I do have both Barr books about that Barr family (the one by Charles R. Barr as well as the one by Reverend William B. Barr) but these are not directly related as far as I can tell. I think the branch I am looking for came from part of what was Cumberland County, then was part of Lancaster County, then became part of Mifflin County. My gut feeling is that the father's name was John and that he was born in Pa between 1755 and 1765 and that his wife's surname may have been Campbell, but just supposition at this point. This Samuel Barr, the son, is the Samuel Barr that "Samuel's Church" in Mifflin County was named after (he donated the land to the Church).
