    3. Help! I am researching my family tree. I am a direct descendant of slaves of Dr. William H. Barr of Abbeville County, S.C. He moved there in about 1810 from Rowan County, N.C. and soon married Rebecca Reid. Dr. Wm. Barr was the son of Capt. James Barr (1745-1788) and Elizabeth McCorkle. I am trying to figure out if Capt. James Barr had slaves. Has anyone come across any record or reference to Capt. James Barr owning slaves? I would GREATLY appreciate this information. Often times, sons inherited slaves from their father. I am trying to figure out if maybe Dr. William Barr inherited slaves (my ancestors) and took them with him to Abbeville County, S.C. Thanks!
