My great grandmother, mother of my granddad, Roddie Josey, was
Lucy Carter Josey, and she was first married to John Thomas
Josey. She later married Richard 'Dick' Wood Barlow in
Vivian or Shreveport, Caddo Parish,
Louisiana in January of 1888. I have that Richard was born
1842 in Alabama.
Richard Wood and Lucy Carter Josey Barlow had children; John Thomas in
1889 & Winnie in 1892. I always thought that they named John
Thomas
after my great grandfather, Lucy's first husband, John Thomas
JOSEY. Now, I am not sure of that. Is there anyone
out there who may have any info on this line of
BARLOWS? I do have someone in Shreveport - I
am from there - who is
working on this line, her Dad is Cecil BARLOW, son of John Thomas
BARLOW. Jacqueline Josey Helfrich -

First, keep in mind that the
Isle of Wight Barlows were known to be in many counties of Alabama
...
but primarily, Lowndes, Autagua, and Dallas
Co...and....you will notice that Dallas, Autagua and Lowndes are all
together.
Thomas Barlow, born
c1803, son of THOMAS BARLOW c1761- 1813
and his second wife, Mary
(Jesse6, Thomas5,
George4, Thomas3, Henry2, Edward1)
The elder Thomas
was a planter, of Brunswick, Virginia, Wake, North Carolina, Edgefield,
South Carolina, and Laurens, Georgia
The younger
Thomas married Elizabeth Caldwell, December 24, 1822 in Laurens Co
Georgia and is listed there in the 1830 census:
3 males
under 5 2 males 10-15 2 males 20-30
1 female under 5 1 female 20-30
In 1840 Thomas has removed to
Lowndes Co Alabama, I have the census index, but do not have that census
at this time, so I cannot give information from it.
In 1850, Thomas is still in
Lowndes Co enumerated in September #52/52

I may be wrong in assuming this is
the same Thomas, but I believe it is. Elizabeth had apparently died and
since I don't have the census for 1840 I don't know whether Elizabeth is
living then or not ....
I don't have very many cemetery records for
Alabama,.. the only thing I do find is:
Rasco Graveyard -Dallas County Alabama -
Elizabeth Barlow died March 5, 1840
...this may or may not be
her...
Thomas wife at this time is
Talfonfa A., and I not so sure of the spelling of her name, as it is
shown as initials L.A. in the 1860 census.
In Autgua Co Alabama marriage records, I find:
Thomas Barlow married
November 17, 1845 Ann T.A. King book 6 page 280
Thomas Barlow married November 17, 1845 Ann G.A.
King book 2 page 251
One or both of these has to be a
transcription error ... however, if the T.A. is correct, perhaps this is
Talfonfa A. and a second wife of Thomas.
Now as for Carol S., if the age is
correct, then the marriage date of December 1822 for Elizabeth and
Thomas would make him to old to be a son of Thomas, so I am not sure of
his relationship.
Note that the age for Richard
would be correct for the 1842 birth date, and the initial W. would fit
that for Richard in
Jackie's query.
Paul Gill found the 1850 census on
the Clearinghouse and offered
information for Merrett S. Barlow along with his surprise to find
Merritt in Alabama.

Franklin
Richard only aged 5 years since 1850,
probably another transcription error .....or a census
taker error!...
A son, E.E. Barlow age 8, apparently born 1852 to
Thomas and Talfonfa.
The same census shows also:

This would be John Harvin Barlow,
who had been in the Autagua Co census for 1850.
John is the son of James Barlow, James in turn is
a brother to Thomas.
I do not have a date on the 1850 Autagua census,
but he has a 5 children showing to be born in Georgia after the time of
that census, this must be in error or else John went back to Georgia
between 1850-1860.

I'm not confident of the
relationship here
I do not have the census records
for 1870, just the index...and by this time, these folks have multiplied
like mice...and moved all over the US...of the folks I have listed
above, I find:
Richard W. Lowndes
County 323 Benton P.O
Richard W. BARLOW married
July 14, 1870 Miss/Mrs. E. W. CLAR
book 6 page 280 in Autagua Co Alabama
So.....if this
is the same Richard as in Jackie's query, then Lucy would have been his
second wife, which I think would be quite feasible seeing that he
married Lucy in 1888, he would have been 46 years old.
Benjamin - probably
Franklin Lowndes County 323 Benton P.O
BARLOW CARLOS C. Lowndes
County 345 Benton P.O. - this is probably that Carol S.-
BARLOW JAMES J. Lowndes
County 326 Benton P.O.
BARLOW JOHN Lowndes
County 376 Farmersville P.O.
William W. is not here...however,
he is in
Louisiana in 1880, and he shows to have had
a daughter age 9, born in Tennessee, therefore, a check of Tennessee's
1870 census would be in order. I do not have that at this time on the
Clearinghouse.
BARLOW M. S. 1860 census of
Caddo Parish Louisiana 003 Shreveport P.O.
I think this is Merrett S. ...I don't have the
full record...
........he's not here in 1870 ... he went to
Texas .......
