BARR There are many branches of the Barr family in Pennsylvania, not all springing from the same source. The branch herein recorded cannot be defi- nitely placed, but it is supposed they are of German descent. They were in Lancaster county prior to 1790 and lived near Quarry- ville where stands the famous "Ark" built in that year by Martin Barr, a wealthy dis- tiller, as a residence. This house, at the time it was built, was not only the largest in that locality, but it was one of the finest and best. The main house was sixty-five by fifty-five feet and thirty feet high from the foundation wall to the eaves. The walls were two feet thick, built of stone. Not a nail was used in its inside finish, wooden pegs and pins being used instead. The hall, twelve feet wide, runs through the centre and the stairway is wind- ing, continuing to the garret. This stairway is a mechanical marvel and has not been im- proved on by modern stair builders.
The Barrs were good farmers and the land always improved under their farming methods. They fed a large number of cattle and had
16I

large flocks of sheep. Martin Barr, builder of the "Ark," had four sons : Abraham, Christian, Martin, Jacob, and two daughters, one, Chris- tina, married Jolin Mowrer; she was the first child born in the "Ark" and lived to be one of the oldest residents in her community.

He married and had issue, but after the death of their parents the chil- dren left Lancaster county and settled in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
(III) Jacob, son of Martin Barr, was born in Quarryville, Lancaster county, Pennsyl- vania, where he resided until well along in life. He spent the last years of his life as a collier in Bruin, Butler county, Pennsylvania, where he died. He was a communicant of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married and had issue: 1.
