Notes for David Barr: We suspect that David was born in Chambersburg PA. By his grave marker in Applegate Cemetery in Fairfield county, we are confident that he was born around 15 Jul 1784. Moving to Ohio with his father in 1806 they settled on his fathers land grant in Pleasant Township, Fairfield Co, Ohio. David was deeded a piece of this property from his father on 10 Mar 1807. On24 Oct 1809 he was married to Mary Jane Bibler by Lewis Sitez. David was appointed Executor of his fathers estate after Josephs death in December of 1818. He was left all of his fathers carpentry and joiner tools and we know from Joseph Barr's Probate records that he did aquire most of them. It appears from the list of tools that the family trade was carpentry. It would also appear that they were finish carpenters, possibly wagon builders, wheelwrights or cabnetmakers. David maintained the 114 3/4 acres untill his death on 20 Sep1824. At his death Mary was appointed administrator on 2 Oct 1824. as with his father his personal property was inventoried and then sold at public auction. a lot of his estate was bought by neighbors John Bibler, David Bibler, William Trimble, George Raudinbaugh, Martin Lantz, brother Joseph Barr and the widow Mary. It would appear from the sale records that he was well known and well respected in Pleasant Township. His children were placed in the guardianship of Jacob Macklin untill Mary remarried to Jacob Lantz. His estate was finaly settled in 1841 by a petition for partition filed by his daughter Ann and her husband Jesse Nichols.
