Looking for anyone interested in the Barr family, I found this family first in New York City in the 1860 Census. Head of the Household is Andrew Barr age 30 with wife Sarah (Young) Barr age 27. Both are noted as born in Ireland. They have in this census a daughter Ann age 2 and a second daughter Sarah age 0 - 3/12 months. Mother in Law Margaret (Fair) Young age 70 resides with the family. The census shows that they resided in the New York Ward 8 District 2, New York, New York In the 1870 Census Andrew Barr is now living in the Mount Vernon Postal District of Eastchester, Westchester County, New York. His occupation is listed as Dry Goods. He resides there with his wife Sarah (Young) Barr and 4 daughters Annie age 12, Sarah age10, Minnie and Lillie are both age 4. Mother in Law Margaret (Fair) Young is age 80 and living with the family. By the 1880 Census Andrew and Sarah (Young) Barr are the only persons listed in this census the children are not listed neither is the mother in law. They still reside in the Mount Vernon Postal District of Eastchester, Westchester County, New York. Andrew is 48. I did not find them after 1880 and since they only have 4 daughters I don't know where to begin looking for them. My relationship to this Barr family would be that the children (Annie, Sarah, Minnie, and Lillie) are first cousins to my maternal grandmother's father Samuel Fair Smith. Sarah (Young) Barr is his mother's sister. Thanks for any suggestions on how to proceed Daniel

Daniel, this isn't anything that will take you further in your search, but the entire family is listed in the 1880 NY Census, with the exception of the motherIL. They also have a servant named Mary Barker living with them. I don't know why the Index only shows Andrew & Sarah. That's definitely a mistake. I can send you the image off-List if you'd like it.
