Barrows TX>AZ .....HELP !
I have been researching JOHN WARREN BARROWS b. 1833/34/35 U S . The only thing I can definitely find on this man is his death in Dec. 1889 in Tombstone , Arizona .He signed the " Great Register of Arizona in Sept. 1888 and was listed as a miner .
In about 1875 he married Elizabeth or Mary A. COOPER possibly in Kimble Co. , Texas . The Cooper family was definitely in Kimble Co. on 1880 census , minus the BARROWS family .
According to his children the trail seems to go this direction :
John Warren Barrows Jr. 1876 Juntion , Kimble Co.,Tx.
Robert Lee Barrows b. 1878 ditto
Minnie Belle Barrows b. Jan. 1880 Coleman Co., Tx.
Arthur David Barrows b. 1881 Cochise Co., AZ.
Mary Frances Barrows b. 1883 Ditto
Anciebell ( May ) Barrows . 1885 Ditto
James Edward Barrows b. 1886 Ditto .
John Warren BARROWS Sr. may have been married before he married Elizabeth /Mary COOPER , but we know of no children . It would be most likely his mother's maiden name is WARREN .
John Warren Barrows wife is the daughter or daughters of James COOPER b. Abt. 1820/24 MS. and Delpha ANDERSON b. 1824 . Their children consist of both an Elizabeth b. 1847 and a Mary A. b. 1853 .
The COOPER family is from Jones Co. , MS. I have found BARROWS were in MS. at same time , but cannot seem to get enough information to connect . I lost this family in 1870 .
The interesting part is that the 5 surviving children all give their father's name as John Warren Barrows , but the mother's name varies between them except they all agree on COOPER . Mary Anciebell ( by 1 child ) , Mary Frances (by 1 child ), Elizabeth ( by the 2 oldest children )and Anciebell by youngest child .
Other children of James & Delpha COOPER are : John M. , Nathan , Norvel (killed in CW ) , Alley M.( COOPER ) WALL , and Isaac B. COOPER .
I have only been able to trace Alley M. Cooper WALL and Isaac B. Cooper .
John Warren BARROWS has been a mystery for many years. Anybody can help , please e-mail me .
