BARKALOW, CORNELIUS C. (Bio) (From History of the New Jersey Coast, published,1902)
Cornelius C. Barkalow, scion of the founders of the Dutch settlements in America, and direct descendant of the original proprietor of the tract of land now comprised in Howell Township, Monmouth County,NJ., was born in New York City, August 24,1812, while his father was in the Federal army during the War of 1812.
The Barkalow family left Holland early in the seventeenth century[correction note- mid-17th century, circa 1656] and settled on Long Island,NY. Later in the seventeenth century, Cornelius Barkalow[correction note- Derick Barkalow in 1709] came to Monmouth County,NJ., and bought a tract of land two miles square, in what is Howell Township. He[Derick] died[1744], and his son, Derrick Barkalow[correction note- Cornelius[1717-1785)], inherited this land, which passed thence to Stephen, the grandfather of the present Cornelius C.[Barkalow] Stephen Barkalow was born in Howell Township, December 10,1748[correction note- bible and headstone say Apr.24,1748], and died March 14,1826[correction note- bible and headstone say March 15,1825]. He owned the "Barkalow Mill", a grist and saw mill, and lived during the trying period of the Revolutionary War; he left sons and daughters. One of these sons, Cornelius S. Barkalow, was the father of our subject. He was born in Freehold Township, February 22,1772[note- bible says "1774"], and died February 2,1842[note- headstone says "Feb.9"]. The mother of Mr. Barkalow, Zededah Errickson, was born in Freehold Township, July 8, 1780, and died May 6, 1860. They were married a year before the War of 1812[correction note- "11 Aug 1799"]. As already intimated, Cornelius S. Barkalow served during the War of 1812, having grown up to manhood as a millwright.
Cornelius C. Barkalow, son of the preceding, received his early education in the district schools of his time and has supplemented his early education by wide experience and extensive reading. Growing to manhood, he bought and cultivated land, upon which he lived until 1872. He then, for a year, lived at Blue Ball in Howell Township, a small country place, and from there removed to his present home, two miles from his original farm, where he has since resided. He has always devoted his time and energies to farming. In his eighty-third year he fell from an apple tree in which he was working and injured his hip, necessitating now the use of a cane. Otherwise, he is in active, vigorous health, retaining the full possession of his mental and physical powers at ninety years of age.
In March 1827, he was married to Catherine Errickson, who died Sept.30,1861. To this union were born Silas, Cornelius S., and John E. Cornelius S. was one of the veterans of the Civil War. He was mustered into the service of Company I, Fourteenth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, as first sergeant, and served with his regiment continuously except a few months, when he was laid up in a hospital with his wounds. He was shot in the breast in July,1864, at Monocacy,Maryland, and was supposed to be mortally wounded. The father went to the battlefield and stayed with his son until the latter returned home on a furlough. In January,1865, he returned to the command and was with the Fourteenth up to the close of the war. He was made first lieutenant Sept.10,1864; Captain, December, December 1,1864; and Brevet-Major, April 2,1865. He died February 12,1866.
