Barr Poore KY and MO
William F.(or T) Barr marries Amisitia Poore in Marion, Mo.He is bn 1811 and she 1819 both in Ky.IN 1860 they are in Fabius Township, Knox Co Mo po Newark. She is called by the family Amasetta. They have on the 1860 census Eliz @1835, Lewis 1837, Mary 1839, Daniel 1842, Joseph Marshal (called Marshal) 1845, Ellen 1847 (who marries Alexander Starbuck in Ark), Amasetta (II) 1849, Lavonia 1849 (my great who marries John Quincey Starbuck, brother of Alexander in Ark), Elgin 1856 and Roldan bn 1859.They add Robert Lee bn 1863 in Ark.They moved to Maumelle, Pulaski Co Ark, outside Little Rock between 22 Aug 1860 and 1863.
The two oldest Lewis and Elizabeth do not seem to have moved to Ark, but Lewis could be the soldier mentioned by my Mother, Ruth Pullen Adams, as the one the Union forces let out to play his guitar and sing because he sang so well.He died in prison.
Joseph Marshal Barr never married and who raised my grandmother Helen Starbuck with his widowed sister, C. Lavonia Barr Starbuck.
My grandmother said that her grandmother (? or great?) was a sister to Rebecca Bryant (always with the "T") who married Daniel Boone.
Does anyone connect with these families?Thanks Meredith
