Barrow was born in London. He was the son of Thomas Barrow, a linen [[draper]] by trade. In 1624, Thomas married Ann, daughter of William Buggin of North Cray, Kent and their son Isaac was born in 1630. It appears that Barrow was the only child of this union—certainly the only child to survive infancy.  Ann died around 1634, and the widowed father sent the lad to his grandfather, Isaac, the Cambridgeshire J.P., who resided at [[Spinney Abbey]].<ref>'The Abbey Scientists' Hall, A.R. p12: London; Roger & Robert Nicholson; 1966</ref>  Within two years, however, Thomas remarried; the new wife was Katherine Oxinden, sister of Henry Oxinden of Maydekin, Kent. From this marriage, he had at least one daughter, Elizabeth (born 1641), and a son, Thomas, who apprenticed to Edward Miller, skinner, and won his release in 1647, emigrating to Barbados in 1680.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Cheesman|first1=Francis|title=Isaac Newton's Teacher|date=2005|publisher=Trafford Publishing|location=Victoria, BC, Canada|isbn=1-4120-6700-6|page=[https://archive.org/details/isaacnewtonsteac0000chee/page/115 115]|edition=first|url=https://archive.org/details/isaacnewtonsteac0000chee/page/115}}</ref>
