Notes |
- Bernard's relationship is inferred from census data. In 1820 he is found in Ripley, Chautauqua County, New York, USA. The only other Furlow family in the entire count is that of Bernard's suggested father, Jacob Furlow. In 1810 Jacob is shown in Onondaga County with an older son, unaccounted for by later family records and matching Bernard's age. From these records it is suggested that Jacob Furlow had a son by a first marriage (previous to his marriage to Mehitable) and that that son was the Bernard Furlow found in Ripley in 1820. Bernard is not found in the 1830 census or any later ones.
In 1820 Bernard is shown with his wife and 4 children under 10: 3m-10, 1m26-44, 1f-10, 1f26-44. None of their names are known for certain, but Bernard's cousin, Joseph is found in 1850 with a 50 year old Minerva Furlow who is unaccounted for. It is suggested that she could easily be Bernard's widow.
