BARROW

[BARW621] Richard Barrow m. [JCKS622] Susannah Jackson
. [BARW632] Margaret Barrow m. [BOTH631] John Booth

It may be significant that two Cartmel boys, Christopher (son of Christopher Barrow) and James (son of Michael Barrow), attended Sedbergh School until 1664 and 1693, respectively. The first four generations described below are dependant on [BARW621] Richard being the son of John Barrow of Allithwaite, which is by no means certain.

12. [BARW581] Edward Barrow. There was an admittance in the Court of Cartmel (10th March 1617-18), that John Barrow was son & heir of Edward, deceased.

11. [BARW591] John Barrow, of Allithwaite IGI, married (at Cartmel, 4th May 1602 IGI) Jane Kellett. They had at least one child baptised at Cartmel as follows:

10. [BARW601] Edward (born at Allithwaite, baptised 10th May 1610 IGI), married Margaret Roskel, see later.

10. [BARW601] Edward Barrow (born 1610), of Allithwaite, married (at Cartmel, 19th November 1635) Margaret Roskell, of Birkeby, (baptised at Cartmel, 22nd April 1613 IGI, daughter of John Roskell, yeoman at Birkby). Edward had at least one child baptised at Cartmel as follows:

9. [BARW611] John (born at Allithwaite, baptised 9th June 1642), married Jennet Barrow, see later.

There was an Edward Barrow who married (at Cartmel, 15th August 1641) Mary Flecher, both of Grange, who may have been the same person, this therefore being his second marriage.

9. [BARW611] John Barrow (born 1642), of Allithwaite, married (at Cartmel, 28th January 1665-66) Jennet Barrow (possibly baptised at Cartmel, 30th September 1632 IGI, daughter of Thomas Barrow). They had one child baptised at Cartmel as follows:

8. [BARW621] Richard (born at Walton (Hall houses], baptised 1st November 1674), married Susannah Jackson, see later.

Jennet (wife of John), died at Allithwaite (buried at Cartmel, 4th November 1674). John Barrow died at Allithwaite also (buried at Cartmel 17th July 1678). This suggests their son Richard must have been fostered, presumably with another Barrow family.

8. [BARW621] Richard Barrow ([born 1674] of Cartmel, Lancashire) married (at Burton-in-Kendal, Westmorland, 20th June 1704) [JCKS622] Susannah Jackson (of Preston Patrick, Westmorland, see JACKSON).

Richard and Susannah had seven children born at either Halfpenny or Knotts and all baptised at Heversham as follows:

James (born at Half Penny Pasture [in Stainton], baptised 1st October 1705), died at Knotts in Stainton, buried at Heversham (27th March 1721);
William (born at Half Penny Pasture, baptised 19th November 1707). William Barrow (husbandman of Killington) married (at Killington, 31st August 1735, by licence dated 30th August 1735) Elizabeth Stilling (of Old Hutton);
7. [BARW632] Margaret (born at Knotts, baptised 10th May 1710), married John Booth, see later;
John (born at Knotts, baptised 1st August 1713), married (at Dent, 26th December 1746) Isabel Hodgson;
Agnes (born at Knotts, baptised 6th May 1716). Agnes Barrow (of Stainton, age 25) married (at Heversham, 21st October 1739, by licence dated 11th October 1739) William Carter (blacksmith of Middleton);
Susannah (born at Knotts, baptised 31st March 1719). Susan Barrow (of Stainton, age 21) married (at Heversham, 14th February 1741-42, by licence dated 6th February 1741-42) John Nelson (husbandman of Stainton);
Richard (born at Knotts, baptised 7th July 1723), married (at Kirkby Lonsdale, 3rd February 1742-43) Hannah Baylie.

It will be observed that four of Richard's children (William, Margaret, Agnes and Susannah) were married by licence.

Halfpenny and Knotts were small hamlets in Heversham parish, near to Birkrigg Park and Low Park which were small hamlets across the parish boundary in Burton-in-Kendal. Richard's Will refers to his two good friends and neighbours, Quakers, Richard Sill (1691-1758) from Birkrigg Park and George Crosfield (1706-84) from Low Park (though previously of Birkrigg Park).

Richard, who was a yeoman, died at Knotts, and was buried at Heversham (19th April 1741), three days after making his bed-side will (see WILL). One of the witnesses to his Will was his prospective son-in-law, John Nelson, whose bride-to-be thus figured in the bequests. Summarised, his monetary bequests were as follows:

One-off payments to be made one year after Richard’s decease to:

His widow Susannah (fifteen pounds);

son John (fifty pounds);

son Richard (fifty pounds);

daughter Margaret (ten pounds);

daughter Agnes, now wife of William Carter, (ten pounds);

daughter Susannah (thirty pounds).

This alone totals 165 pounds

The two executors (widow Susannah and son John) each to be paid ten pounds for their services.

There were various minor bequests, in particular a clock and its case were eventually to go to his son John after the decease of Richard's widow, Susannah.

An inventory was taken of his assets (on 22nd April 1741) by his eldest son William, and the two good Quaker friends of the deceased (Richard Sill and George Crosfield), and also Thomas Fenton, the scribe who wrote out the will and inventory.

Richard Sill (1691-1758) was from Birkrigg Park and George Crosfield (1706-84) from Low Park (though previously of Birkrigg Park).

Richard's assets apparently excluded his minor bequests (e.g. the clock and case), and the total value was just under 22 pounds. Assuming there was money available to pay his monetary bequests (albeit the bulk of this was not to be paid for a further twelve months) it is not clear where this was to be found. So perhaps the total value of his monetary bequests had also been excluded from his assets. See INVENTORY.

Susannah died at Middleton (where her married daughters Agnes and Margaret lived), but was buried at Heversham (4th July 1746).

7. [BARW632] Margaret Barrow (born 1710, daughter of Richard) married (at Lancaster, 30th September 1735, by licence dated 29th September 1735) [BOTH631] John Booth (born 1695, see BOOTH).
