      2. Censuses:
      1850 US: Middle Ward Rock Island City, Dist. 37, Rock Island County, Illinois, 26 Oct 1850:
      Household 1165:
      Jonathan W. Barlow, 46, laborer, Mass.
      Lucinda Barlow, 27, OH.
      Alvina, 8, Iowa.
      Hiram, 6, Illinois.
      Nathan, 4, Illinois.
      Ellen, 6/12, Illinois.
      Household 1166:
      Truman Barlow, 30, laborer, Mass.
      Annis Barlow, 76, Mass.
      George Stone, 46, laborer, NY.
      George Stone, 15, laborer, Ohio.
      Cecilia Stone, 6, Mich.

      1860 US: Rock Island 1st Ward, Rock Island, Illinois, pg. 155, household 1161, 29 Jun 1860:
      Lucinda Barlow, widow, age 38, born in Ohio, noted that she cannot write and received help as a poor person.
      Hirum Barlow, age 16, born in Illinois.
      Ellen, age 10, born in Illinois.
      Napoleon Barlow, age 5, born in Illinois. [Since Watson died in 1851, this last child Napoleon may not have been Watson's unless records are inaccurate.]

      3. Son Nathan Van Buren Barlow appears by himself at age 11 living in the family of Isaac Epperly, a farmer, in Muscatine Co., Iowa. He appears to have been in the Civil War per the following from Ancestry.com. Muscatine is very close to Rock Island. "Name: Nathan V Barlow; Residence: Muscatine, Iowa; Enlistment Date: 11 August 1862; Distinguished Service; Side Served: Union; State Served: Iowa; Unit Numbers: 210 210 Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 11 August 1862 at the age of 18; Enlisted in Company F, 35th Infantry Regiment Iowa on 04 September 1862; Mustered out Company F, 35th Infantry Regiment Iowa on 30 June 1865 in St Louis, MO." I do find Nathan Barlow in St. Louis, MO in the 1870 census as a single man age 23 as a grocer doing very well with both personal and real estate each worth $10,000. He states his birthplace as Iowa in that census. He is still appears to be in St. Louis in the 1880 census. There are two entries curiously similar. In one he is age 31 from Ohio, married to a french woman name Claudette and with two small children. He gives his birthplace and those of both parents as Ohio which would make one discount this Nathan except he names a son Van Buran which appears to coincidental. In the second entry in the same town, he is married to a french woman Jennette with one small son Nathan age 1. He gives his age as 33, profession as real estate agent, and birthplace as Iowa. In both censuses, 1870 and 1880, he does not have his mother with him. Another 1860 alternative: Nathan Barlow, age 22, born in Illinois in the 1870 US census living with a Phillip Karns household in Illinois, Warren, Greenbuish, pg. 76, 9 Jun 1870. He was a farm laborer.

      4. Nothing easily comes up for the other children Hiram or Ellen or Almina (Olive Elvira). Will take more effort. All four children appear to have had temple work done. Children listed are Mary Ellen, Olive Elmina, Hyrum, and Nathan Van Buren. Work appears to have been done in 1990, but no spouses are listed. In the 1860 census: Olive Elvira Barlow, daughter of Jonathan Watson and Lucinda Barlow - an Olive Elvira Barlow, age 18, female, born in Iowa was found (living by herself - girl of Ill. farmer) in Illinois, Rock Island, 1-WD Rock Island, pg. 408, 29 Jun 1860. She was found a page further beyond from Lucinda's listing (page 407). Her data fits that of the 1850 census.

      5. Ora Barlow, "The Israel Barlow Story and Mormon Mores":
      pp. 304-306 quotes from a letter written 12 Sep 1853 by Israel while in Rock Island, IL at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucinda Beebe Barlow, the widow of Israel's brother Jonathan Watson Barlow who had moved to that city in the 1840's and had died there 20 Jul 1851. Israel was traveling through on his way to his mission to England. Spelling uncorrected: "...befoure I left Kainesvill for good I found where Truman and Mother wure Settled, I traveled Some thirty milds East on to the Nishnebonana River then up the River Some thirty od milds found My Br Truman and my Mother in the wild wilderness 3 or four milds to the nearest neighbor I inquired in an od Tone of voice if I could Stay there Over the Nite The response was yes The nexte word that I spoke Truman Says with a raised a Tone of voice Israel is it you I could but reply in the affermative truly it is he Soon clasped my hand and flung his armes a round my Neck and exclaimed O my Dear Brother I never expected to See you a gain are you and your family well Mother Says she lyes at the point of Death I am glad that you have Come I stayed that Nite and the next day and the day and nite following tho mother was very Sick She appeared to be better the folloing day and I thought probaly that She mite get along again from hur appearance.

      pp. 310-313 of same letter quotes: "...the Evening I past Montrose I took a Letter out of the office from Br Truman it informe me of Mothers Death on the 18 of aug the Morning that I left Calvin Bushes 30 milds from Trumans place but Did not no it at the time I very mutch regreted that it So hapened if Mother has heur age Correct She is 72 years old She is the 5 out of the Circle of My Farthers Family My Eldest Brother Nathaniel My farther Jonathan Barlow, my Sister Annis Gennet george Stones wife, Jonatha W.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Traditionally the marriage is believed to be Feb 1839 but the 1840 census does not support that.

      DEATH:
      1. Surmised from date of letter cited above.
