Biography

John Barrows served with 7th Massachusetts Regiment (1777), Continental Army during the American Revolution.

• ”THE BARROWS FAMILY
• The family of Barrows is an old one in America. The immigrant ancestor was John Barrows, who came to this continent in I637. The line is as follows:
  • (I) John Barrows. born in England in 1609, left Yarmouth, that country, at the age of twenty-eight years, with his wife, Anne, and they settled in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony, receiving grants of land there in 1637 and remaining in the town for twenty-eight years. They removed to Plymouth before 1665, and there John Barrows died in 1692. His will shows that he left a second wife, younger than himself. He had four sons, all born in Salem.
  • (II) Robert Barrows, eldest of these sons, was born in Salem. He married, November 28, 1666, Ruth Bonum. He removed with his father to Plymouth. He married (second) Lydia Dunham.
  • (III) George Barrows, second son of Robert and Ruth (Bonum) Barrows, was born in 1670 in Plymouth, and was a successful commissioner in treating with the Indians. By his skill he kept good will and secured peace to the early settlers, a service that earned for him the title of "Captain George.” He was a landholder and had a large family.
  • (IV) John Barrows and his wife, Jemima Barrows, of English origin, are described in family records as representing the fourth generation in this line. They were early settlers of Colrain, Massachusetts, and the record of them and their descendants was collected by R. J. Barrows, of Jamestown.”^[1]
