans to celebrate 113 years of continuous religion community service in June, 1999 and the church members are trying to collect as many facts about the historical and / or ecclesiastical background of the Barlow family and its connection with Barlow United Methodist Church as possible. To date, Mr. Fleming has collected information from the following individuals: W. Green Barlow of Petal Mississippi, Lora Beth Wright of Houston, Texas and Archie Barlow, Jr. of Calhoun, Georgia. Your input would be very much appreciated. My e-mail address is Mary Austin. My home, work and fax numbers are listed below. Thank you..... 972-960-1549 (home) 214-508-0844 (work) 214-508-0871 (fax) Some researchers think the Barlow UMC may have gotten the name from the family of Alonzo D. Barlow, who lived in Madison County, and appeared to have been quite wealthy ...If anyone knows more about this family, both Ms. Austin and the Clearinghouse would love to hear from you. |
