I had decided there was no connection between our BARR's. Today I'm not for sure!! Here is my line-up. Harvey Colwell Barr b: 1876 Fremont Co. IA. d: 1939 Fremont Co. IA. William Dunn Barr b: 1840 Holmes Co. OH d: 1924 Fremont Co. IA John Barr b: 1810 Washington Co., MD d: 1891 Greene Co., IA Christopher D. Barr b: unknown Christopher was married to Barbara Toby 13 Apr 1809 in Washington Co. MD (taken from Ancestry.com). They moved to Greene Co. in Oct. 1853. (Old Settlers Assoc. Record). That's all the information I have on Christopher and Barbara. With your posting today of the marriage of Mr. Schroeder and Katherie Barr . It's a little confusing but it sounds like the father of C.J. Swarr married a Miss TOBY.Could there possibly be a connection between these TOBY names. I'm learning that if you can't find the guy you go after the gall. It sometimes works! Thanks for any information!!! Ruth Tysor in SW Iowa
