Please Note:

  • Some records list John S. Barlow by the surname BarLAR and even as BarLER.

  • Like the William Henry Barlow (Barlar) family branch, the descendants of John S. Barlow who remained in the area of Giles County, TN eventually began using the Barlar surname permanently. However, the descendants of his older brother, Charles P. Barlow, appear to have retained the original Barlow surname.

  • Records show that John S Barlow of Lawrence County, TN was married in 1865 to Eleanor Johnson, which would make Josie his second wife.

  • Eleanor (Johnson) Barlow was the daughter of John O. Johnson (1811 - 03/30/1915) --- her mother's name is not yet known.

  • In the 1870 census, Eleanor (Johnson) Barlow and her three Barlow children are living with her father and stepmother Cynthia (King?); so it appears that Eleanor & her husband John S. Barlow were divorced.
