Dennis Barrow, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Dennis Barrow might describe his life as follows. |
 |
|
I was born about 1788 in Brunswick County, Virginia. My father was William Barrow whose plantation on Little Cedar Creek north of present-day Danieltown was next to one belonging to William Daniel. |
|
My first wife was Armon (Brown) Daniel, the widow of William’s son George Daniel. Armon brought four children to the marriage and we had several of our own. |
|
Armon died after 1820 and I took Nancy H. Moore as my second wife in 1825. We had four children including Julia Anna who married Luther Napoleon Manly. |
In 1860, at age 73, I was living with my daughter Mourning Biggs and her family.  I died probably soon after the Civil War. |

|
Rev. Peter Wynne united in marriage Dennis Barrow and Armon Daniel 2 Nov. 1808 with John Archer as surety. |
|
The 1810 census depicts Dennis with Armon’s 4 children, and several children of their own. The Census of 1820 enumerated Dennis and Armon, both aged 26-45, with 9 children: 3 boys and 4 girls under aged 10 and one boy and one girl, aged 10-16. |
|
When Dennis married Nancy H. Moore in Lunenburg County 27 Dec. 1825, Edward W. Parker was surety and Rev. John Wesley Doyle united them in marriage. |
|
The Census of 1850 showed Dennis, age 63, with 5 children in his household, Nancy evidently being dead. Thomas was 32, Elizabeth 22, Lucy 17, Julia 14, and Susan 11. Living with them was Mary Barrow who mayy have been a third wife. Since Dennis and Nancy married in 1825, it is likely some of their children left the house before this census. |
