By the way I have a lot of KY Bryants.

I am a direct descendent of a Samuel Barr who resided in Washington Co., OH. I have hime from the 1790's until the 1830' s in the census he had a dau. Rachel w/m William Stanton (gg grandparents, on mothers side) I can find no siblings for Rachel and do not know what happened to Wm. Stanton as Rachel later married Matthew Rutter of Vinton Co., OH. So. I am interested in all OH , Barrs'. I Think my ggg grandfather came from PA. LOL joyce

I'm afraid this isn't my Barr, at least, not that I have been able to prove. My John Barr has also been listed as John B. Barr and his wife is Susannah. I am fairly certain my Barr family is part of the Ohio Barr bunch, but so far, only in theory. So frustrating... Bob Barr <[email protected]> wrote:This John A. Barr was my father.

Recent posts to [email protected] and the Tippecanoe County, Indiana Rootsweb message board by [email protected] include some BARR family obituaries: Susan (BARR) CROUSE, w/o William O. CROUSE d. 1918, Scranton, PA, resided West Lafayette, Indiana http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi.2ADI/2393 Bertha Barr CROUSE, daughter of the above d. 1918, Scranton, PA, resided Scranton, PA http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi.2ADI/2394 Meigs Velpeau CROUSE (Rev.), husband of Ida Belle WALLACE, who was the daughter of Ann Eliza BARR 1831PA-1910 and Benjamin Finley WALLACE http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hi.2ADI/2392 Ann and Susan are sisters. Rev. and Mrs. Crouse had three children: Ann Marie, R. Miriam, and Louise Crouse. I have been trying to trace the daughters because I have some letters that mention Miriam's interest in family history.

Grace Frances Barr born Feb. 22, 1882 married Charles Bechtel Johnson born July 29, 1873. They were married Jan. 1, 1904 at Old St. Georges Church in Philadelphia. My grandfather was from New Berlinville, Pa. near Boyertown, my grandmother was from Michigan (to the best of my knowledge). I don't know who her parents were but her father was a Civil War vet and I have his medal but have no idea of his first name or anything about her mother. Often middle names were given using the mother's name and I wondered if her mother's name might be Frances. I don't know how my grandmother got to Philadelphia except possibly she visited her sister Emma Lucan Barr who married Charles Trout also of Philadelphia. I know a little about that family having visited back and forth regularly. There were other members of her family: a sister Mabel who lived in Jacksonville, Fla., a sister in Liberty, NY (don't remember her name), and two brothers who were never heard from and I think their names were Alfred and Fred. I know they tried in vain to find them. Thanks for responding and if you can direct me to another source I would appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the update and I have not tried to access LDS files on the family so I will get to that soon.

BARR Family History I am researching my son-in-law family tree and have found two women named BARR in his tree. The first is Margaret BARR, born about 1723 in Renfrew, Scotland who married about 1744 to a William Stewart born about 1720 also in Renfrew. I have no details of Margaret's parents. Margaret and William had at least 5 children:- Marion b. 1745 in Fulwood who married in 1770 to a James Carruth. Katherine b. 1750 in Fullwood who married in 1773 to William Allinson. Allan b. 1752 in Burnbrae who married in 1779 to Janet BARR, the second of my BARR's. Hugh b. 1754 in Burnbrae, Killellan. Margaret b. about 1760 in Fullwood, who married in 1779 a Robert Orr. Janet and Allan Stewart had at least eight children:- William b. 1780 Burnbrae. Archibald b. 1781 Houston and Killellan. Allan b. 1783 Burnbrae. Jean b. 1785 Burnbrae. Robert b. 1786 Burnbrae. Margaret b. 1788 Burnbrae. Janet b. 1791 Burnbrae who married in 1812 an Archibald Clark. Margaret b. 1794 in Houston & Killellan. Do you recognize any of these people? I would be pleased to hear from you if you do. Regards Ernie Davis. [email protected]

Pam, not Junction City, but just North of there, now Albany, OR my new email address is: [email protected] Phyllis Barr-Chezem Crothers.

Fred, I believe the person you are looking for lives in Junction City, Oregon. I had contact with her a couple of years ago but have lost her e-mail address. You might try to find her in a white pages search.

Now we're on broadband I can surf to my heart's content, and last night found this site ; Scottish Archive network. Go to the Online Catalogue and input a name or place into the database. It gives information on what Scottish documents there are, and where they are kept. http://www.scan.org.uk/ there's also a tutorial on Scottish Secretary script fascinating Catherine

Seeking info about the Bare/Bear/Baer families in Virginia. A neighbor here in Dayton, Indiana, is researching her house, a large two-story brick house. It appears the house was built by David Bare/Bear about 1878. This David Bare first turns up in a note in a local Methodist church time capsule as the brickmason on the building in 1866. Then he appears on a special town census in 1871 (the census was done in preparation for a vote on incorporation). In 1871 he had one person in his household, so apparently he was not married then. Next he appears to be the husband of Sarah E. Baer [yes Baer], who bought the lot in 1878 (yes, Sarah bought it) and he is on a nearby lot in an 1878 map as David Bear [yes Bear]. We can't find him in the 1870 Federal census, but the family is in the 1880 Federal census for Dayton, Indiana, Tippecanoe County: David Bear, 37, VA, brickmason parents b. VA Elisabeth Bear, wife, 30, VA, parents b. VA Maud Bear, dau, 5, IN Then the family disappears from the area, so far as we know now. So it appears we are looking for a David b. 1843 in VA. parents unknown, but also b. VA. David married, about 1875, probably in Indiana. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, Susan

Seeking information on Minnie BARR, who was a nurse in a district near Haddington in 1935. Her parents were James and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Barr who lived in Kilsyth. Siblings were Lizzie, Margaret, Robert, James and Samuel. Pat

Hi everyone: I have a real brick wall trying to find out more about my Barr's. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful!! My ggrandfather, Robert S Barr, was born abt 1847, we believe in Belfast. He married Jane Simpson of Glasgow and they lived in Belfast. He died 3 Oct 1897 at 106 Duncairn Gardens, Belfast. They had three children: Marion Barr, b 1882; Matthew b 1883 and Robert Simpson b 1886, all in Belfast. Marion married William Dawson Hamilton in 1907 and I have all that line. However, I have nothing on Matthew or Robert, other than a postcard from a Matt that might be this Matthew in 1910 that says that his lungs are much improved (?). Any connections or suggestions at all? Thanks, Marion
