Herma Armstrong March 2001 My elusive LYDIA BARLOW (b. abt. 1784) and husband RANSOM ODELL (b. abt 1780) named a son "Nelson" and the name was carried down every generation as far as my generation either in the form "Nellie" or "Nelson." It must have been a family name to have been so important. I figure the name was a BARLOW name since I haven't found any "Nellies" or "Nelsons" among any other ODELL lines other than this one. I don't know precisely where my Lydia and Ransom were born. The census gives New Hampshire as Lydia's birthplace and New York for Ransom. I think Ransom was probably born either in the Oblong area that was disputed by Connecticut and New York (area east of the Hudson River) or else up around the Glens Falls - Lake George area near the Vermont border. In the time period of Lydia's birth the area that became Vermont was being claimed by New York and New Hampshire so when she said she was born in New Hampshire, it might not be the New Hampshire we think of today. I know I'm grasping at straws, but these folks have stumped researchers for many years. They didn't leave a paper trail. Lydia and Ransom had several children born in NY in the 1805-1814 time period before moving to Scioto Co Ohio where the first "Nelson" - my gg grandfather - was born in 1818. The names of those New York- born children include some very common BARLOW given names - Thomas (the eldest child) and Moses (the 2nd son). There was also Mary, Melinda, Chauncey, Benajah (an Odell name), and James. |

Mike Biken August 1999 Looking for the parents of SARILDA/CERALDA C. BARLOW who married ALONZO PENUEL BACON in Wisconsin or Nebraska about 1860. She was born in New York about 1835 and has a brother, Royal Herman BARLOW born about 1846 in Illinois. Both claim their parents birth as Vermont (I'd imagine about 1810 or so). I believe the mother was Naomi, but don't have her surname or the fathers name. They may have a sister named Prescilla, but I haven't anything concrete, just a reference. Royal named a son Jirah, but I haven't been able to connect these two to the Jirah BARLOW out of Vermont, or any of his siblings. Has anyone come across, Royal, Sarilda or Naomi? Any guesses? |
Terry Sweet In searching our family lineage we came upon Martin Barlow, my great grandfather of Middlebury Vermont. My grandmother Mary Ann Barlow was French Irish and Indian, her mother Florence Clark was full blooded Indian. This means that Martin my great grandfather would be French and Irish. Any information of a Martin Barlow in Middlebury Vermont in your records? Update on Terry's Barlow family....... After a little bit of research we've found some more Barlow's. It appears the Barlows in my lineage come from France. My great-great grandfather was NATHANIEL BARLOW born in France. He married MARY JANE MACSEVENT from Ireland. Four sons were produced from that union, Martin Barlow my great grandfather, William Barlow, Arthur Barlow, and Leroy Barlow. I do not know the order of birth and only have dates for Martin. |
| Baesel I've received a "Fish Genealogy" from a family member (undated). In it, there is a reference to a CAPTAIN SILAS FISH who married ANN/ANNA BARLOW. Info on Ann /Anna includes: born - Bernard, VT 05 Jan 1792; died - 25 June 1826. Daughter of NATHANIEL and BETSEY "KING" BARLOW. Children of Silas Fish and Ann Barlow were CAROLINE, ANN, and NATHANIEL CORYDON FISH. Captain Fish died in Strongsville, Ohio in 1848. I have no information where Ann Barlow died. |
Frederick Joseph Barlow I am researching the following families: BARLOW, CLOUDEN, MURPHY, Whalen, STEVENS, Bamberg, Massetta, Noon, MUZZY, Duschen, McCann, Shaw, DAILY, Kaufman, Bickleman, JEWETT, NYE, WIETT, Foster, WING, Burgess, Basset, STETSON, Tupper, Gator, Worden, TEVINGTON, Roberts, Mackrell, Luffe, Driscoll, Green, and ROSEN. The names in capitals are the family names directly associated with the Barlow family. I have completed some research on all of the families. I traced the Barlow line back to GEORGE BARLOW d: 1684 in Sandwich Massachusetts through his son Moses c1654 - c1742. George may have been the first of this line or he may have been the son of George Barlow d: c1653 in Maine. The family moved to Barnard Vt. in the late 1700s. From there they migrated to Covington NY c1820. Some members of the family still reside there while others moved to the Western New York ---Buffalo--- area. |
