I am thinking about contacting a group of Barr's from a Cary Barr Trust mailing list. They are all related to Moses Shepherd Barr and his two wives Melissa Ann Marquess and Sarah Shoemake. I have a letter from one of the older relatives from the 1980's and she pretty much outlined this whole group. Someone may have new information if we get them active in our pursuit. Bill Bill, I think this Henry Barr in Rick Barr's line was named after his mother's people who Rick reported as being a German name of Wyman. I found a town called Lemasters, PA in Franklin co Pa when I was checking on the Garrison stuff. Also I thought it was interesting that Nancy Barr and Thomas Donnell went down Ohio R to Maysville, Ky this is same spot as Samuel Barr brother of Wm Barr Sr of Cincinnati, Oh went. Of coarse all flatboats went by there going down Ohio River. I need to dig up something. Is Ervin and Irvin/ Irwin the same name?? Capt Nathaniel Drew sister was in Chester co Pa at Faggs Manor and she was a Ervin. I have her and her husband name in my files. When you talk with some of your ancestor Barr male desc, I hope you will encourage 1or 2 to join DNA project that I have started at _www.dnaheritage.com_ (http://www.dnaheritage.com/) . If money is an issue, let me know and maybe we could figure something out. Also I did tell you that I found a reference in a deed in New Castle DE about Thomas and Janet Barr, right? This area and Cecil co and Chester co Pa all are in a tight circle. There is a mention in the deeds of a Barr will in that co and I just have seen most of the abstracts of deeds not wills, yet. Hutchinson also pops up here. Mike Barr
