David Barrow was born October 30, 1753, the son of William Barrow and Amy Lee Barrow. He married Sarah Gillam on April 6, 1773, in Elizabeth City, Southampton County, Virginia. Sarah Gilliam was born on March 9, 1755, in Albemarle Parish, Surry County, Virginia, and she died July 26, 1829, in Montgomery County, Kentucky. David and Sarah had twelve children:
1) Nathan
2) Elizabeth
3) David
4) Jenosha
5) Jonathan
6) Sarah
7) Mary
8) Abraham
9) William
10) Hinchea
11) Amey Lee
12) David Gilliam
All of the children were born in Elizabeth City, Southampton County, Virginia between 1774 and 1796.
(Note: there were two sons named "David". The first son died 19 November 1783, at about 5 years of age. His sister, Jenosha died on the same date--at four years of age.) David and Sarah probably used the name "David" for a second son, to honor the father's name.
David Barrow was born in Virginia, Brunswick county, October the 3Oth, 1753; baptized in the seventeenth year of his age, and in the eighteenth began preaching; in 1774 he settled in Southampton, and was odained the same year, by elders John Meglan___ and Zacharias Thompson. Mr. Barrow took the oversight of Mill-swamp church, in Isle-of-Wight, June the l8th, 1774, and supplied Blackcreek and South.quay churches until he moved to Kentucky, which happened in the year l798. In the counties of' Surry nnd Nancemond, Mr. Barrow suffered much persecution, from the established party. Mr. Barrow moved to Montgomery [County] in Kentucky, June 24, 1798, generally known as an emancipator. In 1805, several Baptist ministers, churches and associations, persecuted him, for insisting on the iniquity of unmerited, involuntary, perpetual, absolute, hereditary slavery. In October 1806, the North District association publicly expelled him from his seat in that association, for preaching the doctrine of emancipation. At their next association, which was in October, 1807, they proceeded to ammend and revoke the act of last association, in expelling elder David Barrow, from his seat in association. However, in the mean time, viz. August 29, 1807, he joined the society known by the name of "Baptized Church of Christ, Friends of Humanity," and does not chose to go back and live with slave holders any longer.
Mr. Barrow's piety, virtue, ability and greatness of soul is excelleed by none, and equaled but by few. The church at Mount [S]terling, which Mr. Barrow has the oversight of, (or at least a majority of them) like himself, are opposed to oppression, of which some of them have made demonstrable proof. This church has a meeting-house, built slovenly of logs, where they meet for business and preaching.
