What county on Alabama was born? Do you know where he got married? When did he move from AL? In the 1880 census of AL, the only George Farr, about that age, (4 years difference) is the following: Canton, Wilcox, Alabama Page 476C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace George PHARR Self M M W 51 AL Fa: GA Mo: GA Occ: Teaching School Martha PHARR Wife F M W 49 MD Fa: MD Mo.MD Johnie PHARR Son M W 21 AL Bessie PHARR Dau F W 20 AL Nina PHARR Dau F W 19 AL Maggie PHARR Dau F W 17 AL * George PHARR Son M W 14 AL Joe PHARR Son M W 9 AL Kittie PHARR Dau F W 6 AL The above person does not seem to fit the bill since that Census shows that his father was born in AL as well. But with a sister named Bessie and a brother named John, which are two of the names of his children, it makes you think that it might be him. Also, there are two more George Pharrs in Wilcox County, AL that are mulatto. Could he be one of them? My Farr family came from SC to Shelby Co., AL, and I have tried to research most of the other Farrs in that county, because they all seem to be related. The only George Farr in my file whose age is close to this one is the following information that I have on him....... WILLIAM FARR was born Abt. 1799 in SC. He married (1) SARAH E. HARPER, daughter of BENJAMIN HARPER and SYLTHA HUGHES. She was born September 02, 1812 in West TN. He married (2) ELIZA. She was born Abt. 1832. Children of WILLIAM FARR and SARAH HARPER are: i. BENJAMIN2 FARR, b. Abt. 1832, AL; m. M.E., April 01, 1854, Wilcox Co., AL; b. Abt. 1835, AL. ii. CHARLOTTE FARR, b. Abt. 1835. iii. MARY E. FARR, b. Abt. 1836, AL; m. ? RODGERS. iv. MARTHA FARR, b. Abt. 1838, AL. v. GUSTAVUS FARR, b. Abt. 1839. vi. CAROLINE FARR, b. Abt. 1841, AL. vii. MELVINA FARR, b. Abt. 1841, AL. viii. FRANCES FARR, b. Abt. 1850, AL. ix. JOHN FARR, b. Abt. 1852, AL. * x. GEORGE FARR, b. Abt. 1858, AL. Children of WILLIAM FARR and ELIZA are: xi. WILLIAM2 FARR, b. Abt. 1860. xii. FANNY FARR, b. Abt. 1862. Hope this is some help to you.
