  • What happened to Madge Barrows Hansen?
  • Is there any documentation that Bailey Barrows was Isaac Barrows' father?

A Tribute to Ruth Denning
Ruth, Roy Barrows' niece, was killed at age 16.

Wentworth Avenue, Chicago
Lizzie Spawr Barrows had boardinghouses at 6318-20-22 Wentworth Avenue at the beginning of the twentieth century. Lizzie's nephew, Roy, and his family lived there about 1920 and again about 1930. I have found a couple of photos that appear to be taken from in front of their house in 1907. Visit the Chicago Daily News page of the Library of Congress American Memory collection and search for "6319 Wentworth" to see one view and for "West 63rd" and "Wentworth" to see another.

History of the Englewood Neighborhood of Chicago
The Barrows family lived at various addresses on Wentworth (near 63rd and 67th) and Yale from about 1900 to the 1930s.

Lots and lots of fellow descendants of John Barrowe!

Our Mayflower Connection and Famous Relatives
Philip Delano, Jr. (above) was in the line of Philip Delano, Sr. > Jonathan Delano III > Jonathan Delano Jr. > Lt. Jonathan Delano > Phillippe de la Noye. Lt. Jonathan Delano married Mercy Warren, granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren. Internet search engines will find many sites with information on these ancestors.

Famous descendants of Phillipe de la Noye
Since Phillipe de la Noye is our ancestor on the Delano branch, his descendants, including
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ulysses S Grant, are distant cousins of ours. We are also related to Laura Ingalls Wilder through the Delanos, but the link I had for that relationship no longer works.
NOTE: I have removed my links to ancestral files at the LDS site because they don't work any more. However, you should be able to find ancestral files for Philip Delano and Rebecca Foote by going to the LDS site and searching for their names.

I tried searching for Carley Porter (Valentine Spawr's daughter Ruth's son) on Google again, and this time I came across a photo of him.
