Hello, I've just joined your list and would like to introduce my Barr family line, or lack of it. I've been stuck for over twenty years trying to find my GGGrandfather, William Barr, born in June of 1843, and lived in Ohio. I know nothing of any siblings or parents. I do know that he apparently married in the 1870's had a daughter named Ola born abt. 1875 and then his first wife died. Next he married an Emma abt. 1878/9 in Columbus, OH and together they had about 9 children according to census records. The children of Wm. And Emma that I can find are as follows: Mary Ann b. 1879 William H. b. Jan. 1883 or 84 (He is my GGrandfather) Clark E. (Jake) b. May 1889 Ida B. b. Apr. 1892 Samuel E. b. abt. Oct. 1892-5 (Possibly lived in Union Co., OH), d. Aug. 1974 John Oberly b. Oct. 1891 and d. Feb. 1895 Jesse D. b. Apr. 1904 or 05 (Lived in Franklin Co., OH), married Elizabeth Shockley, d. Aug. 1967 Margaret ??? William H. above born abt. 1884, married Nancy Ankrom, and had 8 children: William Charles Harry Harrison (My Grandfather) b.
