Message Board Post:
Kathy,
I am a researcher, but not a professional. I live in Tipton County and my ancestors have
been here since Howard and Tipton Counties were formed. I am also a member of the Tipton
County Historical Society. We do genealogical work as well and I monitor the Tipton county
message boards.
As to any ideas for you. If you are not sure where to look in Ohio, I would continue
looking for other records in the Tipton and Howard County. Hopefully, you will run across
a clue as to where to begin your search in Ohio. Below are a few other tidbits I ran
across for the Barr surname. I show the land patents for Delaware County below because
Delaware county is just east of Tipton and Howard Counties. Robert R or James (both buying
land in 1837) could be the father(s) of Ransom P and John.
Happy Hunting
Tim Clouser
