Dear Susan and EVANS, BARLOW, MYRICK, GRANTHAM, JONES, HERRINGTON, McCARTY, LOTT, HATTEN, and BANKSTON lists as well as Jones County, Mississppi and Jasper County, Mississippi lists, First of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS! and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hi. Bellinda MYRICK-BARNETT here. I've been working on trying to connect my maternal EVANS lineage in Georgia and Jasper County, MS in the early to mid-1800s that married into the JONES-McCARTY families with the EVANS families that married into my paternal MYRICK - HERRINGTON - GRANTHAM families and connecting more of those, as well. I would be most grateful to hear from any of you who might know, specifically, how these different EVANS connect below to each other and the other connecting surnames I have shown here. Re: SC>GA>Jasper & Jones Co., MS (listing those EVANS who were in these areas in the 1800s that appear to be related but that I, so far, have listed with no connections) EVANS (1.) William?/Panther? "Panther" EVANS, (my maternal 4th great grandfather,) b: Abt. 1780 in ?/SC, d: Aft. 1810, Jasper Co., MS Malinda EVANS, b: Feb. 06, 1810 in GA, d: Sept. 27, 1875 in Jasper Co., MS md: Alson JONES/aka Alson S.

LIGHTFOOT,) and later married 2nd wife: Anna "Annie" NETTLES. The LOTT and HATTEN families, also, married into EVANS families as well as they married into the MYRICK, HERRINGTON, GRANTHAM, BARLOW and other families listed here so I am sending to the LOTT and HATTEN lists as well. (2.) Alson Bluford "Gip" EVANS, b: 1823 in MS md: Rachel BANKS(T)ON, b: 1826 (d/o Sarah "Sally" LAIRD & (Rev.)

And Richard "L ucky" GRANTHAM, III and Cynthia "Sina" GRANTHAM were the children of Elizabeth AMMONS and Richard GRANTHAM, II.) I am still wondering whether or not anyone has found any information showing the parents of the immediately aformenetioned Nancy HERRINGTON, born: Abt. 1801 in ?, died: Aft. 1870 prob. in Jones Co., MS. It certainly looks possible that she is the 'missing' daughter of Samuel S./Silas? "Sy" HERRINGTON and his wife, Mary? Martha? ?/ALLEN?. This Samuel S./Silas? "Sy" HERRINGTON was the brother of 2 of my paternal 3rd great grandfathers, the aformentioned William HERRINGTON, Jr., (who married Cynthia "Sina" HERRINGTON,) and my Enoch HERRINGTON who md: wife # 1: Rebecca Jane "Jane" DICKENS/DICKINS, (aka DICK(ER)SON/etc.,) (d/o Catherine GRAVES & ?/David?

Will try once more to find my GGGgrandfather Chaffin Barlow parents. He was born in Virginia about 1822 and married Jane Jacobs 11-17-1843 in Smyth County, Virginia. I have found a couple of Chaffin Barlow's but can't get any reply to my letters. I would assume with the names they are related, but can't get a reply from the researchers.

For any of you interested in Wellington Barlow born in Smyth Co Virginia, who moved to Iowa, and later to Missouri, I have just located, what I believe to be a son of his not listed in his genealogy: Joseph W. Barlow, born c1850 in Iowa. After re-reading the biography of Wellington, I wondered what had become of the Joseph mentioned as being one of the living children. Searching further, I found Joseph W. Barlow, age 30 in the 1880 Carroll Co Arkansas census, born in Iowa. I believe he will be a son of Wellington and Nancy, especially when you wee hey named their first son Wellington, and first daughter Nancy. The census reads: Joseph W. Barlow, age 30, born in Iowa, Margaret A., age 27, born in Mississippi, Wellington, age 6, born in Mississippi, William W., age 2, born in Mississippi, and Nancy E., age 3 months, born in Mississippi. I was unable to locate him in 1870 Susan PS..

http://www.barlowgenealogy.com/Options/BARLOWDNAPROJECT.htm Alex numbers are listed here. Eckersley is at: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Eckersley/ On the 25 marker test, all but one match. Alex has ordered the 37 marker, it has not yet returned. As you may recall, on the 25 marker test, John Barlow of the Fairfield Ct Barlow's was an exact match to Alex. John has just upgraded his 25 marker test to the 37. Many of this family researchers have said that Alexander Barlow of Lancashire was their ancestor, but nobody has ever really proven it. I can't say that the DNA proves it as definite, but they are very closely related as it stands now with the 25 marker test. I suspect, they will still be closely related after the 37 markers are done.

