Am interested in information on Barrs Mills, Ohio. It seems to be in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, according to this online version of History of Tuscarawas County (1884) found at: http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Tuscarawas/TuscarawasHSugarCr eek.htm But according to this site http://www.geocities.com/ohioplaces/changed/b.html Beach City in Stark County, Ohio, was once called Barrs Mills. Was this a different location? The Barr in Barrs Mills of Tuscarawas County seems to be David Barr, who purchased the mill here from Thomas Walters about 1869, occasioning a change in the name of the place from Walters Mills to Barrs Mills. See his bio at http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Tuscarawas/TuscarawasHSugarCr eek.htm. David Barr was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. His parents were Henry and Susanna (Bixler) Barr, who emigrated to the neighborhood of Navarre, Stark County. Ohio, in 1822, according to the bio.
