I'm sorry Ruth. I have not come across any Barr's in my research. I believe
my Keedy line descended from Ludwig however I have not definitively proven
that as yet. Ludwig left Washington County in 1799. He settled in Mason
County KY and moved on to Bledsoe County TN. I believe my gg-grandfather
John was one of the older (if not the oldest) child of Ludwig (Lewis) Keedy
and Catherine Welty. Wish I could be of more help.
Have you tried the Indiana GenWeb site? Depending upon the county in which
they lived you may find some very good info there.
I will keep you mind if I do come across anything.
Alice