The DNA testing is paying off. Alex Barlow of Ireland tested and was a match to the Eckersley family. John Eckersley who has the DNA database for his surname has found the link that puts them together...see his letter to myself and Alex below. John Eckersley writes: I have at last found the link between the Eckersley's and the Lancashire Barlows - which hopefully proves that you and I are descended from the Lancashire Barlows (as your family had always suspected). It also shows that the lines of Barlows in the US which are similar to our signatures are thererefore descended directly from the Lancashire/Slebetch lines. Your and my common ancestor is Alexander Barlow b1414 Barlow Hall d aft 1466 because on your list of ancestors the next person is another Alexander while mine is Roger, presumably both sons of Alexander. The IGI shows my lineage as thus (I have summarised it): Robert de Barlow b c1275 Barlow Hall, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Lancashire, England | | Alexander BARLOW (m1434) Elizabeth ASHTON b1414 Barlow Hall b c 1428 of Mercey Bank, England d aft 1466 | | Roger BARLOW (m c 1491 Hulme Cheshire) Catherine PRESTWICK b1461 Barlow Hall b c 1463 Hulme, Cheshire d bef 1525 d aft 1525 | | | John BARLOW - Mary ECKERSALL / ECKERSLEY m John CROMPTON b1786 Unsworth b 1793 Unsworth | James ECKERSALL / ECKERSLEY b 1815 Unsworth | | John Thomas ECKERSLEY (m1893) Emma UNSWORTH | Richard Barrett ECKERSLEY | Peter Richard ECKERSLEY | John-Paul ECKERSLEY (me !) b1966 I know that mistakes are found on IGI but in this instance it is strange that both the genetics and the "paper" trail reinforce the same story. Feel free to ask about any of the above. So on that note I shall wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best regards, John. John-Paul Eckersley Eckersley Surname Project Co-ordinator.

I am looking for someone with more knowledge than I about the science of DNA to administer our group. I have so many folks asking me what the numbers mean, and I don't understand them myself. Perhaps if someone could explain it better, we would have more Barlows join the group. It's hard to pay that kind of money and not even understand what just happened. All I can tell them is we are or are not related. We got our 37 marker test back yesterday, my John and Lydia Barlow of Mississippi bunch and Brian Barlow, or Wilkes Co Bunches of Barlows. With this test, our group is mismatched by 1 marker out of 37 to William and Edith Mathoda of Georgia. It means that there is a very good chance we have a common ancestor within the last 100 years, while we are 4 off from the Wilkes Co Bunch, meaning we probably do not have a common ancestor within the past 300 years. So for now, we concentrate on finding the generations between us and William before we work on the relationship to Rev John. Now if we could get a 37 marker test on John of Fairfield Ct, we'd know if the Wilkes Co Bunch needs to concentrate on that relationship, or find others first. As it stands now, Alex Barlow of Ireland is 1 markers off from us, but that number will change when his 37 marker results arrive. May be larger or smaller. Will just have to wait and see if he is closer to us, or to Wilkes Co. Someone, please consider taking over as administrator, You really don't have to know about web building you can send me the results for posting, or if you can do webbuilding I would welcome you onboard to take care of that portion of the website. There is also the option to post your information on the Barlow DNA site, no knowledge of html needed, just type in your information in text, and it does the rest.

