In 1820 I did the same thing and came up with Coleman Barrel. In 1830 it came up with Jeremiah Barley, Moses Brrly, Samuel BARLOW, FRANCIS BARLOW, and David Brrel. When I did a search in 1830 for anyone named Hiram in the county there was a Hiram Bailey. There was someone with the first name Wheeler, but their last name was Odell. In 1820 there is a Hiram Baker. there were some in 1830 I just didn't include it because I don't think it is a relation. I did find your relative in 1860 in Oswego County, NY Harmon W. Barlow 40 Mary F Barlow 33 Hariet A Barlow 19 Henry E Barlow 16 Aonethe Barlow 11 Harmon W Barlow 9 Hilpha Barlow 3 the post office says Oswego so I think that they probably lived in Oswego. In 1850 he is in Oswego, Oswego Hiram W. Barlow 31 his daughter Henrietta who was 7 was listed as being born in Canada. His daughter Arenath who was 2 was listed as being born in Canada. same with his daughter Harriet who was 9. Mary, his wife who was 31 was also listed as being born in Canada. Saint Lawrence County is right on the border of Canda, and my family constantly went between the two making it so hard to track them. I am guessing that this is the same with your family. There was another family of Barlows in Oswego in 1850, but there is no way to find out if the two were related at this time. It looks as though Hiram was an important name in the family because in the SSDI there was a Hiram Barlow b. 4/30/1916 that died in November 1976. I'm guessing he was related as his last residence was Minetto, Oswego, NY. On a rootsweb family tree someone has Hiram's father as being James Barlow that was born in Yorkshire, England. No mother listed. It looks as though they have him being in the Battle of the Windmill Military Service, 1837 in Prescott, Ontario, Canada. In 1862 they have him living at 78 Water St. and in 1864 being in the Military, 24th regiment cavalry, company G. In 1865 they said he lived in Auburn, NY (which should be Cayuga County). From what their notes say he was in the Canadian Census in 1821 and 1831 and in the US census in 1830- 1870. it says that he died in July 25, 1876 in Oswego, NY and is buried in the Oswego Rural Cemetery. There may be other relatives there, you may want to look into that. Also I would check in the "Genealogy of the Santee Family in America" by Elias M. Santee, MD; 1899; 1927, reprinted by Higginson Book Company. they may have some information on him as Mary's husband. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
