• Notes

  Henry Barlow was the son of James Barlow and Elizabeth Watson Barlow. He was born in Darlington and baptized at St. Cuthbert's church. His father was listed as a filecutter/wheel wright or filesmith. It is speculated that Henry and his family emigrated to the U. S. when their son William was young. An article from the Barnesville, Ohio Enterprise describes the life and death of William and his brother Amos. In 1827, Henry was trading as a grocer, linen thread manufacturer and small ware dealer in Bondgate, Darlington. In 1832, he was among the signaturists on a letter to Joseph Pease Jun. Esq. asking him to stand as the candidate for the Parliment in the general election for the constituency of Southern County Durham. In 1841, Henry was living in Shildon with Ann and Elizabeth, and also Thomas and his wife and family. There, he operated as a grocer in the Market Place. By 1851 he was back in Bondgate, Darlington (listed as no.100, but eleswhere as no. 99) In the last few months of his life, he was persuaded by his wife to join the Quakers but only attended one meeting before his death on 26th February, 1852. His death was recorded in The British Friend of April 1852 and briefly in the Darlington and Stockton Times of February 28, 1852. From the British Friend; "At Darlington, Henry Barlow, scnr., aged 69. He had for 50 years made a Christian profession, and was remarkable for the sincerity, meekness, and glentleness of his spirit. He had been but about two months a member of our religious Society, and was only able to be once at meeting since his admission." From the book "Men that Are gone From The Streets of Darlington", the following is excerpted from page 238: "Here we are at the corner shop where two old maids swelt and dealt, and deemed it no breach of the decalogue to sell pennyworths of mint lozenges to the hoarse choristers who deserted the rood left for a few moments only to recruit their powers of psalmody. This was the same shop Mr. Henry Barlow commenced the business which he subsequently transferred to the north-west corner of Skinnergate. He was a quiet, unassuming man, with energy enough for moil and toil, but without capacity for a struggle. He was an honest, respectable tradesman, and no doubt had reasons satisfactory to himself for his late in life abjuration of Methodism, and attendance at the worship of the Society of Friends. He died February 26, 1852, aged sixty nine."
