County of Christian, Kentucky.  Historical and Biographical.  Edited by

REV. JAMES F. BARROW was born in Logan County, Ky., on the 19th of 
August, 1839, and is the ninth of a family of eleven children, born to 
Charles M. and Prudence F. Barrow.  He grew to manhood and was educated 
in his native county, and when about twenty-two years old became 
connected with the Baptist Church.  He was ordained to the ministry in 
June, 1864, since which time he has been constantly and faithfully 
engaged in the service of the Master.  He possesses many rare traits, 
which characterize him as an able and efficient minister. He is concise 
and pointed in his delineations, forcible as a pulpit orator, and in 
ordinary conversation impresses all with whom he comes in contact, that 
he is not only a genial gentleman, but that he possesses a cultivated 
mind.  The fidelity of Mr. Barrow to this church is better understood 
when it is remembered that on two occasions he has been by convention 
placed in nomination to represent the county in the General Assembly, 
but has each time declined that honor to devote himself to his church.  
His father, who was born about 1800, in Casey County, Ky., removed in 
early manhhood to Logan County, where he married Miss Prudence F., 
daughter of Lewis and Dorcas Dunn, who emigrated to Logan County from 
North Carolina, where their daughter, Mrs. Barrow, was born in February, 
1805.  She is still a resident of Logan County; her husband, Charles M., 
died there in January, 1873.  James F. Barrow, the subject of this 
sketch, was married in Christian County, Ky., on October 7, 1867, to 
Miss Mary E., daughter of James and Minerva Robinson.  She was born 
August 20, 1840.  They have two daughters, viz.: Lelia Barrow, born 
February 15, 1872, and Bertha Barrow, born February 14, 1874.  In 
addition to pastoral work, Rev. James F. Barrow has labored successfully 
as missionary of Clear Fork and Bethel associations.
