So some recent findings. I recently had a really big breakthrough getting past Samuel K Barlow and his father William Henry Harris Barlow. The family tree now follows the Barlow lineage back another 7 generations. Of note is Edward Barlow, Esq b 1570. As an Esquire he was a member of the gentry in England and had the rank directly below a knight. This entire body of information also takes one towards the possibility that our family through Barlow may indeed includes ancestors that were one of the first colonists from England. Possibly Thomas Barlow b 1635 England. Good to view Isle of Wight Virginia history, this is where the early Barlow family's settled.
For anyone doing family research again important to note Ancestry.com is not the do all, know all website. Frustrated and getting no further with Ancestry I pounded away on Google for William Henry Harris Barlow and finally found this extended Barlow information on the website Ourfamilyhistory.com. It had some really good details of each individual in a tree format.
Most recent family tree finds/additions: James K Barlow found and attached a headstone photo, again he is now understood as my generation's 3rd great grandfather. Edward Barlow, Esq. b 1570 attached a new story and the Barlow Coat of Arms. Blog additions: New Links- History of Barlow Name, Barlow Isle of Wight Virginia, Barlow Genealogy. New photos: James K Barlow headstone, Riggenberg Switzerland, and the Barlow Hall in Manchester England.
