Thought to be the son of Ralf Barrus Barrowe and Audrey Deye of Great Yarmouth, Hampshire, England. Husband of Ann Thompson, married 31 Aug 1634 in Yarmouth. Possibly the Jo. Barrows that sailed to the colonies in 1635 on the ship "Plain Joan," with John returning to England for Anne at some point between 1635 and May of 1637. Then, John and Anne sailed together to the colonies on the Mary Ann in 1637. John and Anne were the parents of a daughter, Dionys, who was born in Yarmouth but died probably as an infant. Their son was Robert Barrows, born in 1639, Anne died some time before 1667.

John then married a much younger woman, Deborah Doty, about 1667 and had Joshua, Deborah, Mary, Benajah and Ebenezer. On April 6, 1692, his will was proved before William Bradford, Deputy Governor, and Epheaim Morton, Assistant. The will had been signed, sealed and declared to be his last will and testament in the presence of John Gray and was signed with the mark of Robert Barrows and the Mark of John Barrows. The inventory of the estate, made by John Gray and John Sturtevant, included 14 lbs of cotton yarn, 2 cows, 3 swine, books and 17 shillings in silver money. The 30 acres of land at Monponset {Plympton} was valued at 5 lbs and the house and land at home and all the meadow at Carver belonging to it valued 25 lbs. In his will, he left his son Robert, all of his land, providing that Johns' wife Deborah be allowed use of the land as long as she remained his widow.

John Barrowe, son of Ralf and and Audrey Deye Borrowe, was born 9/16/1609 in Great Yarmouth, England. He married Anne Thompson, daughter of Anthony and Margaret Thompson of Great Yarmouth, England, on 8/31/1634. Anne was christened 9/24/1598. According to the Maine Historical and Geneology Recorder and according to Ship Passenger Lists and the Rolls Office in London, John Borrowe, aged 26, sailed for Virginia 5/15/1635 on the Plain Joan, R.

It is believed that John and Anne Barrowe sailed from London, England and according to the following record shows" the examination of John Borrowe of Yarmouth, a Cooper, aged 28 years and Anne, his wife, aged 40 years—desirous to pass to Salem in New England, there to inhabit".
