Barrow received a pension for service in the Texas army from May
10 to August 10, 1836. He is also listed as a second lieutenant
in a Liberty militia company organized during the Republic of
Texas period. He established a cattle ranch on Turtle Bayou five
miles northeast of Anahuac and became one of the county's
largest ranchers and wealthiest men. He was a substantial
slaveholder and raised cattle, blooded horses, swine, and sheep
on his ranch. His upside-down-wineglass brand was a familiar
sight on the prairies of Southeast Texas.
A number of legends revolve around Barrow's bear-hunting
exploits. On one occasion when his dogs surrounded a bear in a
briar patch, he is said to have climbed into the briars and
killed the bear with a knife in order to save his hounds. Family
members recall that he also kept pet bears around his house.
Barrow was elected justice of the peace in 1843 and county
commissioner in 1854. In April 1868, during Reconstruction,qv he
was appointed district clerk, a position he held for a year. He
died during a smallpox epidemic on February 7, 1877. Mrs. Barrow
died of the same disease three days later.
