  "The source is listed below in the copy of an email I received from a volunteer at the Belfast HIstorical society who I contacted with the request of whether a parish record existed for William. (This was becaue the previous record I sent you was an extraction, and I hoped the original parish record was available.)  You will see that the record (an extraction by a Queen's universtiy professor of history) explains why we have so many discrepancies in family records over what William's birth date was.  All we can verify is that he was christened either July 20 or 27.  (This jives with Uncle Grant Lee who did the research for the Lee Family.)  I'm still trying to reconcile why we think he was born in Carrickfergus if he was christened in Belfast.  Pleae let me know if you come across any confirming evidence."

Buried Barlow Cemetery, Barlow, Oregon. Samuel married 2nd Elizabeth Shepard, but was divorced.     "The Barlows are recognized in Oregon as Pioneers of 1845. Samuel developed a road through the mountains and into Oregon City that became the overland terminus of the Oregon Trail. It became known as the Barlow Road, which still carries considerable renown. Local schools can be found named for one or the other of the Barlows. There is a small town of Barlow south of Canby, founded by William Barlow, their oldest son. A local chapter of the Dar adopted the name of Susannah Lee Barlow as their chapter name. A monument to her can be found in Government Camp, along what used to be the Barlow Road" Letter from Gale Carson GGGrand Son To Grant Lee of Boise, Idaho October 21, 2004.

"The Barlows settled in Oregon City and in Mollala, to the south. Their eldest son, William, established the town of Barlow. He built his home on the outskirts of Barlow, now at the southern edge of Canby on the main highway. The Barlow House was owned privately by Virginia Miller, who thought of herself as a reincarnation of William's wife Martha, and had carefully restored and preserved the house. Until recently it was shown by appointment; but I'm not sure if that is still true. Samuel and Susannah Barlow had seven children, two of whom died yound in the Midwest, but all the rest made it to Oregon, and of those all but one settled in or around Oregon City." Letter from Gale Carson to Grant Lee of Boise 14 July 2004. Samuel married 2nd Elizabeth Shepard, but was divorced.

Samuel Kimbrough Barlow
(find a grave)

Birth: Dec. 4, 1794
Nicholas County
Kentucky, USA
Death: Jul. 15, 1867
Clackamas County
Oregon, USA

Samuel K. Barlow, an early settler in the township, and who laid out the original town plat of Bridgeport on land of John Furnas, located a short distance south of that village, in the northwest part of Decatur.
He was always regarded as well behaved and peace-able, yet he had the misfortune to become the slayer of a man named Matlack, who was his brother-in-law. It appears that upon the fatal occasion he visited Matlack's house (in Hendricks County), and upon seeing Matlack attempt to whip his wife with a cow-hide. Barlow interfered for the protection of the woman, and in the fight which ensued Matlack was killed. For the homicide Barlow was confined along time in the Hendricks County jail, and finally brought to trial, which resulted in his acquittal, but the cost of his defense was so heavy that he was compelled to sell his property to pay it. He then removed from Decatur to Iowa, and afterwards to Oregon. He even was appointed justice of the peace in Clackamas county. The Barlow pass is named after him & the town of Barlow, Oregon is named after his son, William.

Birth: Oct. 26, 1822
Marion County

Death: Jun. 18, 1904
Barlow
Clackamas County
Oregon, USA

William was the 2nd born child to Susannah Lee & Samuel Kimbrough Barlow. His siblings: Sarah b 1821; James K b 1826; John Lawson b 1828; Elizabeth Jane b 1832; all born in Marion Co, IN.
His family were pioneers of 1845 taking the Oregon Trail to The Dalles, OR and trailblazing what came to be known as The Barlow Road over Mt Hood to Oregon City, arriving in Dec of that year.
William and his brothers, ages 17-23, would have been a great help to their father Samuel in finding a way overland to avoid taking a raft up the Columbia River from The Dalles.
William would purchase his father's DLC in Clackamas Co where today the City of Barlow is located, then known as the lower Molalla.
When his mother, Susannah, died in 1852, Samuel donated land for the Barlow Pioneer Cemetery for her burial. William's brother James K was buried there in 1866 and Samuel K himself in 1867.

William married first to Rachel Larkins, sister to Rebecca who married William's brother James.
Following Rachel's death, he married Martha Ann Partlow who had been widowed 2 times. She brought several children to their marriage and they had 3 more: MarySusannah b 1853, Virginia Ann b 1856, Cassius Union b 1858. Sadly, Virginia died at 10 yrs of age.

William and Martha Ann platted the city of Barlow in 1891 which became an incorporated city in Feb 1903.
He built a lovely Italianette style home for his wife & large family who came and went from that large residence until his death. His daughter Mary Susannah inherited the house and land before she married, but sold it out of the family in 1906.
William bought and sold many parcels of land in and around Clackamas Co before his death in 1904.
At one time between he and his two brothers their land holdings totaled nearly 2000 acres.

Siblings memorial pgs include JohnLawsonBarlow and JamesBarlow
