January 3, 1836 - September 17, 1920
Capt. J. C. Barlow, dealer in hardware, stoves, etc., of Helena, Arkansas, was born in Scott County, Kentucky, January 3, 1836, and is a son of Thomas J. and Mildred 'Cantrell' Barlow, natives of Scott and Bourbon Counties, Kentucky, respectively.
The paternal grandfather was born in Old Virginia and the grandmother in North Carolina, but at an early period they moved to the wilds of Kentucky, making their way thither on horseback, the grandmother carrying a large cane which she pretended was a gun, and used in frightening away the Indians. [p.750] She was reared on the farm once owned by Daniel Boone in the "Old North State." The grandparents on both sides died in Kentucky, and were armers by occupation. Thomas J. Barlow was also a farmer, and after living a useful and well-spent life, quietly breathed his last in Ballard County, Kentucky, in 1873, his wife's death occurring in Scott County, Kentucky, she having borne him six children, three of whom are now living: Frances A. (wife of John W. Allison, of Bourbon County, Ky.), Joseph C. and James M. Edward was in the Confederate army and died at Montgomery, Alabama. Thomas died in Kentucky and William also died there when quite young. Mr. Barlow was married twice and by his last wife had a family of three children, Clifton J. being the only one alive.
J. C. Barlow was reared and favored with the advantages of the common schools in Scott County, Kentucky, but in 1859 came to Helena, Arkansas, and became a salesman in a dry-goods establishment, this work receiving his attention until the opening of the war, when he enlisted in the Phillips County Guards, and subsequently got a transfer to the Yell Rifles, with which he served until the fall of 1861, when he joined the Second Arkansas Battery, remaining with them until the close of the war. After serving for some time as first lieutenant of artillery he was appointed to the rank of captain by the secretary of war, and was a participant in all the engagements of his regiment. After the war he clerked in Memphis, Tennessee, for about one year, then returned to Helena and has since been conducting a hardware establishment, this enterprise meeting with good success under his able management. He has the largest stock of goods in the town, and receives a most liberal share of public favor. He filled a unexpired term as mayor of Helena, is president of the Phillips County Fair Association, and since August 22, 1882, has held the position of colonel of the Arkansas State Guards, receiving his appointment from Gov. F. J. Churchill during the political troubles of that year.
He was married in 1869 to Miss Mary J. Porter, a native of Helena, and in 1876 took for his second wife Mrs. Mary Grant, by whom he has three children: Fannie A., Harrell E. and Joseph C., Jr.
Captain and Mrs. Barlow are members of the Episcopal Church.

Milton BARLOW1 was born on 6 Feb 1818 in Flemingsburg, Fleming Co., KY. Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 4th ed., 1887, Madison Co.
MILTON BARLOW was born at Flemingsburg, Fleming Co., Ky., February 6, 1818. The family to which he belongs is of French origin, having left France with the Huguenots, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and settled first in England, coming thence to America at an early period. His grandfather, William Henry Harris Barlow, resided at Lynchburg, Va., and immigrated to Kentucky from that State with the earliest settlers. He located near Millersburg, in Nicholas County, where he took up a large tract of land, and erected a block-house. He was surrounded by hostile savages, and his his primitive dwelling was often used as a citadel of defense against their attacks. He married Elizabeth Kimbrough, daughter of another early settler in that locality, and had a family of seven children, of whom the sons were Samuel, William, James, Thomas H., John and Harrison. Betsey became the wife of Lawson Bell, and Sarah of his brother, Hosea Bell. Thomas H. Barlow was the father of Milton, and was born in the year 1787. He was reared upon his father's farm, and in early life enlisted in Johnson's regiment during the war of 1812-15, being present at the battle of the Thames. He subsequently engaged in farming; and being possessed of great