The plot thickens! I finally reached Vicki Roach who has shared more of the family of Thomas and Lucy Hargis Barlow of NC and Tennessee. She had some interested notes on Hugh Samuel Paisley. Information provided by Florence Louise Paisley, via Jan Ayers Hugh Samuel was born a Barlow. His grandmother changed his name after the death of his parents. Carleen Gash states that this is false. She identified his parents as Thomas Barlow and Lucy Hargis. Her research leads her to believe that there was some sort of relationship between Thomas/Lucy and Rev. Samuel Paisley/Elenor Paisley, though not a blood relationship. Carleen says they were members of the same church congregation in Hillsborough, Orange Co NC and could have been good friends. She said Thomas and Lucy had several children, and Hugh Samuel is the only one to change his name. Hugh Samuel's granddaughter, Ellen Lee Paisley, said he spoke five languages. February 07, 1849 to October 18, 1849 Hugh Samuel Paisley served as U.S. Consul to Genoa, Italy. His correspondence was directed to the Secretary of State John Middleton Clayton. Secretary Clayton was a cousin of Ann Rebecca Clayton Dunklin, Mary Elizabeth Dunklin's mother. He resigned his post due to health problems. 1856-Practicing dentistry in Houston, Mississippi. Excerpt from a book entitled "Collirene, The Queen Hill" pages 146-7 by Rosa Lyon Taylor and June Middleton Albaugh: Mary E. "Molly" was born January 10, 1835. On January 06, 1856 she became the second wife of Dr. Hugh Samuel Paisley. The story of Dr. Hugh Samuel Paisley and Molly's life surely fits the adage, "Truth is stranger than fiction." Hugh Samuel was a dentist and was from SC. His first wife was Sarah Ann Amelia Rives of Collirene. His mother was a Paisley of SC, so he and Sarah were probably cousins of some sort. Hugh Samuel married Sarah in 1848, and she lived only forty days after the marriage. She was referred to in records as "the forty day bride". After her death, Hugh Samuel received an appointment to be consul in Genoa, Italy. He had a beautiful marble monument sent from Italy for his wife's grave. It can be seen today in the Collirene-Rives Cemetery. The first twist to this story is that Hugh Samuel's family name was not Paisley. His mother was a Paisley and his father was a Barlow. But, because there were no more male Paisleys to carry on the line, his name had been legally changed to Paisley. On returning from Italy, he was drawn to Collirene through his earlier marriage to Sarah Ann Amelia, and there became acquainted with Mary E. Dunklin. They were married January 06, 1856, but they had no children, so again it seemed the name of Paisley was to die out. However, at the time of the Civil War, there was in Mississippi, a Mr. Barlow, a relative of Hugh Samuel's, who had a large family. Mr. Barlow, who was an itinerant teacher, was having a hard time supporting these children. He died quite suddenly when away from home. To be of help, Hugh Samuel and Molly decided to go and choose one of the boys to adopt. On arriving in Mississippi, they found that Mrs. Barlow had recently died in childbirth and left a new baby boy, John Barlow. The older Barlow children, having heard tales about marauding Yankee soldiers, were afraid their baby brother would be stolen, so the children had notched both the baby's ears so that he could be identified later if necessary! As an older sister wanted the little boy for whom Hugh Samuel and Molly had made the trip, the new baby with the notched ears was the one they took home, adopted and named John Barlow Paisley. The story continues to twist, for, in 1877, Molly's brother, Charles Polk Dunklin, was left a widower with two young children. Now, his wife had been Angeline Elizabeth Rives, a niece of Hugh Samuel's first wife, Sarah Ann Amelia Rives. Hugh Samuel and Molly took these children, Claudia Polk Dunklin and James Herbert Dunklin and reared them but did not adopt them or change their names. In 1885, John Barlow Paisley married his "sister", Claudia. They had a long and happy marriage that produced three boys and eight girls with the name of Paisley. Hugh Samuel died January 22, 1895 and Molly died February 20, 1902. Both are buried in Maplesville, Alabama.

