This may not help, but some of our BARR'S are from Pa., Scots origin. Irony is that my Grandfather was Samuel(Samson) Eddy Barr. I never knew him, but understand that he passed away in New York in the late 1920's. Regards, Brad Barr

Hi Barr's My name is Bev Gray and I am looking for info about Irish BARR's from NY and western PA. My ggrandfather William Barr was born in NY, 1842. f. Joseph Barr born Ireland, c. 1810, m. Sarah _ Barr b. 1817 NY. Wm. married Catherine Ann Peoples of Murrinsville - 18 Nov.1873 - born 1850 f. John Peoples b. Ire. c, 1810, m. Margaret Murrin Peoples b. 1822 PA Murrinsville is in Venango tws, Butler Co. PA .The Butler Co. website has tons of info and maps about all the Murrins but I cannot find anything about Barrs. Wm. was catholic, at least in practice, a democrat in politics and a stonemason by trade, reputedly the builder, not the contractor, of the Butler Co. courthouse stairs. Tho I have found no record, thats what my granny said. These Barrs are buried in.the family plot at Calvary Cem. Butler. Also looking for Katherine Elizabeth Barr b. 1851 PA f. ? Barr b. Ireland m. Margaret Barr b. Ireland c,1825 reputed servant in Titus family household Titusville, also reputed relationship with William Barr. Kate was a protestant in practice and a fine decorative painter and watercolorist. Kate had two sons. Frank James Gray and Charles Gray both born in Bradford c. 1880 - 84, father was James Gray b. 1854 Conneaut OH. Kate d. 22 Dec 1923 IN Sorry for the long sad story which might be a hot scandal* but hope someone on the list has run across one of my deliquent ancestors! *Kate's son Frank & William's daughter Anna ran off to Niagara Falls and were married in 1901, they were supposedly first cousins(?) the families never spoke again and I have never figured out how they could be! Thanks to all Bev --

Shannon, I believe mine never left Kentucky. Thanks Robin

Hi - To the person who posted the message about GREEN BARR. I have a VICTOR GREEN BARR in my ancestry born 1863 - not known where he was born. He was a dentist in Paterson and married Harriet Elliot Talcott Harrison in 1884. I have been searching for him for years! VICTOR GREEN BARR's father was listed as FRANK BARR on his marriage certificate and mother's name was Emma Barton Cook...but that is all I have. Victor Green Barr died in 1915 in Elizabeth, NJ. Any chance we can connect these two people with very similar names? If you think we can connect, please e-mail me at: [email protected] Thanks - Shannon ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [BARR] New Private Barr Family Website!! > I don't want a secret password.

Dear Susan Another thought would be to email the Reference Librarian (if they have one) at the Barrie, Ontario library. I have been there and they have an interesting assortment of microfische files in their genealogy department. Barrie is in Simcoe County and it is a large library for a small town. To get the email address, you might ask your local library if they have access to various public library emails. You might even contact the Toronto Reference Library here in the City of Toronto, Canada, for information as they have a huge genealogical section and helpful librarians.

Dear Susan There is a lady named Mary Garbutt who is writing a book on George Barr who settled in Medonte Township, Simcoe County, in the Province of Ontario. She may be able to help you. I do not know if she has a computer or an email address. I do not even have her address at the present time but I do have an email address of a lady who has her address. That lady would be Carol Mercer (a Barr descendent) and her email address is [email protected] Perhaps she can tell you of Mary Garbutt's actual address. Mary is doing all the Barrs family tree for the purpose of publishing a book but she may be of some assistance to you. The name "Lessard" does seem to ring some sort of a bell to me. Good luck.