mechanical ingenuity and skill turned his attention to the building of steam mills, and at Augusta, Ky., built a steamboat. He erected a steam mill at Cynthiana, Ky., and later established a foundry and machine shop at Lexington, where he chiefly manufactured saw-mill machinery and steam engines. He made the machinery for the Red River furnace, and in May, 1826, exhibited at Lexington a small locomotive which he had designed and made from his own model, without having seen one. About the year 1838 he built a steam mill in Lincoln County, which he operated for a time in conjunction with his son Milton, and later returned to Lexington, where he engaged successfully in the preparation of hemp for naval rope-making purposes-his son being also associated in this enterprise. Soon after he began work upon an instrument, afterward called a planetarium, which was an ingenious mechanical device, designed to illustrate, in a practical way, the motions of the heavenly bodies, and showing the relation which they sustained to each other at different seasons of the year, as well as to the sun and moon. After three years of study and experiment, assisted by Mr. Van Dalsem, Prof. Dodd, president of the university, and his son, to whom its mechanical construction and perfection was assigned, the instrument was completed, and pronounced a wonderful invention by those public educators of the country to whom it was shown. It was adopted by the United States Congress for West Point and Annapolis Academies, for which a complimentary prize of $4,000 was paid. New Orleans, Mississippi University, St. Louis and Washington Lee Universities and many other leading institutions of learning of this country were supplied with fine planetariums prior to the late war, which suspended the manufactory. In 1843 father and son conceived the idea of building a rifle-cannon, and after careful experiments completed it, and procured a patent on it in January, 1855. On August 30, 1856, an appropriation of $3,000 was made by Congress to furnish a gun to the Government which was tested, accepted, and the patent adopted for general use. Thomas H. Barlow died in Cincinnati near the close of the late civil war. He was pre-eminently a man of genius and great usefulness, and left the impress of his intellectual strength upon the men and institutions of his time. His wife was Keziah West, and his children, Milton, Samuel and Elizabeth. Milton Barlow at the age of twelve years was set to work in his father's shop. When about fourteen years of age he manufactured a low pressure steam engine with glass air pump and condenser for Rev. Benjamin O. Pears, who was the head of an excellent private school in Lexington, and by way of payment received $150 and three sessions of schooling. Upon the breaking out of the war between Texas and Mexico he enlisted under Gen. Gaines in Capt. Carter's company at Lexington, Ky. (for Fort Sabine), the expedition for the protection of our southwestern frontier; and upon the disbandment of his regiment returned home by way of New Orleans as a river engineer. He subsequently worked in the machine shop of Bridgeford & Hanson at Louisville, then engaged in milling in Lincoln County with his father, and finally manufactured silver-ware in Lexington for several years. He was the operative constructor of the planetarium, to which reference has been made, and prior to the opening of the war engaged in its manufacture at Lexington, disposing of readily of eighty-two of them in the United States. He exhibited it at the great Crystal Palace exhibition in New York in 1855. The breaking out of the civil war sadly disarranged all of his plans. Being opposed to both secession and coercion it was his intention to remain neutral, but having been placed under arrest by the Federal authorities in Lexington, and subjected to indignities, he espoused the cause of the South, and served in the Confederate Army, first under Gen. Abe Beauford, and later as captain of ordnance under Morgan. After the close of the war he resumed his residence in Kentucky. The planetarium was selected by the Kentucky Legislature as Kentucky's most suitable contribution to the International Exhibition at Paris, France, in 1867, contributing $1,500 to defray expenses, etc. During the exposition Mr.
