Hubbel living in the household, he is also recorded as being born in Canada. I have found a book that talks about St. Lawrence County and has a reference to the "windmill" and "Hiram W. Barlow" it says the following: "The following is a list, as nearly as could be procured, of the prisoners taken at the wind mill, and tried at Kingston....Hiram W. Barlow, 19 (St. L. co), pardoned" It's weird b/c at the top it says the ones that were in italics were the only ones not sentenced to be hung. Hiram was not in italics...but it does say that he was pardoned... The book is: Hough, Franklin Benjamin, [View Citation] [Table of Contents] [Page Numbers] A history of St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties, New York : from the earliest period to the present time Albany N.Y.: Little, 1853, 723 pgs. So from this, in 1840 Hiram W. Barlow did infact live in St. Lawrence County. in another book, about the same thing it lists Hiram W. Barlow, 19, Morristown, pardoned. I have checked the civil war records for Morristown and did not find Hiram on there at all...but Morristown is a start atleast. I found a birth in 1849 to a Stephen and Maria Barlow in Pierrepont, St. Lawrence, NY. In pre-1850 newspapers the following was found...please notice the last name on one of the documents: Patriot War POW to be released another list of POWs to be released soon includes Hiram W. Barlow of SLC 11 Apr. 30, 1839 Patriot War POW's an article written by two former prisoners lists men still being held by the British on the penal colony of Van Dieman's Island in the Pacific 1 Mar. 1, 1844 Patriot War POW's escape 15 prisoners being held at Ft. Henry near Kingston escaped and 13 of them made it to safety in Watertown 11 Aug. 7, 1838 Patriot War POW's listed the prisoners taken at Prescott are listed along with ages and residences. Issue of Jan. 1, 1839 lists trial details including those for Culver S. Clark, 18, of Franklin Co., Andrew Richardson of SLC, Hiram W. Barton 19, of SLC and Jeff Norris of VT but lately of Rossie Village 11 Nov. 27, 1838 and Jan. 1, 1839 also in old newspapers, a possible brother or? Died. Barlow. In Canton, Jan. 4, 1890, Mr. William Barlow, in the 85th year of his age. Mr. Barlow was a native of Pittsford, Vt., but has been a resident of this county for the last 73 years.
