Does anyone know in what house Katherine BARR (b. about 1820, d/o John BARR 1795-? and Barbara KEEPORTS) married Francis SHROEDER in 1847? The bio for Schroeder says it was home to four generations of Barrs. These Barrs are from the Quarryville-Strasburg area of Lancaster County. -- Susan Y.

Hello, You mentioned a Matilda Barr. I have lost one!! My Matilda Howie Barr was born in Scotland in 1893 and sailed from Renfrew Wharf to America with her sister Meg. Probably in the 1920's. She just disappeared. We think she married a man called HOFFIS Catherine

The obituary presented below is of interest to both the BARR and McFADDEN families of County Down, Ulster, Ireland, and I thought people would be interested in its contents. Mrs. Sarah Barr, 66, wife of William G. Barr, died at the family home, 800 Valley drive, yesterday morning. She was born in Ireland, but had resided in the town of Onondaga 13 years. Surviving are her husband, six sons: William, Jr., Walter, Henry and James BARR of Onondaga, Edmund BARR of Syracuse, and Robert J. BARR of Rochester (Monroe County, New York); two daughters, Mrs. Harry SIDDALL and Miss Sarah M. BARR of Onondaga; four sisters, Mrs. Mary BOYD and Mrs. David GIRVAN of Ireland, Mrs. Agnes THOMPSON of Dover (Strafford County), New Hampshire, and Mrs. James G. BARR of Syracuse, and two brothers, John McFADDEN of Ireland and Hugh McFADDEN of Dover, New Hampshire. Funeral services will be at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the home. Burial will be in Onondaga Valley Cemetery. Syracuse Post-Standard, Sunday, 6 June 1926, p. 20, col. 5.

OOPS!! The MA Barrs are MASSACHUSETTS Barrs!! Sorry!

There's a man in Massachusetts who has done the MA Barrs pretty completely. (Unfortunately he hasn't found my Matilda Barr Johnson, born in Massachusetts, moving to VT and then NY, but otherwise he has much information.) Sorry I cannot remember his name but it's back in my e-mail history no doubt. Perhaps he'll contact you through the Barr list if you put a query out. These Massachusetts Barrs all came earlier, from Scotland, I think, but may be related. I got interested in your posting as I have "Irish" ancestors who probably aren't Irish at all. My Kennedy and Edmonds families who came to New England in the mid 1700s are said to have been in Stirling, Scotland and Antrim, Ireland, with the later births being Antrim, Ireland. I think they're part of the people known as "Ulster Scots." My McLaughlin family who came from Killaleagh, Ireland, came later, like yours, perhaps, in the 1790s and settled in what is today the town of Winfield, Herkimer Co., NY. (It was part of Otsego Co. when they first arrived in central NY.) Friends of mine have Irwin ancestors from Antrim, coming in the 1700s. I've become increasingly interested in the Scottish/Irish connections back in the 1700s which seems to play such an important role in many of our own ancestors' lives. Sally Chirlin Chenango Co., NY

I am looking for the man mentioned that is from Massachusetts that has done the Maryland BARR family. I would like to know if they went to Wayne County, OHIO. Please respond when possible.

Still trying to find my "unknown Barr" who married Charlotte Beck. Charlotte and her children ended up in Jackson, TN (from LA) Charlotte (Lottie?) Beck (born 1841 in Belleview, Jefferson Co., MS) married this man in 1860 probably in Tensas Parish, Louisiana (at least first child was born about 1861 and Charlotte is shown living with parents in 1860). All the children were probably born in Waterproof, Tensas Parish, LA. He must have "died" by 1870, as Charlotte is listed as living back with her parents and with the children listed below: Willie Barr born abt 1861 I. W. Barr Born abt 1866 Mary Barr Born abt 1868 J. B. Barr Born abt 1870 Thanks for any help, Lisa Cotten

Bill Gibson, A similarity of names makes me wonder whether there might be some connection between our families. Did your gggrandfather Samuel Barr have a brother named George? My gggrandfather, George Barr, was born in Pennsylvania in 1826. His father's name was Samuel Barr, and his grandfather's name was, supposedly, David Barr. George Barr married Susan Smith, supposedly in Ohio, and they were in Kosciusko County, Indiana by the late 1850's. George and Susan Barr had three sons, David, Samuel, and John. John Barr had three children, Earl (my grandfather), Guy, and Pearl. As you can see there are some of the same names in your line as in mine. I have run into a brick wall trying to find out more about George and his ancestors.

