From the research of Susan
BARLOW Holmes
Note: These are not my family
Charles Barlow
was born between March of 1833 in Lincolnshire England and
came to the U.S. in his twenty-first year of age, c1854.
In 1860, he was living in
Saline Co Missouri, where he married Sarah Mahala
Elizabeth Cott/Catt. In the many records I
have found, the most used spelling of the name is Cott, so
I believe that is the correct one. They were married on 01
November 1860 by Rufus Bigelow, JP. Sarah,
born June 1841 in Missouri, was the daughter of Solomon Cott
and Sarah.
In
the 1870 census of Arrow Rock, Saline Co Missouri, Charles
is shown to be 38, his wife, Mahaly, is 28. Children,
Joseph, age 8, Sarah, age 7, William, age 5, Lucy, age
4, and Cinderella, age 2. Mahaly and all children
born in Missouri, and Charles in England. See
census image
Note: The census
taker got off a line in his work and had Charles born
in Missouri also, and the child of the family above
him born in England; obviously wrong.
The 1880 census of Clay
Township, Saline Co Missouri has Charles at age 46,
M.E., wife, age 40, J.M.D., son, age 19, S.A., daughter,
age 17, W.H., son, age 15, L.C., daughter, age 14, Cindarella,
age 12, Mary, age 10, J.S., son, age 9, Beng., son,
age 6, F.B., son, age 2, and Addie, age 8 months.
Also living in the home is Sarah 'Catt,' age 70, Mahaley's
mother. Charles born in England, Mahaley and all
children born in Missouri, and Mrs. Catt in Ohio.
See census image
Mahaley's name is the
cause of some confusion, she is Sarah on the marriage
record, Mahaley on the 1870 cenus, and M.E. on the 1880
census, then Mahala on the 1900 census.
Going back to 1860, I find her listed as Elizabeth in
her parents household. Thus, my assumption is
that her name is Sarah Mahala Elizabeth Cott or some
variant of the name. That record as
follows : |
|
Solomon
Catt [note spelling] is
in the 1860 Saline Co Missouri census. His
age 60, born in Kentucky, wife, W. Sarah, age 60, born
in Virginia, and children: Amos, age 28, born in Indiana,
Milton H., age 24, born in Missouri, Elizabeth, age
19, born in Missouri, Joseph, age 15, born in Missouri,
Nancy, age 14, born in Missouri, and Margaret, age 12,
born in Missouri. I believe that Elizabeth, is
the same as Sarah or Mahala Catt/Cott/Cate. See
census image [Note that
in 1880 Sarahs parents are both born in Ohio on that
census, 1900, they are both born in Pennsylvania, and
on this record, Kentucky and Virginia]
The Barlow family moved
to Tulare Co California, in 1881 according to Charles
obituary. Charles age would have been about 58.
The 1900 census shows: Charles, age 67, born March
1833 in England, both parents born in England, Mahala,
age 58, born June 1841 in Missouri, both parents in
Pennsylvania, they had been married 38 years, 13 children
born with 12 living. Children in the home are:
Zayda, age 19, born April 1881 in Missouri, and Maurd,
born December 1884 in Missouri. Either their birthplaces
are wrong or Charles obituary is wrong about his time
of arrival in California.
Children of Charles
Barlow and Sarah Cott are:

Apparently one child
died at birth or at a very young age.
I noticed that in most
of the death records, the childrens mothers surname
was Cott, a few though had Catt.
Other names you might
want to check as being related to this family are Eaton
and Fearn. I find those listed
in the California death index as persons with mothers
surnamed Barlow, deaths in Tulare Co California.
You can find this family
in miscellaneous
records of California also |
