Thanks, Steve.

Looking for the elusive Barlow, there is a later one who was a minstrel. These occupations often ran in families; I'll check some more genealogical records. The one Joybell is looking for doesn't show in the minstrel show lists or music anywhere, though. Odd!

Winnemore wrote "Stop Dat Knocking;" the 1847 sheet music shows the four performers of the Virginia Minstrels, but doesn't name them (at American Memory).
