I am trying to find more information on John Barlow who came from North Carolina or Virginia to Hardin County Tennessee by 1850. His age is given as age 65 in both 1850 and 1860. He does not appear in 1870 that I can determine. He and a woman named Elvira, assumed to be wife...age also varies...have children or probably some may be grandchildren --relationships are not stated until 1880 census
1. Nancy born ca 1828 Tennessee
2. Charles P. born ca 1838 Tennessee
3. Martha A. born ca 1840 Tennessee
4. John S. born ca 1843
5. Jasper N. born ca 1844
6. Willy H. born 1847
7. Elvira born 1849
8. Elizabeth J. born ca 1849
9. Frances M. born 1851
10. William W. born 1860
Osburns live nearby with Barlows living with them...possibly Elvira is an Osburn. Also Greens and Campbells from NC live nearby....thus making me think they would have come from the mountainous area of NC, possibly from the Wilkes County Barlows However, the common name of John and the varying ages both he and Elvira reports have created problems!
Son Charles P. married Eliza Barlow in 1858 n Lawrence Co Tennessee and he served in CO. D 19th TN Cav CSA....no pension applied for as both he and spouse died too early--he died in 1874 in Hardin County. They apparently only had two children, Elvira and John Wesley, who married Sara Hughling/Huling and she died in Dyer Co. Tennessee.
John Wesley eventually ended up in Dunklin County Missouri with a second wife.
Any connections to this family that might help unravel the John Barlow with wife Elvira mystery will be greatly appreciated.
"Maurice Crocker"
I have not done too much on the Barlow line but my Crocker lineage comes through Drury and Lucy Barlow Crocker from the Isle of Wight Va. They were married February 12, 1793 by Rev. William Hubbard with the consent of Anthony Crocker and George Barlow. Drury and Lucy moved to Dallas Co AL about 1840 with most of their family
"Nancy
Burke"
I
am interested in a Sarah BARLOW who married Thomas SIMMONS,
probably in Halifax County, Virginia in 1825. Thomas SIMMONS
was the eldest son of Benjamin SIMMONS and Martha 'Hood' SIMMONS.
Evidently
Thomas received 73.5 acres from the
US Government 21 March 1828.
He
was in Bartholomew Co. Indiana so I assume the land was in Bartholomew
County
Don't
know the reason for the land grant. Perhaps Thomas received
it in lieu of his father, Benjamin,
who
may have fought in the War of 1812.
Benjamin
died 20 September 1825 in Ky, probably Pleasant Run, Hardin Community,
Washington County Kentucky.
I
know nothing about Sarah before she married Thomas. Sarah died 25
March 1846 in Bartholomew County, Indiana. She and Thomas
travelled from Virginia through Washington County Kentucky where their
first child was born.
1.
Martha ~ Martha was Thomas's mothers' name
2. Priscilla
3. Mary
Ellen
4.
Benjamin Franklin ~ Thomas's fathers' name was Benjamin
5. Missouri/Melissa
6. John
Wesley
7.
Thomas - middle name may be Henry
I
would appreciate any information about Sarah BARLOW prior to
her marriage to Thomas SIMMONS.
Note from Susan: I find it interesting that I find a marriage between a Nancy Barlow and Thomas Simmons in Washington Co Kentucky on August 25, 1824. Could Nancy and Sarah be the same person?

Barlow - Harbison connection
I have an Ann Barlow who married Moses Harbison in 1789 in Culpeper Co Virginia Between 1810 and 1812 she ..as a widow... moved her family to Barren Co Kentucky
Would you have any information re Ann's parents?
I know that on the 1810 Barren Co KY census, an Ambrose Barlow is listed so he must be a relative. In 1820, there was a Joshua and a Robert T. Barlow in Barren Co KY
Thank you for any help you may give me.
Janelle Swearingen Tulsa, OK
I am interested in finding any Barlow in Isle of Wight or Southampton County Virginia circa 1750-1780, who had a daughter Rebecca. I believe Rebecca Barlow married first John Porter who died 1777 and she then married Etheldred Brantley.
Her children were John, Benjamin, Jesse, Thomas, and Tabitha Porter.
Thanks
