Arthur Barlow born abt 1708 in Wales. Moved to Ireland before 1751
« on: Monday 13 May 13 23:20 BST (UK) »
Arthur Barlow was born about 1708 in Wales, most likely of the Lawrenny Barlow line. His parents might be John Barlow (1675-1718) and Anne Owen (1683-1732) but not proven. John Barlow born about 1675 in Lawrenny, Pembrokeshire, died 30 JAN 1718 in London, London, England, after several children, the youngest being John Barlow born about the time of his death.
   No record has been found thus far about Arthur in England but it is believed he married and had a son and when his wife died he left for Ireland before 1751 with his son. Or he may have moved to Ireland and married Ann there and had numerous children. In 1785 there was an entry found in the City of Dublin Library: Arthur Barlow, Smith, MICH, 1784 Easter, G.E. Granted Christmas 1785 establishing "Arthur" as Freeman. One of his sons was Councillor Arthur Barlow born 1735. Seeking prove of parents of Arthur born 1708.

Don’t know if the following helps or is of interest ;
From my database of Burgess of Pembroke Borough 1678 to 2013
John Barlow Esqr of Lawrenny registered yearly 1704, 1705, 1708, 1709, 1711, 1713
(Line drawn through his entry for 1713 which normally indicates Mort, but sometimes references that the person has moved out of the borough)
Hugh Barlow Esqr registered yearly 1727, 1734, 1736, 1737,
Hugh Barlow Esqr and Mayor in 1737
Hugh Barlow Alderman in 1740
Hugh Barlow Alderman is MORT in 1761.
Lewis Barlow Esqr registered yearly 1727, 1734, 1736,
John Barlow Esqr registered yearly 1734, 1736,
Thomas Barlow Gent registered yearly 1736, 1737, 1740, 1750
(Line drawn through name in 1750, prob Mort)
Relevant wills of the above proven E.C.C. of St Davids available NLoW.

In 1715 John Barlow of Lawrenny was appointed Mayor, since he considered that the Town of Pembroke was Quote “with  a great distemper of ye Small Pox at present very violent in the said Town” (i.e. Pembroke) he flatly refused to leave Lawrenny to take up the appointed position. Full transcript comes from my research into early Borough records and is as follows ;

At a Common Councill held the 10th day of October 1715 at the Guildhall of the Town of Pembroke present the psons underwritten.
Whereas John Barlow of Lawrenny Esqr who was one of the three psons menconed at the last Quarter Court on ye Nominacon to serve the said Town as Mayor and other offices granted by Charter for ye ensuing yeare was accordingly elected by the Councill and Burgesses at ye said Court and whereas the said John Barlow having been made acquainted therewith has signified his being willing to serve the said office but that there is a distemper of ye Small Pox at present very violent in the said Town the dangers of which he is not willing to mean but will readily serve on another oppertunity ordered that Richard Evans Gent be added unto the said nominacon instead of the said John Barlow Esqr who is by the Councill presence throught a fitt pson to serve the said office of Mayor and that he be exhibited to the Burgesses for their approbacon.

Thank you very much for your information. I feel certain that the John Barlow you mentioned above was the John who married Anne Owen and they begat Lewis (1702-1737), Anne, (1706-), Arthur (1708-) Thomas (1710-) Elizabeth (1712-), Dorothy (1714-), Katherine (1716-1780) and John (1718-). My daughter Wendy and I spent three incredible days at the records office I believe it was Lawrenny and found so much information. The people there were so helpful. We still left with a lot of unanswered questions unfortunately. I hope someday to find more information about the Arthur born to John and Anne in 1708. Thank you again, Bill
