Samuel Barr, the son of Andrew Barr and Nancy Ball, was born in Franklin Co., OH on 16 Oct 1816. From "The History of Delaware Co., OH" (1880): "Samuel remained at home until his 28th year. On Feb. 6, 1845 he was married to Elizabeth Steely, born in Ross Co., March 22, 1821, and was a daughter of John Steely; her mother's maiden name was Moore who died in 1866, her husband in 1856. After marriage, Samuel Barr and wife located in Franklin Co. on land given him by his father, where her remained about ten years, then went to Alton, same county, remained there three years, then went seven miles northeast of Columbus, stayed seven years, moved back six miles south of Columbus, stayed one year, then went to Westerville, stayed one year then moved east of Worthington, stayed eight years; spent three years on Alum Creek. Spring of 1878, moved to this township and bought twenty acres, upon which he is now living. They have four children--Mary C., Hannah, Ana, and Nancy. The elder, Mary C. is a teacher and has been engaged successfully as such. Mr. Barr is a member of the M.E. Church; his wife a member of the Dunkard Brethren."
The fact that Samuel's wife, Elizabeth, who died in 1881, and is buried in the Powell Cemetery (Delaware Co. Historical Society website information), gives reason to conclude that Samuel was also buried in this cemetery four years later.
