    3. Barr Surname listers : In researching my Carroll line of my family history, I find a number of Barr connections that I am hoping others may be able to help me develop.THe connection to the Carroll surname arises from the fact that a Mary Ann Barr Married Charles C. Carroll at St. Titus R.C. Church, Titusville, Crawford Co. Pa. on Nov. 19, 1865. This Mary Ann Barr was a daughter of Joseph Barr and his wife Sarah ( maiden name unknown at this time ) My research indicates that Joseph Barr was born in Ireland abt.1810. wife Sarah, was born in New York, abt.1822, and Mary Ann, was born about 1839. I suspect that this Barr family was possibly from Chenango,County, New York, but have no hard facts to that. Sometime about 1847, I have reason to believe that this Barr family ( perhaps with other Barr families ) left the New York area and relocated to Rome Twp., Crawford Co. Pa. I have found them on the 1860 and 1870 census of that place. Mary Ann had the following Siblings that I know of : William, born New York, 1840 Ellen born New York, 1843 Catherine, born PA. 1947 Joseph. born Pa. 1849 John, born Pa. 1851 Now to a little about George W. Barr : I have reason to believe that he was a Uncle of Mary Ann Barr who married Charles C. Carroll. George W. Barr, M.D. of Titusville, Pa. was born December 10, 1832 in Sherburne, Chenango Co., New York. and was the only child of Charles W. and Almira ( Blineberry ) Barr., the former a native of Massachusetts and the latter of Ho;lland Dutch Extraction. George W Barr received his medical degree at the Buffalo Medical College in in 1856.and commenced the practice of medicine at Gowanda, New York. He was assigned the duty of Examining Surgeon in Gen. R. B. Valkenburg's Staff at Elmira Mustering District on Sept. 15, 1861 and was commissioned Surgeon of the Sixty-Fourth New York Volunteers on Nov. 13, 18611 Heafter his Civil War duties he relocated to the Titusvillle, Pa area in 1865, where he delivered most of the new born Children. His birthing records indicates that he delivered all of Mary Ann Barr Carrolls Children. Now, to what this researcher has reason to think is the Barr/ Carl/ Carroll connection : Charles C. Carroll was born in Ontario, Canada about 1843. He left Canada, and came down into New York where he enlsted in Company A, 165th. Infantry Reginent to serve in our Civil War. He was wounded at Port Hudson, La. and after discharge made his way to Titusville, Pa. where he married Mary Ann Barr. In Canada, his family went by the surname Carl rather than Carroll, It was likely the French version of the name. He Continued to use the Carl Surname during his Civil War Servive . On the 1870 Census of Crawford Co. Pa. He and Mary Ann were using this surname. In the birthing records od George W. Barr, M.D. they are listed as CARL rather than Carroll. In the 1880 census of Oil creek Twp., Crawford Co. Pa. they started to use the Carroll Surname. This researcher has reason to believe that this Carroll family were originally from New York and may of been Relatives of the Barrs, at that time. Then they relocated to Ontario Canada with Charles C. returning to New york to participate in the Civil War and moving on to Titusville in like manner that George W. Barr did. Hoping that this all will strike a responsive cord in some Barr lister. Kenneth L. McIntyre, Victorville, Ca.
