Marcia, I'm Mattie Holmes Barrows' great-granddaughter. She married Raymond Carpenter Colwell 20 Aug 1918 in New York, New York. Her sister Gertrude Helen Barrows married John Edward Adams in Jun 1921. I don't have information on Clara Eddy Barrows' marriage (if there was one).

Barrows & Helen Alverson, marriage Sep 17, 1863 Eva A Barrows of Ozro C. and Helen A Barrows, born Jul 23, 1869, died Feb 21 1873 Ozro C. Barrows & Jennie A. Eddy, marriage Jul 10,1888 children: Mattie H. born Apr 4, 1893 Clara E. born Oct 27, 1845 Gertrude H. born Dec 2, 1897 In Rhode Island Vitals which only go up to 1850, there are several records of Ozro's church membership and dismissals (leaving to join another church) all at Bristol. Maybe he moved back and forth between R.I. and Mass.? In the Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries Transcriptions I found only one of the three daughters born to Ozro and Jennie: Mattie H. (Barrows) Colwell 1892-1947 buried at Pocasset Cem., Cranston. (I have an Eddy 4th great grandmother) Don't know what else I could do for you with the Vitals only going to 1850. Do you have a name for the groom?
