BARSTOW. This family is of English origin, and from the West Riding of Yorkshire, where the name still occurs. Accord- ing to Whittaker's Ed. of Thoresby's Hist. of Leeds, " Edmond Barstow, Esq., J. P., for the North Riding of Yorkshire, was in

1816, possessed of Hingerskil, formerly the seat of the Hoptons, being the second husband of Ellinor Hopton, of the ancient and eminent family of Hopton of Hopton, by whom he had Edward, Thomas, Mary, Eleanor, and Henrietta. He was the son of Ed- ward, the son of Thos. Barstow, of N.Allerton, whose da. Elizabeth, m. Darcy Conyers, Esq. ; and his bro. Walter, was fa. of Mr. Jere- miah Barstow, of Leeds, who, by Alice, da. of Mr. John Douglass, of Anstrop Hall, had issue Jere., Esq., Mayor of Leeds, 1706, Mi- chael of Wakefield, and Wm. of Leeds. The oldest son, by Elizabeth, da. of Mr. Wm. Brook, of Killingbrook, had issue Jere., d. unm., Win., and Hannah."1 We find in London, at the present date, James, and Thos. I. Barstow, Esqr's., barristers, in the Temple, who were of Yorkshire. The fa. of the latter is also a lawyer, in Yorkshire. We have likewise heard of the Rev. Francis Barstow, of Scalesboro' Park, who d. ab. 1830 ; of Mr. Barstow, of Green Gate House, near Leeds ; and of Mr. Barstow, of Headingly, near Leeds, -- a man of property.2
Four brothers of this name came early to N. Eng., and settled at Cambridge, Watertown, and Dedham. These were George, Michael, John, and William. Of but two, George and William, have we been able to learn when and how they came. We find that, on the 20th Sept. 1635, William Barstow, ae. 23, and Geo., ae. 21, embarked for N. Eng., in the Truelove, John Gibbs, Master. The place from which they came is not given, but they were pro- bably of Yorkshire.
The following are the principal minutes which we have obtained of the history of these brothers.
1. George, one of the brothers, according to the Mids'x. Prob. Rec., m. Susan, da. Thos. Marrit ; had land granted him in Ded- ham, in 1642 ;3 was a member of the An. and Hon. Art. Co., in 1644;4 a householder in Scit. in 1652, and a member of the second Church ;5 and d. in Camb. 18d. 6m., 1652, his will being on file, and his estate being appraised at £85 14s. 6d.6 His wid.

Susan, d. at Camb. in 1654, and in the Invt. of her Est., allusion is made to a " steere and cow at Dedham, and two young heffers at Scituate," and Thos. Marrit is called her father, and was ap- pointed guardian to her two ch.1 This Invt. is signed by John Bridge and Michael Barstow. The names of the ch. were, 1., Margaret, bap. in Scit., Feb. 24, 1649-'50, and 2., George, bap. in Scit., June 12, 1652, his father being then decs'd. These ch. are alluded to in the will of Michael, of Watn., in 1674, and to each he left a legacy. Of their history we know nothing with certainty. We think it highly probable, however, that the Bars- tows of Rehoboth, descended from the son George. There we find that Saml., s. George and Mary, was b. May 1, 1705, and m. Mary Mason, Mar. 29, 1733 ; and this Geo., seems to have had a son Geo., b. at a previous date, prob. as early as 1690, before the fa. sett. in R. Geo., senr., d. Ap. 6, 1726, but his age is not given. Geo., jr., m. Martha Mason, Sep. 29, 1715, and d. May 11, 1733. His ch. were, 1. Martha, b. Ap. 16, 1716 ; 2. Jno., b. June 14, 1718, m. Susanna Carpenter, Mar. 15, 1743, and is prob. the one al- luded to in letter of Eben'r. B., of Scot'd. Ct., who, he says, was " killed in the famous battle at the heights of Abraham, in Que- bec, Canada, ( 1759, ) leaving 3 ch., one of whom was Wm. ( of Prov., m. Bethiah Bourn ? June 10., 1773, ) whose s. John ? now resides in Killingly, Ct., and his son John is in Scot'd., Ct., and was previously of Prov., R.I."; 3. Hannah, Ap. 2, 1721, d. young ; 4. Geo., Mar. 19, 1724, m. Abigail Mason ? Mar. 14, 1753 ; 5. Hannah, Feb. 7, 1726-7.
NOTE .- Another John, called John the 3d., m. Judith Carpenter, Feb. 18, 1756 ? and had, 1. Lucy, Mar. 26, 1757 ? d. young. 2. Danl., July 25, 1759. 3. Abel, Oct. 20, 1760. 4.

2. Min. Baryton brother of George, was made free- man of Mass. Mar. 3, 1635-6, and possessed in Wat., as per Rec., “ 1 .- a homestead of 14 acs. 2 .- 2 acs. of meadow at beere brook. 3 .- 2 acs. of meadow in Plain Meadow. 4 .- 7 acs. of Plowland, being the 10th lot in the further plain. 5 .- 7 acs. of meadow, being the 10th lot in the remote meadow. 6 .- 12 acs. of upland beyond the

further plain, being the 29th lot. 7 .- a Farm of 129 acs. of up- land, in the 5th division, and 8 .- 50 acs. of land, being a great dividend in the 4th div. and 9th lot." He was a man of note in the hist. of the town, his name often occurring on its records, and he being Selectman in 1652, Rep. in 1653, and often on the Jury of trials.1 From the disposition made of his property, we in- for that he left no family. He was prob. m., and his w. Grace, d. July 20, 1671,-3 years before his own decease. No ch. are named. His will is dated June 23, 1674, and in it, he gives legacies to Rev. Jno. Sherman, of Wat .; to the Church of Christ in Wat. ; and to (Dea. Thos. Hastings, and Dea. Henry Bright, } whom he names as his executors. The bulk of his property was disposed of as follows :- " To Hannah Barstow, alias Prince, one great bible, and the debt due to me in my booke, which her first husband, Wm. Barstow was indebted, &c. ; to/Elizabeth, w. of Wm. ) Randall, of Scit., £5; the same to Susan, w. of Wm. Perry, of Mfd. ; to Michael, son of John Barstow, deceased, a lot of upland, &c. in Wat. ; and to John and Jeremiah, ch. of the aforesaid John Barstow, decs'd., to ea. £15. The rest of the est., after paying debts, &c. to be divided into 10 shares, 2 of wh. parts or shares were given to the ch. of his bro. Geo. B. decs'd., and 8 to the ch. of his bro. Wm. decs'd." His est. was appraised at £273 18s. 3d. ?
