- James Barlow - Born in Sheffield ,England in 1778. Married to Lady Newton, aka. ElizabethToalby, date unknown. Three children. James and Margaret, and John. There is some question as to the correct spelling and pronunciation of Elizabeth's maiden name. Research by Janice Barlow Dykes at the Darlington Library found the marriage license of James and Elizabeth. Janice said that Elizabeth's maiden name was very difficult to read but she believed it to be Toalby. This may be correct since one of their sons, John was named John Toalby Barlow. The name Waisby came from a document by an unknown author and was found in the public library in Barnesville, Ohio.
Lady Newton, Elizabeth, died in 1811, at age 27. Some time later, James married her cousin. The cousin was also a Lady Newton, aka. Margaret Bulmer. From this marriage came four sons; Thomas, Henry, Samuel and Charles.
Subsequently, the second Lady Newton passed away and James married a third time to Ann Nixon. The family resided in Darlington, England and began James's third family, a daughter, Elizabeth Ann, born 1817, a son, William J., born December 5, 1824. At the time of this marriage to James, Ann Nixon already had an eight year old daughter, Ann. It is not clear as to who the father of Ann was. It was said by one of her descendants that Ann was illegitimate. It is assumed that James adopted Ann because records indicate that Ann Nixon Barlow married Richard Woodland.
During the Administration of Andrew Jackson (1829-1837), James migrated to the United States and arrived in Baltimore, Md. on September 30, 1831. He came alone and was listed on the ship's manifest as age 50 with the occupation of Farmer. However, records in England indicate that James was a weaver or cordwainer.
Speculation is that perhaps James thought emigrating as a farmer was more likely to get him into the country. His family arrived some time later (to be determined) After arriving in Baltimore, it is not known what occupation James had but the family did stay in the Baltimore area for approximately six years. During that time, they had another son, Amos, born in 1832. In 1837, the family moved to Barnesville, Ohio where they bought a farm on the south side of town. It is not known what prompted the move other than the Barnesville except that there has been evidence that other Barlows were in that area. Thus far, no one has been able to make a connection. There is most likely a connection, perhaps cousins, but that is yet to be determined.William J., James' son by his third wife also migrated to the U.S. at some point in time and subsequently settled in Barnesville, Ohio. William J. died February 20, 1898 and his wife Hannah, died December 28, 1895. They are buried in the Green Mount Cemetery in Barnesville.
James' Last Will and Testament bequeathed either money or property to all of his children except Margaret, who remained in England, and Samuel, who migrated to the United States sometime after James.
This data gleaned from a two page, author unknown, paper in the Barlow file of the Barnesville, Ohio Public Library, Genealogy Room andfrom the Darling, England Public Library.