I have spent this past week working on the family mentioned above and have really been excited, I think there is a good chance this family will also relate to the IOW Barlow families. I found them living together in Texas and Alabama in the same cities at the same time, is that really a coincidence? And that family from Ponotoc Co Mississippi that has bugged me for years, I finally placed them in this family. I finally reached Vicki Roach, she was the original contributor of the lineage, she had only given me her direct lineage, and then very little on them. But since I have shared my findings with her, she has given me some more goodies to add. It's all posted and ready to go, except the census images that are linked from it, they have to be edited before I can upload them..be a few days. Most have transcriptions there though.. I did a really lot of work on this family. Question: I find a James Kendrick Barlow living in Hardin Co Tennessee near this family, but cannot place him into it..does anyone know anything about him? I found him at the FamilySearch.Org. It says he married Sarah Mariah Motley of Greene Co Tennessee, c1865. She apparently died between 1887-1898, at which time James was married his 2nd wife, Jennie Gaston Broyles. Another one I found: Dst 8, Bethel Springs, McNairy Co Tennessee, 29 June 1870 pg 293 #146/146 William H. Barlow, age 52, farmer, $10,000/20000, Tennessee, Mary C., age 26, keeps house, Alabama, Mary C., age 5, Tennessee I can't place him into this family either. Anyone claim him? One more is Robert E. Barlow, I know he is a part of the family, but I just can't figure out whose child he was. One genealogy shows him a son of Samuel Paisley Barlow, but he's not in any of the census records.

For those of you interested in the information I sent moments ago, in looking at Lundie Barlow's work on the Isle of Wight family, I find the following: JESSE BARLOW6 (1740 - 1779) (Thomas5, George4, Thomas3, Henry2, Edward1) of Warwick, Virginia, and Isle of Wight, seems to have been engaged in business ventures of some kind which involved him in almost continuous litigation and encumbered his estate for sixteen years after his death. As a resident of Warwick in 1770 he sold the "Piney Point Plantation" inherited from his father; the next year he bought land in the same locality which had formerly belonged to his father-in-law; in 1773 he repurchased an adjoining tract bequeathed by his father to the latter's nephew William Carrell. Thereafter, Jesse Barlow occurs as a resident of Isle of Wight, but in 1776, he sold all of his land there to a neighbor, Richard Hardy, some three years before his death. His wife was Lucy Wills, daughter of Thomas Wills of Northampton, North Carolina, who pre-deceased him. Issue: 19. THOMAS7 20. probably Martha7 married John Shelley of Isle of Wight 21. Benjamin7 married Frances Jones, daughter of David Jones of Isle of Wight, and left issue. 22. Jesse7 23. Willis7 24. Frances7 married Drury Crocker of Isle of Isle of Wight I know that Thomas and the Crocker families came to Autauga, Dallas, and Lowndes Co' Alabama. I have nothing further on the Benjamin listed above. Could he be the one in Wake or Orange Co North Carolina? Based on naming practices of the time period, I suspect there were several Benjamin's. Has anyone tried to trace any of these Benjamin's? The reason I suspect that the John Barlow of Dallas Co Alabama previously mentioned is a member of the IOW family, is not because of his location, but because in the 1830 census of Dallas Co, he lives next door to Frances Barlow/Drury Crocker. Also, one of John's daughters, whom I have not been able to follow up, was married to a Crocker.

The orginal lineage I had was the direct family lineage of Vicki Roach with very few details. A query sent to me a few years back by Jan Ayers, tells the story of John Barlow Paisley, who was originally a Barlow, but adopted by Hugh Samuel Paisley after the death of his parents during the Civil War. I have always thought after seeing the "Paisley" name, that this had to be of the Thomas and Lucy family, because they had several children in the family with Paisley as a middle name. Below is what I have put together for Hugh Samuel Paisley and John Barlow, along with my thoughts from the research I have been doing. I may be way off base, but I believe for those of you researching these families, it could be worth looking into, particularly since there has been a brick wall here for sometime. JOHN BARLOW, son of John Herbert Barlow and Caroline Matilda Gill, (whom I strongly suspect is a son of Thomas Barlow and Lucy Hargis, was born April 1862 in Mississippi He was adopted by his paternal uncle, Hugh Samuel Paisley, and they lived in Alabama. Hugh had been a pioneer dentist in Mississippi prior to removing to Alabama. [JA] I do not know how the relationship comes into play with John's family. John also took the Paisley name, and was known as John Barlow Paisley. [JA] Selma, 2 Wd, Dallas Co Alabama 14 June 1870 pg 649 #135/135 Hugh Paisley, age 45, dentist, $125,000/400, North Carolina, Mollie, age 30, keeps house, Alabama, John, age 7, born in Mississippi, and William Ray, 32, studying dentistry, North Carolina. (Note: I had thought perhaps this was Mariah Barlow's husband, but the age difference is too great) Selma, 2 WD, Dallas Co Alabama 1880 pg 477 # H.S. Paisley, age 54, dentist, North Carolina, Mary, age 40, keeps house, Alabama, Jos. B. Paisley, age 16, born in Mississippi. John Barlow Paisley married CLAUDIA D. Selma, 2 WD, Prt 36, Dallas Co Alabama 04 June 1900 pg 250 #206/331 John B. Paisley, April 1862, Mississippi, Claudia D., November 1868, 31, Alabama, Mary R., July 1888, age 12, Alabama, Ruth, July 1891, age 8, Claudia A., August 1894, age , Alabama, Hugh S., March 1897, age 3, Rebecca C., November 1899, age 7 months, and Mary D., mother, widow, January 1836, age 64, Alabama. I could not locate John in 1910. This sure raises some questions; found in Edson's military records: Samuel P. Barlow, alias Hugh S. Paisley, Private Martin's 1st Alabama Volunteers --Mexican War-- Served 6 months in 1846 Pension application 18964 filed March 30, 1888, resident Florida Does anyone have a clue who this might be? Surely he too, has a relationship to this family. Was the Hugh that adopted John a Barlow also? Could this be him? I find a record of a Hugh Samuel Paisley in an online database for the Rives family: Hugh Samuel Paisley was born September 08, 1822 in North Carolina, and died January 22, 1895 Dallas or Lowndes Co Alabama. He married Sarah Ann Amelia Rives. Sarah, the daughter of Green Rives and Jerush May Paisley, was born October 12, 1825 in Richland District South Carolina, and died November 1948 in Collirene, Lowndes Co Alabama. Hugh married 2nd: Mary Elizabeth Dunklin on January 06, 1856 in Dallas or Lowndes Co Alabama. The dates would fit those of the Hugh who adopted John, and he was married to Mary D. But was he Hugh Barlow before he became a Paisley. Another thought that comes to mind: Why did Hugh Paisley choose to live in Dallas Co Alabama?  Coincidence, or did he have family already there. I recently did some work on the John Barlow of Dallas Co Alabama family, and wonder if there might not be a relationship between the two families. If you read the record above, you will note that Hugh supposedly was in Lowndes Co Alabama, where I know many of the Isle of Wight Barlow's lived in the early 1800's. It could be worth checking out if you are a part of either of these families lineage. I have not been able to prove it, but I strongly believe John of Dallas is a part of the Isle of Wight Virginia families.  It is also known through DNA testing that many of the Barlow/Barlar families in Tennessee were of the Isle of Wight families. Now, one other thing that might bear checking into. In the 1800 census index of Orange Co NC, I find a Benjamin Barlow..and wonder what his relationship to Thomas Barlow might be. Surely there is one. I recently spent a bit of time posting the Alfred Hirton Barlow family. Alfred was born in Wake Co North Carolina according to the researchers of this family. DNA testing has shown Alfred Hirton Barlow to be a part of the Isle of Wight families. I found records of Benjamin Barlow, also in Wake Co, though to my knowledge, nobody has put him together with the Alfred Hirton Barlow family. Orange Co and Wake Co's North Carolina are neighbors. Based on that fact, and the name 'Benjamin', I wonder if the Benjamin in Wake and Orange Co NC are related, and what might be their relationships to Alfred Hirton and Thomas Barlow. This could be the tie to bring those families together in the Isle of Wight lineage. I do not have the resources to follow this up, but it surely should be of interest to those of your tracing any of these families.

I have spent the last week or so working many hours on the Thomas and Lucy Hargis Barlow family of Orange Co North Carolina, whose families migrated to Hardin and McNairy Co's Tennessee. The orginal lineage I had was the direct family lineage of Vicki Roach with very few details. A query sent to me a few years back by Jan Ayers, tells the story of John Barlow Paisley, who was originally a Barlow, but adopted by Hugh Samuel Paisley after the death of his parents during the Civil War. I have always thought after seeing the "Paisley" name, that this had to be of the Thomas and Lucy family, because they had several children in the family with Paisley as a middle name. Below is what I have put together for Hugh Samuel Paisley and John Barlow, along with my thoughts from the research I have been doing. I may be way off base, but I believe for those of you researching these families, it could be worth looking into, particularly since there has been a brick wall here for sometime. JOHN BARLOW, son of John Herbert Barlow and Caroline Matilda Gill, (whom I strongly suspect is a son of Thomas Barlow and Lucy Hargis, was born April 1862 in Mississippi He was adopted by his paternal uncle, Hugh Samuel Paisley, and they lived in Alabama. Hugh had been a pioneer dentist in Mississippi prior to removing to Alabama. [JA] I do not know how the relationship comes into play with John's family. John also took the Paisley name, and was known as John Barlow Paisley. [JA] Selma, 2 Wd, Dallas Co Alabama 14 June 1870 pg 649 #135/135 Hugh Paisley, age 45, dentist, $125,000/400, North Carolina, Mollie, age 30, keeps house, Alabama, John, age 7, born in Mississippi, and William Ray, 32, studying dentistry, North Carolina. (Note: I had thought perhaps this was Mariah Barlow's husband, but the age difference is too great) Selma, 2 WD, Dallas Co Alabama 1880 pg 477 # H.S. Paisley, age 54, dentist, North Carolina, Mary, age 40, keeps house, Alabama, Jos. B. Paisley, age 16, born in Mississippi. John Barlow Paisley married CLAUDIA D.

A new contact, Jane McAshan jmcash@earthlink.net has contributed new information and photos for the James Judson Barlow and Cornelia V. Lee. (photos are of J.J. Barlow, JJ and son, Thomas Lee, Cornelia and sons, Thomas Lee and JJ, Jr., and of Estelle McCracken, wife of Thomas Lee.) Also of great interest to Jackie Helfrich, is for Richard Wood Barlow who married E.W. Clar. E.W. is Emmerette Williamson Lee, sister of Cornelia Virginia Barlow. She was born June 11, 1844 in Autauga Co Alabama, and died November 06, 1885 in Autauga Co Alabama. She had previously been married to Mr. Clar. Jan is also going to send documents, ie..marriage and death certificates etc..so keep watch on this url for the next week or so. http://www.barlowgenealogy.com/Families/IsleofWight/ThomasBarlowJr-IOW.h tml Susan LOOKING FOR BARLOWS BARLOW GENEALOGY http://www.barlowgenealogy.com "A website for everyone researching the surname Barlow,any spelling or variation, anywhere, anytime... includes....Barlow, Barlowe, Barlo, Barloe, Barler, Parler, Parlur, Barlage,and others yet to be discovered"

Does anyone know how to reach Nancy Burke. In found the following query on the website while working on KY marriage records. I added a note to the bottom which, if she hasn't gotten an answer to her query, might put her on another track in her search for Sarah Barlow. Nancy Burke invalid email I am interested in a Sarah BARLOW who married Thomas SIMMONS in -probably- Halifax Co 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 Co. 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 Kentucky. Probably Pleasant Run, Hardin Community, Washington Co Kentucky. I know nothing about Sarah before she married Thomas. Sarah died 25 March 1846 in Bartholomew Co Indiana. She and Thomas travelled from Virginia through Kentucky -Washington Co- where their first child, Martha was born. --Martha was Thomas's mothers' name. 2nd child, Priscilla; 3rd Mary Ellen; 4th Benjaman Franklin --Thomas's fathers' name was Benjamin-; 5th Missouri /Melissa; 6th, John Wesley; 7th Thomas -middle name Henry?- I would appreciate any information about Sarah BARLOW prior to her marriage to Thomas SIMMONS.  Note from Susan: I find it interesting that a Nancy Barlow married Thomas Simmons on August 25, 1824 in Washington Co Kentucky. Could Sarah and Nancy be the same person?

I have added a chart to the GDR to further explain how genetic distance reporting works. I am not scientific minded either, and probably don't understand any more of this than some of you, but these tell us a lot closer who we are related to, and whom we are not. For instance, I had spent countless hours trying to prove a relationship to my John of Mississippi to the IOW group, and this testing tells me that has been a waste of time, no relationship could possibly exist. I do spend time on IOW still, but not in trying to prove a relationship, just enjoy doing it.