Barlow visited France, patented the planetarium and caused a manufactury to be established in Paris. At the close of the exhibition the planetarium was awarded the highest premium given to any illustrative apparatus. Thus Kentucky has furnished the world with the best illustrative astronomical apparatus. Returning to the United States Mr. Barlow located at Richmond, Ky., where he built a residence and a large flouring-mill, which he is now successfully operating. He inherited his father's inventive genius, and has always been engaged in the conception or manufacture of some mechanical contrivance. He recently petitioned Congress to allow him to make a large gun for the Government coast-defense, to demonstrate the advantages of a new improvement he has designed, and which he thinks will prove efficacious against any ship that can be sent against us. Mr. Barlow was married on May 20, 1845, to Anastasia C., daughter of Lewis A. Thompson, of
Lexington, Ky., and has had nine children, of whom seven are living, viz.: Margaret, Virginia, Carrie, Milton V., Richard A., Robert E. Leo and Florence Barlow. Parents: Thomas H. BARLOW and Keziah WEST.

August 5, 1789 - February 22, 1865
Thomas Harris Barlow, inventor, was born in Nicholas County, Kentucky, August 5, 1789. He
was of limited education. He built a steamboat at Augusta, Tennessee, about 1820, and in 1827 constructed a miniature steam locomotive, with car attached, to carry two passengers and with
power to ascend a grade of eighty feet to the mile. He operated it in a room on an oval track,
the first Western railway train in America. In 1835 he constructed a large locomotive with two
upright cylinders and lever beams, both engines attached to one axle with crooks at right
angles, and upright boilers. This he expected to run from Lexington to Frankfort, but owing to
the peculiar construction of the rails, it was abandoned.
In 1845, while teaching his grandchildren the motion of the heavenly bodies, he conceived the
idea of a small planetarium. After three years of patient labor the instrument was finished, and
sold to Girard College, Philadelphia. Others were soon constructed, and one was exhibited at
the World's Fair in New York, in 1851, and sold for two thousand dollars. West Point Military Academy bought one of larger size, as did Annapolis Naval Academy, and one was sent to New Orleans. It is one of the most exact and remarkable machines ever invented, showing the motions of the solar system, the dates of the eclipses, and of the transit of Mercury and Venus. In 1855 he obtained a patent for a rifled cannon, which, being tested at the Washington Navy Yard, developed remarkable accuracy and range. Previous to this, he invented an automatic nail and tack machine.
He died in Cincinnati, Ohio, February 22, 1865.

[Scott County] [Georgetown City and Precinct]
DR. WILLIAM H. BARLOW; Georgetown; was born in Scott County, Ky., Sept. 13, 1809. He is of Virginia parentage. His father, Thomas H. Barlow, was a substantial farmer. Susannah (Isbel) Barlow was his mother. His father was a particular Baptist; his death occurred in 1825. The subject of his sketch was educated in the Rittenhouse Academy, which afterward became the Georgetown College. He began the study of medicine at the age of sixteen, with Dr. Alexander C. Keene, of Georgetown, continuing three years. In 1827 he began the practice of his profession in Georgetown, where he has since practiced, in all forty-five years. During the years 1820-30 he was located at Florence, Ky., and from 1832 to 1836 was in Williamstown, Ky. Dr. Barlow is a vegetarian, not having tasted a particle of animal food for thirty-seven years, to which fact he attributes his good health, never having had a headache in his life, and having been confined by five day in his life-time. He has practiced fifty-four years in regular practice, being busy night and day. He never refused to go on account of poverty of both black and white, and to the poor gave his medicine. He has been in attendance at four thousand births. In 1881 he retired, feeling that he had done enough actual labor for one life-time. Dr. Henry Craig was a fellow student of his at college, and in the office Dr. Keene; he was his contemporary in practice. Dr. Barlow has made a study of literature, being familiar with French; he has a large collection of medical works in that language. He has collected a large library of several hundred standard works, with which he is perfectly familiar. In 1827 he married Miss Louisa Allgaier, of Cincinnati, Ohio. They raised nine children, three of whom are still living, viz: Feresa V., wife of Frank A. Lyon, of Lexington, Capt. E. C. Barlow, of Ouida, now Mrs. Harry S. Orr, of Georgetown. Dr. Barlow's father brought the first race horse to the county; it was Lamplighter. He kept a stallion and bred blooded horses, but was never on the turf.