Hi, my grandfather Sam Eddy Barr was born in Philadelphia(area) in 1870. Married Jeanne Crawford from Canada. They had 2 sons. Good luck in your search! Brad Barr

I am looking for a BARR family that eludes me also. I know that they were from PA around 1800. They settled for a while in Wayne county OHIO and had some children there. I do not know their names!! BUT, I do know 2 or 3 of their sons' names. One was John, born in 1824. One was Samuel, born in 1827. One was Benjamin, but do not know birth date or state. Maybe we are the 2 people to put a puzzle together?

Hi Bob, I actually have no idea of Samuel BARRS family. I hit a brick wall when I got this far. I am going to Indiana, PA in August to try to find out more about this part of the family. Both sides of my family, my mothers and fathers have been in Indiana County for over 200 years but I have not gotten past my ggrandfather William Nelson Barr as far as going back into history of the family. I hit a brick wall on him for a little while because of his two wives. His first wife, my ggrandmothers name was Margaret PALMER and after her death he remarried a Margaret LYDIC. I am finally getting the children separated from these two marriages. Recently found another brother I didn't know my grandfather had. He is buried in Dixonville where Margaret PALMER is also buried. Don't know where you are from and if you are familiar with the area or not. I currently live in Arizona so it is hard for me but I plan on going back there in the future quite often. Will keep looking and keep you in mind, Sincerely, Bill Gibson

Hi, I am looking for information on my gggrandfather who I believe to be Samuel BARR born abt 1825 and his wife who from a newspaper article name is Bell. This could be Annabelle, Isabelle or anyones guess. It was in a wedding article about his son whom was my GGrandfather, William Nelson BARR of Indiana County, PA and my GGrandmother Margaret PALMER BARR. I believe he was also born in Indiana County, PA also. My grandfather was Samuel Earl BARR and my grandmother was Verne Ioda RYEN BARR. William Nelson was born in 1848 and Samuel Earl was born in 1877 both in Indiana County. Any help with my roadblock would really be appreciated. My mother was Lotus Arlene BARR GIBSON. Her date of birth was 1917, also in Indiana County, PA. Thanks and God Bless, Bill Gibson [email protected]

Boy, I wish I knew as much about my GGG_Grandfather as you have about these families !! My grandfather Alexander Barr was born in May 1773 in Antrim County Ireland as far as I can determine.

I am working on two BARR families who were born in Bangor, County Down, Ireland. James BARR, a mason, born 6 April 1860. He married Elizabeth McFADDEN, native of Brush Mills, Ireland. They emigrated to the United States after 1886, when their son, William, was born (25 September 1886). They settled first in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, United States, eventually moving to Onondaga County, New York, United States. They had six (6) known children, who were listed in their Declaration of Intention to become a United States Citizen. The first three were born in Bangor, Ire.; the last three in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Agnes (1882), James (1884) and William (1886; John (1891), Thomas, (1895), and Albert (1897). William G. BARR married Sarah McFADDEN. They were natives of Ireland. They had Walter, b. Pendleton, Eng., 1889; Henry, b. 1890, Manchester, Eng.; Edmund, b. 1893, Manchester; James Alexander, b. 1895, Manchester; Robert J. b. 1897, England; Margaret, b. 1899, Bangor, County Down, Ireland; and Sarah May, b. 1903, place yet to be discovered. This second family is said to be related to H. Grey BARR, owner and operator of the Brae Loch Inn, Cazenovia, New York. Would appreciate hearing from anyone connected with these to families. I am trying to prove whether James and William were brothers, and, perhaps, their wives were sisters? dick barr Syracuse, NY

Hi Mel, You can get those records from any Family History Center, Church of Latter Day Saints The Church has filmed them and can be rented for a min fee. While onsite you can look to see the nearest church location <A HREF="http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=363507&subject_disp=North_Carolina,_Rowan_-_Taxation&columns=*,180,0">Topic details ('North Carolina, Rowan - Taxation')</A> Hope this helps Sharon

Thanks Sharon. Yes, tax records will definitely show that. Probably for me to obtain the ones for Capt. James Barr, a trip to NC is required.

Hi Mel, You can look on the tax records, they usually told if the person had slaves. Land horses etc. Hope this Helps Sharon

Help! I am researching my family tree. I am a direct descendant of slaves of Dr. William H. Barr of Abbeville County, S.C. He moved there in about 1810 from Rowan County, N.C. and soon married Rebecca Reid. Dr. Wm. Barr was the son of Capt. James Barr (1745-1788) and Elizabeth McCorkle. I am trying to figure out if Capt. James Barr had slaves. Has anyone come across any record or reference to Capt. James Barr owning slaves? I would GREATLY appreciate this information. Often times, sons inherited slaves from their father. I am trying to figure out if maybe Dr. William Barr inherited slaves (my ancestors) and took them with him to Abbeville County, S.C. Thanks!
