Listed in the 1850 census of Guernsey Co, Birmingham Monroe Twp, p. 412A, dwelling 419: Wm Barr, 31, Wagon maker, Penn Cassandra, 29 Ohio Wm, 10, Ohio Finley, 7 Ohio James M., 4, Ohio In Westland Twp, p. 467A, dwelling 1170: Edward Gay, 44, Penn Elizabeth, 32, Penn Joseph M., 11, Ohio James, 9, Ohio Maria Barr, 3, Ohio I'm not researching the Barr surname, but I have some indirect ties. My g-g-aunt Marinda Powell married Laban French. Laban's mother was Mahala Barr m. Richard French in Tuscarawas Co OH in 1838. Around 1850 the French family left Ohio and eventually settled in Perry County IL. I don't know if the Barrs in Tuscarawas are related to the Barrs in Guernsey. There are several marriages for the surnames Gay, Barr, and McGee/McKee listed on the LDS Family Search site. To narrow your search, a good technique is to enter a batch number. The batch numbers for marriage records in Guernsey County are M514321 (1810-1848); M514322 (1842-1861); and M514323 (1861-1870). Go to the search site http://www.familysearch.com/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp and select International Genealogical Index. Enter a last name, select a Region, enter the batch number, and click on Search. The results will show marriages in Guernsey Co for the surname entered. Hope I've been of help.
