On my husband's side, I know as far back as his great-grandfather. I have Nicholas Barrows (b. 1977) who is my husband. His father is Lawrence John Barrows (b. 1940s). His father was John Luke Barrows (b. 1914) from Niagara Falls, NY. He had brothers Raplh, Leland and sisters Doris, Mary and Clair. Their father was James Edward Barrows (b. 1884). His wife was named Orpha, but I do not have a maiden name for her. I also do not know James Edward's father's name. I keep running into the more famous Sartwelle-Barrows branch (not sure if they are related, but it is quite possible) also from Niagara Falls in the 1800's, but that is not our line, at least as far back as I can tell. I am looking for information on James Edward Barrows who was married to an Orpha and they lived in the Upstate NY area, though James Edward was working on bridges to Canada and drops off the US census occasionally because he technically lives in Canada at the time. Frustrating! :)
