I am searching for information about Amos Parr, my great great grandfather. Amos was born in 1807 in New York State. He married Grace who was born in Canada in 1810. John, their oldest son, was born in Canada in 1838. Their other children were all born in New York: Sophia (b 1842), James (b 1843), Hannah (b 1845) and Amos (b 1848). At the time of the 1850 and 1860 censuses Amos and his family were living in East Otto, Cattaraugus County, New York. James Parr, my great grandfather, married Louisa Fritz on 24 December 1868 in Hillier Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. At some point after marriage James moved back to the States. James had one daughter, Eleanor, and three sons: Henry Amos (my grandfather who lived most of his life in Invermay, Saskatchewan, Canada), Edward (who was living in Fredonia, N.Y. in the 1950s) and William. James died in 1906 and is buried in Sheridan Center Cemetery, Sheridan, Chautauqua County, New York. James' younger brother, Amos, died before 1900 and his will is lodged in Sheridan.
