Biography

William is estimated to have been born about 1735.

Some researchers believe that William Barlow married Sarah Turner (1741-1800).

William received a land grant of 100 acres "On the forks of the Little Marsh being the same with Pughs Marsh." Robert Edwards surveyed the plat on 12 November 1764. Chainers were William Barlow and John Shuestens. Grant No. 41 was issued to William on Oct. 28, 1765.^[1] A second cover sheet exists for grant #41. No additional pages are available, so it can't be determined whether William received an addiitonal 100 acres on the same grant number, or if File 1685 is a duplicate. The cover sheets on both files show that the grants were recorded in deed books. However, FamilySearch has not digitized Deed books 17 and 18 and these volumes are likely among the records lost in three Bladen County courthouse fires. ^[2]

William Barlow and William Maulteby witnessed an indenture made August 6, 1771, deed no. 207 from George Ikner to Philip Ikner. For the sum of forty [cut off] proclamation money... The land was on the north side of Pugh's Little Marsh, containing 100 acres of land and was a patent originally granted to John Johnson Jr. bearing date Nov. 18th 1754. By a deed dated Oct 1, 1757, Johnson conveyed the land to Thomas Fail [Fuld?] and thence was conveyed to Sumerset Donahue by deed dated July 20, 1763 and conveyed from Donohue to George Ikner by a deed dated September 1763. The deed was witnessed and recorded in May Court, 1772. ^[3]

A 1774 deed from George Ikner to Joseph Price revealed that William no longer owned the Pughs Marsh land he had been granted in 1765. In the land description Ikner stated, "Containing 100 acres as may more fully appear by his Majesty's letter patent granted to William Barlow, bearing date Oct. 28, 1765 and by deed conveyed from Said Barlow to John Shoesler and from him to George Ikner." John Shoesler was the same man who helped William carry chains to survey his land. ^[4]

William's death date is unknown but likely occurred in Bladen County, North Carolina.

DNA Notes

Y-DNA Barlow project. Within the BARLOW FamilyTreeDNA Project, administrators have established Group 7, called "Wm of Robeson." That is the William of this profile. The Group 7 Y-testers includes one tester identified as a descendant of Branson Barlow and one descended from Elias Barlow, both of whom were descendants of William. (William had multiple descendants named Elias Barlow. The listing doesn't specify which one was claimed by the tester.) This group has ten testers, of whom only four carry the Barlow surname. Testers descended from a Barlow in Lancashire England were placed in Group 1. Testers who identified their ancestry as being from "Isle of Wight" were placed in Group 2, thus both of those locations would not share an ancestral home with "Wm of Bladen." None of the testers identified themselves having a Barlow ancestor from Scotland.
