  Mason, I believe has died...

  Please see the report sent by Mary Barlow of the Robeson Co Barlows  and  help me to document them  ....  I do so want to
  prove that  my John  is a part of this family!!   Or to prove that he is not  .... so that I can look elsewhere...  Thus far, the only
  proof I have found is that my John is not of the Wilkes Co NC Barlows...
  Census records show that his first two sons, William Bryant and Henry Barlow, were born in  NC,  c1793-4 ..... but there are
  so many Johns in the 1790 NC census ... I can't figure out which might be mine, if any  ......   Susan
