Rebecca Catharine Haynes O'Barr, the widow of Dr. John O'Barr, was married 12-18-1856 in Washington Co., to William Adam Dinwiddie. There were two or three O'Barr children in her household, and Mr. Dinwiddie helped her to raise those children, and several of his own, from the time of the wedding. Dr. O'Barr, her first husband, was a medical doctor, and he died early in his lifetime, presumably from some epidemic of fever, and he is buried, so far as we know, in Washington Co. One of the sons of Rebecca's second marriage was William Edwin Dinwiddie, b. 1-20-1868, in Washington Co. There were several other Dinwiddie children, both before and after William Edwin, who is my GF. Any information about the ancestry of Dr. O'Barr, and information about his children would be very interesting to me, for the broader outline of this family's extended tree. Please let me know if you can help!! Thanks.
