There are gobs of Barr's around the countryside but I don't seem to fit in anywhere. My mother was a Barr. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Ruth Tysor in SW Iowa ------------------------------------------------- Hi Ruth, Being that you are associated by birth and or BARR family in Iowa, is it possible that the following BARR names ring a bell? They are south central Iowa. Arthur Clay Barr (came from Ohio) m. Matilda Anna Sawhill children: Ruth, Lillie Ellen, Flossie Mary, Glenn Benjamin, Anna Hazel, Lloyd James, Bessie Fern and Elsie Mae Barr, all born in south central Iowa around Winterset. If this sounds like a match, or possible link, let me know and we'll see what information we have on each of them. Fred

I'm sorry Rebecca and Fred. We don't seem to connect. I just found my Barr's in Greene Co., Iowa. There are a number of children that I don't know anything about yet And the Christopher or Christian Barr from Washington Co. Maryland I know nothing about. He had to have been born in the late 1700's. He would have been my gr. gr. gr. grandfather. Let's don't give up!!! I had my gr. gr. grandfather John and his entire family in my " Iowa Marriages" file and didn't even know it!!!
