My husband's grandmother Cynthia Ellen Barr married 1st, George DUNN in Indiana on 19 Aug 1880 in Putnam County. After his death (or disappearance nothing has been determined re the death) Cynthia married Thomas William Cummings 24 Dec 1893. There were 3 DUNN children and 4 Cummings sons. Her father's name (listed on her marriage license to Thomas) is listed as James E. Barr and mother Phoebe Wiley. If you have any connection with any of the above would love to hear from you.
