Hi Bill, I am sorry I have been a bit in responding, but I wanted to rechart my information from Cartmell's History, which has been my major source of refrence for the early decendants of George Peter BARR. It gets a bit confusing because so many of the names are continued down through the generations. Here is what I have: A John BARR appears in the western part of Frederick County about 1816, apparently fully grown, because he purchased land. He married Ann HAYMAKER, daughter of Henry HAYMAKER. There is a biographical sketch of the HAYMAKERS in Cartmell, but I only have the BARR info. Further on it states that Oscar, brother of my Robert B. m. Lucy J. KERRELL, daughter of Dempsey KERRELL of Loudoun Co.. Their children were: Virginia m. C. E. HUNTSBERRY, Walter E. m. Miss STINE, Mary E. m. A. E. Dabney, Thomas M. m. a Miss SEAL. Cartmell goes on to say that Oscar BARR had been for a while a merchant in Hampshire County, Va.,W. V.. He moved back to Winchester where he controlled a large mercantile business on North Main Street. He was succeeded by his son Walter E., who became ill and he was succeeded by his son Thomas M.. The dates for this John BARR seem to indicate that he could have been the father of your Sarah (Sally) BARR. Wheather Thomas M. moved on to Ohio, I do not know, but hopefully this may give you some clues to persue. As I continue my quest for the origin of George Peter BARR, I will keep a watch for Sarah. Hope this has been of some help. Bettie
