General Notes: Husband - James Barr


He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, of Scotch-Irish parentage. Prior to 1773 he settled in Westmoreland County, and he began to aid the cause of the Colonists at the opening of the Revolutionary struggle, in the organization of what was then called the Associated Battalions or bodies of Associators raised not only for the defense of the frontier but also to protect the whole state and assist the country. He was a member of the constitutional convention held in the state in 1776 which framed the first constitution of the State of Pennsylvania. From 1787 to 1790 he was a member of the General Assembly of the State. In 1790 he was appointed associate judge of Westmoreland County. He was one of the first settlers of Appleby Manor, in Manor township, in 1791, and later moved to West Franklin township, where he died.
