.According to the biography on his son, Stout Barklow, in the Portsmouth Times Nov 27, 1886,

"The father of our subject was the late Benjamin Barklow, who for many years kept a grocery on Second street, on the western portion of what is now the school house lot. He was one of the founders of the Methodist Protestant Church in this city, and one of its chief supporters in its days of prosperity. When our subject was five years old his parents moved to the farm opposite Sciotoville, and lived there several years. When the flood of 1832 came it overflowed the river bottom in that locality, and necessitated the removal by the farmers of their residences back upon the first rise of ground. Those old farm houses are still noticeable by passengers on trains on this side of the river, but very few are aware of the cause of their being built thus back from the river. In 1836 Mr. Barklow’s parents moved to Portsmouth. "
