Facts and Events
possibly enslaved by David Crenshaw Barrow, Sr. https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:David_Barrow_%286%29
How might we find Lemuel and Matilda on the 1850 and 1860 slave censuses?
Possibly on 1850: Lemuel (m 21 or 25), Matilda (f 10 or 20), and Ennis (f #/12). The 1870 and 1880 censuses list this family as mulatto, so, possibly they are listed as mulatto (not black) in the 1850 slave census.
Possibly on 1860: Lemuel (m 31 or 31), Matilda (f 20 or 30), Ennis (f 10), Mariah (f 9), Willis (m 8), Joseph (m 7), Walter (m 4), and Dug (m #/12). The 1870 and 1880 censuses list this family as mulatto, so, possibly they are listed as mulatto (not black) in the 1860 slave census.
Their other children were born after January 1, 1863 (Emancipation Proclamation).
Might we find them listed in David Crenshaw Barrow, Sr.'s will? No. He died after slavery ended. We DO find David Crenshaw Barrow, Sr.'s will in this database: Georgia, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1742-1992 on Ancestry.com.
How about his father's will? Unfortunately we do not find a will for James Barrow in this database: Georgia, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1742-1992 on Ancestry.com.

Do these Barrow Plantation maps show this family? Some names on this map are Lem Douglas, Lem Bryant, Willis Bryant, Joe Bug, Tom Thomas, and Syll's Fork. Is it co-incidence that some members of Lemuel Barrow's family have the names Lemuel, Willis, Joseph, Dug/Duglass, and Silla/Sylvia?
