Ruth,

I could not find anything in my resources for Christian other than the
marriage entry, but found some Barbara information.

In the Estate Distributions 1778-1805 (Morrow and Morrow)
There is an estate for
BARR, Martin. Adm. Barbara, John 2/15/1802' widow, Elizabeth Stone,
John, Jacob, Andrew, David, Mary, Otilla NEWCOMER. T. 336.13.5 3/4
(pounds, shillings, pence).
Also:
The Maryland Herald
March 21, 1799
"To sell cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, grain in the ground, blacksmith's
tools, shingles, 3 wagons, John BARR and Barbara BARR, adm."
Nov. 21, 1799
"To sell at the dwelling house of Martin BARR, late dec'd, quantity of
wheat, rye, sheep, gears, windmill and other -- Barbara BARR and John
BARR. adm"

Hagerstown Gazette
Dec. 29, 1812
"Died 28th inst. in the 70th year of her age, Mrs. Barbara BARR."

In the marriage index there is a Barbara BARR/Christian NEWCOMER
6/14/1808. Their newspaper item says he was from York County PA.

I don't know how many Barbara BARRs you are dealing with (or Johns for
that matter).
