He married Sibella Bell in 1820 in Lewistown and had 11 children: 1) Margaret (married John M. Harper)- to Tyrone, Blair, Pa 2) John Campbell (married Jane Hamilton) 3) William Foster (married Jane Rodgers Cunningham)- to Illinois, then Lenox, Iowa. 4) Thomas Lorenzo (married Susie Custer) - to Cass, Indiana 5) James Johnston (married Sarah A. Ort - to Greenville,Ohio 6) Jane (never married) 7) Elsie Sibella (never married) 8) Samuel Wilson (married Mary E. Stiver) - to Tyrone, Pa 9) Tamar (married James C. Boal)- to Centre County, Pa 10) Arthur H. (died young) 11) Robert George (died in Civil War, never married) I suspect that Samuel Barr's father was John Barr and his mother may have been a Campbell or had the first name Jane or Margaret. They may have come to Mifflin from Cumberland County or Lancaster County. They were Scots-Irish and Presbyterian. I believe that Samuel may have been the eldest child with at least 2 younger brothers and 2 younger sisters. Does anyone know of this family?
