Family Facts:

_Between 1860 and 1880, the Barlow surname was dropped and Barlar became the surname commonly used by William Henry and his male offspring. An exception was in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census record, in which, 'Doc' Barlow chose to list himself and his family by his true surname, rather than Barlar.

_His marriage to Mattie took place on Dec. 2, 1885, and his marriage to Zana took place on Sep 15, 1890.

_Martha 'Mattie' (Gifford) Barlow died just short of her 19th birthday. Her burial place is in the Gilliam Cemetery, north of Minnow Branch Rd in Giles County, Tennessee.
