• What happened to Madge Barrows Hansen?
• Is there any documentation that Bailey Barrows was Isaac Barrows' father? All I know is they both lived in Oswego County, New York, in 1850 and Isaac's in-laws lived in the same town as Bailey (Palermo) while Isaac and his wife lived in New Haven.

Wentworth Avenue, Chicago
Lizzie Spawr Barrows had boardinghouses at 6318-20-22 Wentworth Avenue at the beginning of the twentieth century. Lizzie's nephew, Roy, and his family lived there about 1920 and again about 1930. I have found a couple of photos that appear to be taken from in front of their house in 1907. Visit the Chicago Daily News page of the Library of Congress American Memory collection and search for "6319 Wentworth" to see one view and for "West 63rd" and "Wentworth" to see another.

History of the Englewood Neighborhood of Chicago
The Barrows family lived at various addresses on Wentworth (near 63rd and 67th) and Yale from about 1900 to the 1930s.

Our Mayflower Connection and Famous Relatives
Mayflower—Philip Delano, Jr. (see table above) was in the line of Philip Delano, Sr. > Jonathan Delano III > Jabez Delano > Jonathan Delano Jr. > Lt. Jonathan Delano > Phillippe de la Noye. Lt. Jonathan Delano married Mercy Warren, granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren. Internet search engines will find many sites with information on these ancestors. Be aware, however, that family trees taken directly from 1899 Genealogy History and Alliances of the American House of Delano by Major Joel Andrew Delano has some errors in it, including relationships of Jabez Delano and two of the Jonathan Delanos.

Famous Descendants of Phillipe de la Noye—Since Phillipe de la Noye is our ancestor on the Delano branch, his descendants, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ulysses S Grant, and Laura Ingalls Wilder, are distant cousins of ours.

Other Famous Cousins through the Delano Branch—Jabez Delano's wife, Prudence Hibbard, was a descendant of Alice Freeman Thompson Parke, who has been called the ur-mother. We link back to her as follows: Philip Delano, Jr. > Philip Delano, Sr. > Jonathan Delano, III > Prudence Hibbard > Margaret Morgan > Dorothy Parke > Dorothy Thompson > Alice Freeman. According to the New England Historic Genealogical Society site, Alice is "both an ancestor of the late Princess of Wales and Princes William and Harry, and a descendant herself of Ethelred II 'the Unready,' King of England (d. 1016)." The site also lists famous American tycoons, authors, and Hollywood figures among her descendants (and our distant cousins).

An Infamous Cousin—An account of one of our ancestors in the Delano branch being accused of fathering illegitimate children is at "The Life and Death of Elizabeth Emerson." We link to Samuel Ladd as follows: Philip Delano, Jr. > Philip Delano, Sr. > Anna Ladd > Timothy Ladd > Nathaniel Ladd > Samuel Ladd. A really cool old book from 1890 about Ladd genealogy is in Google Books. It tells all about Samuel Ladd being killed by Indians at the end of the 1600s and has even more information about his father, Daniel Ladd. (If the link doesn't work, search Google Books for "The Ladd Family.")
