I am looking for a BARR family that eludes me also. I know that they were from PA around 1800. They settled for a while in Wayne county OHIO and had some children there. I do not know their names!! BUT, I do know 2 or 3 of their sons' names. One was John, born in 1824. One was Samuel, born in 1827. One was Benjamin, but do not know birth date or state. Maybe we are the 2 people to put a puzzle together?
