Excerpts from: "The Long Point Settlers"
The Earl of Mar and the Marrs and Lemons of Norfolk.
A number of the original David Marr's daughters married and settled in the States before his sons or himself came to Canada, but the descendants of the family in Norfolk know nothing about them.
David Marr was born in 1743, and his wife Sarah in 1747, and as he did not come to Canada before the year 1805, his large family were all grown up, married and settled somewhere, except the two youngest, Judith and David.
David Marr's old family Bible has been preserved, and all that is known of the family is learned from its time stained old Register. It simply records the names of Sarah, Anna, Eleanor and Martha—who they married or where they settled no member of the family in Norfolk knows.
Mary Marr, eldest daughter of the original David, married George Rymal, and settled at Hamilton.
Elizabeth Marr, the third daughter, married Abraham Diltz, and settled in Harrison County, Kentucky.
Susanna Marr, the sixth daughter, married Charles Redman, a school teacher, who died in Pennsylvania, leaving one son, David.
Rachel Marr, the seventh daughter, married David Marr, and settled in Glanford, near Hamilton.
Margaret Marr, the ninth daughter, married Andrew Labar, and settled at Trafalgar, where she raised a large family of girls.
Judith Marr, the youngest daughter, married Abraham Labar, and settled in Norwich. John Labar, of Bloomsburg, is a son of Judith. It is said that Judith Marr was living with relatives at Hamilton at the time her brother David returned to Canada, and that he rested overnight at the place where she was staying, and the following day she accompanied him the remainder of his long journey.It is said they started at sunrise from the old Barton church on top of the mountain, and walked
to their brother Lawrence's new home on Marr's Hill, reaching their place of destination at eight o'clock in the evening, having walked a distance of fifty-two miles over rough and uneven roads and through immense stretches of mere forest trails.
