Thank you for that information! I keep running into the name Bloom Parr and have felt that there must be a connection and here he is again and in Crawford Co. Obviously not brothers, maybe cousins? I have from two different sources that John Parr's birthdate was July 4...his grandaughter had written the birth year as 1826 and according to Atchison Co MO 1900 census it is July of 1825 so he is of the same generation as Winifred Parr and her siblings. Do you know of their father's brother's or other Parr's with a Crawford Co tie? I know that I'm so close but just can't find that little bit to connect my gg grandfather to his family. Your help is greatly appreciated.
