Henry Barrow

Henry Barrow, son of Thomas Barrow and Elizabeth (…), was born about 1688, being age 27 in the census of 1715.¹ He was later baptized at age 6 at St. Philip's Parish, Barbados, 2 December 1694, as son of Elizabeth (…) Barrow, along with an unnamed sister; the father is not named.² He died at St. George's Parish, Barbados, in 1764, when his will was proved.³

Henry married Eliza Presley, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), at St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, 25 March 1708.⁴

In 1715, his family was recorded at an unknown place as:
     Henry, age 27
     wife Elizabeth, age 24
     William, age 7,
     Henry age 6,
     Rebecca age 5.⁵

Henry left a will dated in 1743, and proved in 1764. In it he named wife Elizabeth, sons William, Henry, John, and James, and nieces of his wife: Eliza and Anne Clarke. Rebecca was not named so had probably died before 1743. Bequests included:
     a negro woman, Jenny, to his wife,
     his property and two negro men, Robin and Philbol, to son William,
     £25 each to sons Henry, John, and James,
