John H. BARR and family were in Cobb Co., GA on 1850 Census, moving on to TX by the 1860 Census. They may have been in the area as early as the early 1800s. My lineage is through his son Paschal C. BARR, b. in Cobb Co., 12/7/1845.

Can anyone on the list do this lookup for Robert at the courthouse? I'd be happy to, but am limited in where I can drive and what I can do nowadays, due to a recent sudden and severe loss of eyesight. Robert, if no one here can help, try the Cobb County Genealogical Society or the RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) websites. Even though there won't be anything to find for events of the wartime years you need, you might want to request a lookup for something related. I am sure someone out there will be more than glad to help, hopefully for only the cost of copying fees.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hc.2ADE/794.1 Message Board Post: I sent this to your direct e-mail address, but you may not have received it. In addtion to finding Lillie with her mother, brother and grandparents in 1880, I found what might be an explanation for the "disappearance" of Newton Ingram, the father of Lillie and Robert. Here's what I sent: I took another look at the censuses and believe I've found a theoretical explanation for the disappearance of the Newton Ingram family. In 1870 the Amy, age 25, is actually Ann. I suspect her name was Mary Ann. Also there were two Roberts in the household. The younger one was age 4. He is almost certainly the Robert Engram, age 14, who appeared in the 1880 census. I don't know why Mary Ann and Robert didn't use the Ingram/Engram name in 1870 unless she was not yet married. Another curiousity is that only three doors away in 1880 was the Alfred Ingram family, He was 30 and his wife, Elizabeth, was 28. Cherokee County marriage records show that Alfred married Elizabeth Ridings on September 18, 1866. In nearby Cherokee County was a 25 year old Isaac N. Ingram, still with his family. I would bet his middle name was Newton. This leads to speculation that Isaac Newton Ingram fathered Robert out of wedlock, possibly married Mary Ann before Lillie was born and they were quickly divorced. In the 1880 census Mary Ann was back in her family's household with the two Engram/Ingram children. I couldn't find a marriage record in Cherokee County for Isaac Newton and Mary Ann, but Isaac Ingram married Rachel Holcombe in Cherokee County on February 8, 1872. This theory would be more likely if Alfred and Isaac were brothers. They both appared in Cherokee County in 1860, but in different Ingram families. However, Elizabeth Ridings was definitely Mary Ann's younger sister and appeared in the 1860 census. It makes sense that Mary Ann, whose sister married Alfred Ingram about the time Robert Ingram was born, knew the Ingrams. It is very likley that Alfred and Issac N were cousins and Mary Ann may have been involved with Isaac before Elizabeth got involved iwith Alfred. Take this for what it's worth. W. McCollum --------------------------------Previous Message-------------- Just one addition to this - in 1880 the note by Mary's name indicated she was divorced. This doesn't explain why the Newton Ingram family seems to have disappeared in 1870.
