I'm searching for George Barlow, born in New York, probably about 1816. Daughter, Martha Marie Barlow, born in Wisconsin July, 1855. Martha married Benjamin (Benaji?) Webb Busby in Winona County, Minnesota on February 2, 1876. Any information on Martha's parents would be appreciated. Barbara Sullivan

Barbara, Not sure I can be of any "help," other that join you as another seeker in trying to sort out the many Barlows in NY during the early 19th century. I am searching for a John W. Barlow, born around 1810, in NY. Migrated to Ohio in early 1830s, then back to Dunkirk, NY, then to KY, finally settling in the Iowa in the 1840s. He was a land speculator in the Iowa Territory in the 1830/40s and did some land patents there with a George Barlow in the 1830s--could well have been his brother or other relative. John W. Barlow also named his first born son George--given naming patterns of the time, could well be after his brother. Don't know if connected, but I always try to respond to queries of this sort on the off chance someone might have or recognize a connection. You can contact me off list if there is more to discuss on this. Take care, Bob At 04:56 PM 3/11/2004 -0800, you wrote: >I'm searching for George Barlow, born in New York, probably about >1816.
