Surnames: BARRS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADE/496 Message Board Post: I am seeking information and help with locating G-G-G Grandfather Arthur Barrs' grave site and plantation site. He died in 1842 or 1843 in Twiggs County and had 65 slaves in his household in 1810. In the 1840 Twiggs County Census report he was still alive but his wife Nancy Barrs was the head of the household. All their 6 children were still in the household, but most of his slaves had been transferred to his yonger brother's household James Barrs. James Barrs died in Pulaski County GA. I live in northwest Florida and have problems searching cemeteries in Twiggs County. Any assistance or information is appreciated. The Barrs family came to Twiggs County GA from Lenoir County NC sometime in the 1920 and their father's name was John Barrs, Jr. The father of John Barrs, Jr. was John Barrs, Sr. born 1727 on the Barrs Farm in Toft Hamlet, Warwickshire, England.
