Barr was in World Family Tree, Vol. 174, Tree 48. The information therein stated that she died 19 June 1924 in Dallas City, Illinois. This information was followed by a ? or question mark suggesting that the submitter was not certain concerning the place of death. This entry also listed her father as Elias Barr and her mother as Sarah Ann Beauchamp. The paternal grandfather was listed as Adam Barr, Sr. , whose wife was listed as Mary Claycomb. Sarah's nickname was given as "Sallie." These surnames are all known in Breckinridge County,Kentucky. In fact, the Barr Auction and Realty Company is owned by a likely descendant of this Barr lineage. You can find this company by searching the internet. Mark Barr, of the Auction and Realty Company, is a friend of mine but too busy to bother about his family history. Be reminded that information submitted to World Family Tree is not accompanied by documentation. Caveat emptor! Hope this assists your venture. Francis Keenan Brockport, New York
About July 1884, John and Charles P'Pool/Pool got into a quarrel with Elijah and John Alexander. The Alexanders were shot ...Elijah died. John Pool was married at the time to the Alexander's sister, Susan and Charles Pool would marry their sister, Amanda, in a short time. The Alexanders were also cousins of the Pools...their mother was a Pool. The story goes that the Pool brothers left for Texas the day after the shooting. I searched for records in Breckinridge County Court House but found no record also searched for a newspaper record and couldn't find any. I heard the story from both the Alexander and Pool sides and I believe it's true.....any of you Breckinridge County researchers have any suggestions? Any reasons a record of the shooting would not be in the criminal records? John Poole Houston -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
