Larry and Patrick, In the summer of 1982, I started a file box of 4"x6" cards to organize my research---naive thought!! Now I could fill 6 large file cabinets! If you are interested, you can email me privately about the Parr connection to the Smith family---some new information! I think maybe Benjamin Parr was Benjamin Ward Parr, son of Deborah Ward Parr and her husband ______Parr. Benjamin Ward was her father and names Benjamin Ward Parr in his will. Was Deborah Ward the wife of Matthias Parr, Sr.? Benjamin Ward's will was dated19 June 1797 in East Windsor Twsp.,* Middlesex Co., NJ (that is now Mercer Co., but not far from where I live. One interesting thing I now note because I have been researching so many family lines in NJ that Benjamin Ward's will names daughter Martha Ward Van Marter and her son Benjamin Ward VanMarter and a son On Ward (Maybe On for Onderdonk?) Witnesses Peter Wilson, Robert Karson, and Rescaric Moore. The inv. of the will was made by Jacob Fisher and Robert Karson. An important note here is that there is a strong link between the Moore family and the Parr family intermarried with the Smyth/Smith family and the Helfer family. Jesse Parr d. 1776-8 and Elizabeth <Lee> had two sons Jessy and Joseph...Either son Jessy or grandson Jessy married a Nancy Ann or Mary Ann/Nancy Smyth, dau of Benjamin Smith, Jr. An Isaac Parr of Cranbury*, Middlesex co. had two ch: Dau Elizabeth m. John Moore. Benjamin Smith's family includes a friend named Moore. (*Note that Cranbury adjoins East Windsor Twp.) Christopher Helfer, second husband of Elizabeth <Lee> Parr, had a dau Appolonia who married a Fisher, first name unknown. There was also a Margaret Parr who had a dau Rachel in Warren or Sussex counties that I cannot match with a Parr man. I also have a list of Parr men from NJ who fought in the Rev War. Nancy Parr in NJ
