A Poll tax was paid for William on the 1762 tax list which indicates he was born by 1746 to James Barrow and Rachel [unknown birth surname]. At the time of his birth, James was documented in Beaufort County, North Carolina.

Pitt County was created in 1761 from Beaufort County where one James Barrow was taxed in 1762 for three whites, James, Samuel, and William, and four blacks.[1] The household of William was not enumerated on the 1790 or the 1800 Census for Pitt County, North Carolina which indicates he was perhaps in another household.[2]

Indenture James Barrow and William Barrow 1801


There was another William Barrow who signed as a witness to the sale of a enslaved "Negro" Boy named Cain on the 26th day of May 1801 by James Barrow and William Barrow of Pitt County, North Carolina.[3] He did not sign as a Junior which suggests he was perhaps not this William's son.

On the 20th day of July 1807, William Barrow of Pitt County, North Carolina sold to James Barrow a parcel of land lying in Pitt County on the South side of Grindal Creek and the North side of the Tarr river which bounded on Samuel Barrows line and others.[4] The signature on this conveyance appears to be the same style as that of the witness to the 1801 sale.

William's wife was Clementine Moore.

North Carolina, Pitt County, November Term 1807 - On the petition of William Barrow & others ordered that Sherwood Hine, John Flemming, Robert Hatton, Shadrach Rogers & Joseph Griffen be appointed commissioners to divide and appropriate to William Barrow and Clemmentine his wife, Morgan Buck and Levina his wife and to Caswell Moore their one tenth parts of the lands belonging to the Estate of Obediah Moore Deceased respectively agreeably to the prayer of the petitioners and to make report of their proceedings to the next Term of this Court. signed George Evans Clk. by Richard Evans.[5] A division of the lands was made and recorded February term 1808.

On the 29th day of June 1809, William Barrow and Clementia Barrow of the county of Pitt in consideration of the sum of $1,050.00 paid by James Barrow of Pitt conveyed a certain piece or parcel of land lying and being as follows at a Pine Obadiah Moor and Tuckers corner on a prong of Cannons Swamp...running between Lott No. 2 and No. 3 two of the lots in the division of Obadiah Moores land...middle of the middle swamp then the middle of said swamp to a maple dividing corner made between Rogers and said Moore. At the same time Clementia Barrow one of grantors was examined by J. Carney Esqr. one of the court appointed for that purpose who reported that the said Clementia acknowledge that she exeucted said deed of her own free will and ansord [sp] without fear or compulsion of her husband the said William Barrow.[6]

A court record in 1822 recorded that Clemmy, the wife of William Barrow, Caswell Moore, and Vinny the wife of Morgan Buck and other Moores, recorded in the division of lands, were not inhabitants of the state of North Carolina.[7] Given the fact the households of William Barrow and Caswell Moore were found on the 1820 Census for Jefferson County, Georgia, William's family had migrated to Georgia after the 1809 land sale. William Barrow was first enumerated on the 1812 Tax List for Jefferson County, Georgia as one of the defaulters.[8] The household of William Barrow on the 1820 Census in Jefferson County, Georgia was enumerated with:

two males 10-16 [Lorenzo, William E.], one male 45 and over,
two females under 10, two females 16-26, one female 26-45[9]

There was also a younger William Barrow, age 16 to 26, enumerated on the 1820 Census for Jefferson County who was perhaps this William's son.

William was on the Jefferson County Tax Digest through 1821.[10] Based on the tax records, William died in 1822. The 1830 Census enumerated the household of Clementina Barrow with:

two males 20 to 30, two females 15-20, one female 20-30, one female 50-60[11]

Children

Given his age, William was perhaps married prior to marrying Clementine Moore.

Children of William Barrow born to Clementine Moore were:

Lorenzo D. Barrow
William E. Barrow (born 1810 - died )[12]

[other children are still be researched]

Research notes

According to descendants this is the William who passed away in 1838 in Mississippi. [13] Based on the deeds cited, this William Barrow is not the same William Barrow who died in 1838 in Mississippi.

Land records prove this William Barrow, son of James Barrow, was not the father of the linked Samuel Barrow. Census records for that Samuel shows he was born in 1805 in Tennessee.

On the 27th day of August 1806 one William Barrow and Lydia his wife of the county of Robertson, Tennessee sold to Obediah Moore, of the county of Pitt, 33 & 2/3 acres of land being part of the land divided among the heirs of Mansah Barber deceased.[14] "Obediah Moore produced a deed of conveyance made to him by William Barrow and Lydia his wife of a certain tract of land lying and being in the county of Pitt and procured the same to be proved in our county of Pitt it being represented to our Court that Lydia wife of the said William Barrow is an inhabitant of the state of Tennessee that she can not travel to the court of our said county of Pitt be previly examined as to her free consent In executing the said conveyance therefore we command you that at such certain day and place as you shall think fit you go to said Lydia if she cannot conveniently come to you and privily and apart from her husband examine Her..." On "April the 4th 1807 agreeable to an order...we the under writers have met and examined Mrs. Lydia Barrow wife of William Barrow of Robertson County Tennessee respecting of the conveyance of the above tract land and she informed us that she did not assign the above deed through fear favor or affection, but through a pure desire and wish to convey her right and title to said land to said Obediah Moore. " [15]

The land records of Robertson County, Tennessee recorded deeds for one James Barrow in 1812[16] as well as William Barrow in 1811[17] and Willie Barrow.[18] Given the fact this William, son of James Barrow, brother, James, was still documented in Pitt County, North Carolina during this period, the William Barrow and James Barrow in the records of Robertson County were perhaps related to James Barrow son of Joseph Barrow. An indenture made by Willie Barrow selling land in Robertson County, Tennessee in 1814 to Benjamin Tucker recorded that Willie was then a resident of Davidson County, Tennessee.[19]

The only William Barrow found on Census records for Tennessee was in Lincoln County in 1820 as age 26 to 45,[20] and in Henderson County in 1830 recorded as age 50 to 60.[21]
