Descendants of Thomas Barrow
Generation 3
—THOMAS3 BARROW, SR. (THOMAS BARROW2 (1), JOHN1 BARROW) He married ELIZABETH HORTON, daughter of THOMAS HORTON and UNKNOWN.
Notes for Thomas Barrow, Sr and Elizabeth Horton Barrow, by Hugh Will Barrow: “Although Thomas Barrow, Sr., never signed his name Senior, he did leave property in his will which he signed by “mark”, to Thomas, Jur. We have evidence that he was born sometimes between 1662 and 1667, as we know that he lived to an age of 95 to 100 years. He married Elizabeth Horton, daughter of Thomas Horton. He is listed as a tithable in the household of George Blow, Jr, husband of his mother, in 1693. Thomas, SR lived in Surry, Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties, VA and died testate in Southampton in 1762. His will named seven children, Simon, Thomas Jur, John, Elizabeth, Jane, Sarah and Fortune. He outlived his son, Thomas by about a year.
We have well documentation on his will, numerous land transactions and proof that he was in the household of his stepfather, George Blow, JR. Some Barrow family historians have said that this Thomas was the emigrant to the colony but I am certain that this is not the case at all.”
