Frances, Did you say you have a listing of Jesse's siblings? If so, do they include a Benjamin and possibly a Thomas?

I believe Freedman and Coppage skidded off of the road in looking at this for the following reasons. 1. Lewis Carlton is listed as a brother-in-law. 2. There is a daughter named "Elizabeth Jane" Barlow. Why on earth would you try to extrapolate that it was two daughters named "Elizabeth" and "Jane"? Why would you not think that she was named after a mother "Elizabeth Jane" after finding both names mentioned as Thomas' wife? 3. I have buckets full of ancestors that did not use their own name but were known generally by a pet name that their husband gave them early on. My own first name is Francis but there thousands of people (including all of my family) that have only known me as "Jim". 4. Thomas Barlow's wife signed with an "X". She would have no idea what name the lawyer had written on the paper. He may have never heard the name Elizabeth used. I think that listing a "Jane" as the second wife or indeed the only wife and excluding Elizabeth as some have tried is pretty much of a reach... It is hard to exclude her when a Carlton is listed as a brother-in-law to Thomas. I just like to keep pointing this out as the (IMHO) weak "Jane" theory is so often accepted just because it was published. Books are full of errors... BTW, My ggg-grandmother Nancy Gosnell (who married Jesse Barlow) had a brother Benjamin. The Gosnell's and the Barlow's migrated together and married back and forth a number of times. especially in Thomas Barlows' children. Another note: The origin of this line is generally unknown but I would like to point out that Milton Barlow (of the William Henry Harrison Barlow line) said in the History Of Kentucky that his family were originally French Huguenots... And one last thing, The Barlow Clearinghouse is a great well ran site and my personal disagreement with some contributed information is in no way meant to reflect on it in any negative manner.

May I quote you on those pages Francis? I have not done any research on these families, but really love it when someone does do enough research to contradict what is written. Too many folks think that just because it is written, it is fact! I'd like to have both yours and their information on the page, so that serious researchers won't keep copying the same information without checking out the sources first! Thank you!
