    , pages 190-191 - John Barlow, Mrs. Schenck says, was one of the earliest settlers of Fairfield. Earlier than 1653 he had sold his house-lot to Thomas Morehouse and settled on the beautiful plain still called by his name. This appears to have been an aristocratic part of town, a fine park having been laid out in it, around which the planters took up their home-lots. It became in time a famous resort for "turkey matches." John Barlow was a large landholder but does not appear to have held office.
