This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Barlow Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/2030.2654.1 Message Board Post: Try the county site at www.usgenweb.org. There is a transcription of the 1870 census for the county. There is no Hiram Barlow listed so I suspect that for at least that year, he was not living in the county. Try www.fultonhistory.com and http://news.nnyln.net/ for searchable old newspaper pages on line. Something may show up. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
