Barr Family of Mass & NY
My gggg-grandmother was named Betsey Barr.She was born about 1791 in Massachusetts.She had a brother named Orrin Barr who was born about 1794 either in Massachusetts or New York.Orrin Barr died after 1871 probably in Norwich, Chenango County, New York.Betsey and Orrin's father was named Abijah Barr.
Betsey married Asa Wells, Jr. April 18, 1812 at her father's home in Preston, Chenango County, New York.Betsey and Asa Wells, Jr. had at least ten children, among them were:
1. Louisa Ann Wells b. April 20, 1829 inOxford, Chenango County, New York
2. Mary A. Wells b. abt 1831 in Oxford,Chenango County, New York
3. Charlotte Wells b. abt 1835 in Oxford,Chenango County, New York
4. Eli J. Wells b. abt 1838 in Oxford,Chenango County, New York
After 1850, Asa Wells, Jr. and Betsey Barr moved with at least two of their children to Cambria, Columbia County, Wisconsin.Both Asa and Betsey died there.
I would love to trade information with anyone who has more information on this family.
