Charles E. Burr, 1864-1931, was the son of Peter Smeltzer Burr and Hester H. Parish.
Peter and Hester had a family of seven children in Ohio. Peter Burr was the son of
Anthony Burr (1797-1867) and Amy Emily Bridges (1792-1863) of Rockingham County, Virginia.
Anthony and Amy had six children, four lived to adulthood. Between 1838 and 1850,
Anthony and Amy left Virginia to go to Ohio and settled in Fairfield County. Peter was
the first of the children to marry in 1853. Peter and Hester later moved to Auglaize
County, Ohio while the rest of the Burr family moved on to Indiana. Anthony's
original name was "Bohr". He was the son of Matthias Bohr (1765-1834). The
name "Bohr" was spelled "Bur" in Ohio, then as "Burr" in
Indiana. Matthias was of German descent. I have more on this family if you'll
contact me.
