Early Life
John Barlow was the son of

Career
Burke's Extinct Baronetcies has this to say about
John Barlow:
This gentleman m. Christian, daughter of Edward Barley, esq. of Barley, and had four sons and a daughter, who were thrown upon the world almost destitute, owing to the political misfortunes of their father. In the time of Henry VII Mr Barlow was committed close prisoner to the Tower, for harbouring at Barlow his brother-in-law Barley, and Sir Robert Clifford, who had married his wife's sister, the night before their departure for the court of Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy, and his whole estate being wrested from him was conferred upon Vere, Earl of Oxford, then recently created lord high chamberlain of England, while he himself was detained in prison until he fully and legally ratified the transfer, getting free at last, but with difficulty, from the penalties of high treason.
Sir Robert Clifford was the second husband of Elizabeth Barlee, Christian's sister.
Family Life
John married
Christian Barlee, the daughter of
Henry Barlee of Albury and Laier Breton and had:

- William, who married Agatha Wellesborne with issue

Footnotes
[1] There is some confusion as to whether it was John or Thomas who served Anne Boleyn. Burke's
Exctinct Baronetcies says Thomas, Barlow's
Brief Summe of Geographie says it was John.
