Biography:
BARROW, JOHN (b 1758: Preface to Original Poems)
He is identified as a jeweller on the title page although the memoirs that are interspersed with his poems state that he never completed his apprenticeship. He was born at London and was a chorister until age 17. He claims to have known Benjamin Franklin and to have spent much time with the American community in London. He married in 1782. His book was published by subscription, but there is no list of names. There is, however, a frontispiece portrait of Barrow. SR
