From the Genealogy:
John Williams and Thankful Barlow - Benajah Tomson and Prudence Eldredge
compiled in 1931 by Charles Tomlin and Clarence R. Brooks
page 13:
No birth or death dates for John Williams but for Thankful Barlow it has born 1738, no place, married 1755 in Holland, died 1818 New Jersey.
It goes on to say:
"Emigrated from Wilhelm, Holland. John emigrated after marrying. He settled at Beaufort Harbor, South Carolina. His wife followed in 1756. Their son, Barlow, was born at sea, May 12 1756.  This family moved to Cape May, and the to "Maurice River Neck", now Heislerville, New Jersey."

I have always doubted that John Williams and Thankful Barlow were Dutch, possibly English who went to Holland to escape religious persecution.

I wonder if any of our English members have ever encountered these names.

William Charles Barlow was born in 1928. His mother's name is Vertie Faircloth Barlow. He had 1 brother named John, and a sister named Carolyn Barlow Smith.

Charles had 2 daughters by a previous married - Debra - deceased - and Mary Frances Barlow. Charles married Ruth Helen Crawford later, she is my mother.  John lived in North Carolina or South Carolina.

Virginia

I'm looking for Barlows who migrated from England to Isle of Wight, Virginia - then some went to Brunswick Co., Virginia, then to Wake Co North Carolina, then to Edgefield District South Carolina, then to Laurens, Butts, Sumter, Marion, Stewart, Decatur Georgia, with a few to Alabama and Florida.
