I am working on Jacob Barr/Bear 1723-1803. But this post is about another Jacob Barr. I found children listed as the daughter of Jacob Barr and Anna Kendig in the Herr book, and have determined that this is not the Jacob and fourth wife Anna Herr Kendig but another couple: Jacob Bare, s/o John Bare and Elizabeth Stoneman; Anna Kendig, d/o Adam Kendig. Maria Barr, b. 1791 d/o Jacob Barr [of Wheatland Mills; NOT 1723-1803] and Anna Kendig; m. Abraham Groff (Herr Bk #665 Groff Bk P9), s/o Swamp John Groff and second wife Catharine Herr Eshleman. Barbara Barr b. 2 Mar 1794 d. 4 Mar 1840 m. Rev. Joseph weaver (Herr Bk #1468). Joseph Weaver is the brother of Samuel Weaver who married Martha Rush and in her mother's will is listed as trustee of Martha's share. Martha is the sister of Catherine Rush who married into the Jacob Barr 1723-1803 line (m. Abraham Barr Jr.). Other children not listed, or at least not located, in the Herr Book: Elizabeth Bare b. 1785 d. 1868 m. John Lehman Alice Bare m. John Funck Anna Bare m. John Witmer John Bare d. age 3 yr 6 mo. Any comments on this line would be welcome.
