Burgoon? I've seen (on-line) a reference to Susannah's parents being John Barlow and Elizabeth "Kieth" (Keith?), no more info on
either.
I've also seen info on Peter's sons Jacob and Charles, suggesting they married sisters -- Elizabeth and Barbara Hampshire
respectively. Does this fit what you know?

Yes, Temperance and Susannah Barlow were sisters, daughters of John Barlow of Maryland. I think that if you search the BURGOON forum you may find more on the Barlows. Clicking this link will bring up those pages: http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?forum=burgoon&url=%2Fburgoon%2F&path=%2Fburgoon%2F&terms=barlow&boolean=ANDhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?forum=burgoon&url=%2Fburgoon%2F&path=%2Fburgoon%2F&terms=barlow&boolean=AND
As for the Hampshire sisters: these Burgoon boys were cousins: Jacob the son of Robert Burgoon and Charles the son of Peter.
There was a lot of marrying of sisters andbrothers into the same families in Colonial America (even cousins marrying cousins). These were very small communities
As for the Barlow girls' parents - I found this on the BARLOW forum:
"Susannah Barlow's parents were John Barlow, born abt. 1725 in
Maryland. He married an indian woman who was either from the
Tuscarorus or Powhatan tribe. Her name is not known, but she was
believed to have been born about 1729 in Maryland. Susannah Barlow
had 3 sisters, Barsheba, Prudence, and Temperance, who married Peter
Burgoon."
I;m not sure about the validity of that story, but there is a record of John Barlow (also Barloe) marrying Elizabeth KIETH on 12 Feb 1737 in Maryland and they are shown as the parents of Prudence and Temperance.
