- Information concerning Samuel's vocation while living in England was somewhat cryptic. The data available stated the following: Samuel, rough work of a home where he was treated badly and upon finishing his work one morning even to starting breakfast for the family and taking a book he was interested in, while waiting for the rest to get up, the man of the house came in and upon seeing him reading, picked up a stick and threatened him. But the boy had stood as much already as was possible and without warning, he jumped upon his master and giving him a thorough body beating, immediately left his service.
The above information was taken from the Barlow file in the Barnesville, Ohio Public Library, Genealogy Section.
Samuel was born in Darlington, England in 1819. His father was James Barlow (1778 - 1854) His mother was Margaret Bulmer. Samuel had three brothers, Thomas, Henry and Charles, three half brothers, and four half sisters. (James was married three times, the first two wives dying at an early age).
James, his third wife and three children migrated to this country in 1831 and settled in Baltimore. James' other children remained in England Another child, Amos, was born while in the Baltimore area. Around 1837, the family relocated to Barnesville, Ohio.
Samuel did migrate to this country but at present, there is no information as to when. He married Elizabeth Jane Hunt after arriving in this country. The only data gleaned thus far concerning Samuel was from probate information found in the Belmont County Courthouse in St. Clairsville, OH. Samuel lived in Chillicothe but it is not clear if that was where he lived at the time of his death.
An educated guess as to when Samuel died would be late 1854 or early 1855. This is based on the date of the probate of Samuel's will and may explain why his father, James, in his Will, left the house and lot on which they resided to Samuel's wife, Elizabeth Hunt (Barlow) and explains why the Probate was done in Belmont County rather than Ross County, where the family had resided. (James wrote his will in September 1854 and died a short time later. As near as can be determined, Samuel couldn't have been more than 35 - 40 when he died. That deduction is based on the fact that his parents ware married in 1814 and his mother died sometime prior to 1822. The probate data revealed that his survivors were his wife Elizabeth and five children under the age of fourteen. They were, Charles, Mary Ellen, Wilson, John, and Elizabeth Ann.
