I'm afraid this isn't my Barr, at least, not that I have been able to prove. My John Barr has also been listed as John B. Barr and his wife is Susannah. I am fairly certain my Barr family is part of the Ohio Barr bunch, but so far, only in theory. So frustrating... Bob Barr <[email protected]> wrote:This John A. Barr was my father. His father was Earl R. Barr, a farmer in Fulton and Kosciusko Counties. Earl,s father was John R. Barr, a farmer, businessman, and Fulton County Treasurer in the 1890's. John R.'s father was George Barr who came from Ohio in the late 1850's. Beyond that, I've hit a brick wall, but I have a great deal of information I'd love to share. Other surnames associated with the BARR family in Fulton County are: BAILEY, BRYANT, HOLMES, MATTIX, WIDEMAN. Bob Barr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Y.
