and who is the father of many Barrs in Mason Jackson County, and John William Barr, born march 4, 1831 and died June 30, 1891. John Henry is one of my eight 2nd Great Grandfathers. Some claim that Isaac came from Ireland, but I'm not sure. The name may have once been the German name "Bahr (Bear)." It seems that Isaac and Mary Campbell were married in Mason County on January 6, 1825.
