Nancy (Sneed) Collier Barr was from a prominent pioneer family of Carroll County, Arkansas. Her home for over fifty years was on land three miles south of Carrollton. This is part of the land owned today by the Morris family. Nancy Sneed was the oldest child of Charles and Jane (Coker) Sneed. She was born along the White River in Independence County, Arkansas, on May 4, 1826. Nancy was four years old when her parents travelled the Dubuque Road over the hills and through the densely wooded area from Dubuque Landing on the White River to the Osage Valley in Carroll County. Charles and Jane Sneed and their family settled on land on Upper Osage Creek. The town of Fairview (later Osage) was started near their home. As a girl Nancy helped her Mother with the work that needed to be done to feed and clothe a large family. She had nine younger brothers and sisters. One of the things she learned to do was card wool which she spun into yarn and then wove into material for clothing and other household needs.(Cards she used and material she wove are family possessions today.) Nancy Sneed married Anderson Collier in the early 1840's. Anderson was the son of David and Mary Collier. The Colliers had moved to Carroll County, Arkansas, in the 1830's and settled on land along Long Creek a few miles south of Carrollton.
After their marriage, Anderson and Nancy Collier lived on land near his parents. Nancy's parents gave them a tract of land near the head of Long Creek. They also gave them two horses, two cows with calves, a negro slave, and a bed and bedding. Anderson and Nancy Collier had three children.
Mary Jane -- born March 27, 1845. Mary Jane Collier married Abraham Jenkins. They were the parents of eight children ---William A., A. Yell, Mary Cantie, Lou, Thomas A., Abraham Denton, Madison 'Matt', and Robert. Descendants of Abe and Mary Jenkins are still living in Carroll County.
Sebron Yell -- born February 22, 1848. Sebron Yell Collier married Delia Ann Blandenship. They were the parents of four children --- Ona, Thenie, Austin, and Jennie. Thenie Collier taught school in Carroll County for many years. Jennie Collier married Francis Lee Elmore and lived in the Carrollton area. Delia Collier died when her children were small and Yell Collier married Mattie Coxsey. They had one son, Ernest. Wilburn 'Will' Marion -- born in 1850. Will Collier married
Mary Bobo. They were the parents of six children --- Anderson Burl, Mellis S., Samuel L., Mark, Essie, and Arkansas 'Arkie'. Anderson Burl (known as A. B.) gave information for articles published in early issues of 'The Carroll County Historical Society Quarterly'.
Anderson Collier died in the early 1850's. His place of burial is not known. Nancy Collier and her three small children continued to live on the land that had been her home since her marriage to Anderson Collier. Henry S. Barr came to Carroll County, Arkansas, sometime in the early 1850's. Nothing is known about him except that he was born in Virginia in about 1822. He went to Nancy Collier's
place and helped her with the work and in a short time they were married. Nancy never knew anything about the background of Henry Barr. She told her daughter in later years about the background of Henry Barr. Henry Barr filed for land in the land office at Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 1853 and in 1855 and added 80 acres to the land already owned by Nancy. Henry and Nancy Barr owned 164 acres of land in 1855. They had cattle and raised a number of horses. Horses for sale were much in demand in the years just before the start of the Civil War. Several negro slaves helped with the outside work as well as work in the house. Henry and Nancy Barr had three children. Samuel S. --- born July 3, 1855. Samuel S. Barr married Rosia E. Hurst. They had two children, Delphia D. and Linzsey Booth. A grandson and a granddaughter live today in Carroll County.
Charles --- born in December 6, 1857. Charles Barr left home as a young man and settle at Killeen, Texas. He married 'Betty' Cox and had nine children; Allie, Samuel Frank, Lillie, William 'Bill', Mary 'Tumpie', Wash, Hugh 'Hudie', James Griffin, and Raymond. Marinda A. 'Rinda' --- born March 27, 1859.
Marinda Barr married William P. Reynolds. They had two sons, Mack Alfred and Hugh Dee. Henry Barr disappeared just before the start of the Civil War. He left home one day with a string of horses to sell somewhere along the Arkansas River. He never returned home and was not heard from again. Nancy Barr was alone on her farm once again with only her children and a few negroes to help her.
She lived through the difficult days of the Civil War. Several acres of cotton were planted each year as well as corn and other grains. Many soldiers from both the North and the South stopped at her place for food and shelter. Soldiers camped on her land and slept in her buildings.
After the Civil War, Nancy worked to improve her war damaged land. Three of her sons married and lived on farms nearby. Her youngest daughter and husband, Marinda and William Reynolds, lived with her and worked her land. Children and grandchildren as well as brothers and sisters and their families gathered often at Nancy's home for Sunday dinner. It was a happy time for all. Then on March 14, 1890 William Reynolds passed away. Once again sorrow came into Nancy Barr's life. Her daughter, Marinda, and two small sons continued to live with her and they did the work the best they could with the help of other family members.
Nancy Barr passed away after a short illness on September 22, 1901. She is buried in the cemetery in Carrollton. A gray weather worn stone marks her grave at the western edge of the cemetery with the simple inscription 'Nancy Barr'. She died at the age of 75 after a life of hardship but one of love and devotion to her home and family.

Mary Bobo. They were the parents of six children --- Anderson Burl, Mellis S., Samuel L., Mark, Essie, and Arkansas 'Arkie'. Anderson Burl (known as A. B.) gave information for articles published in early issues of 'The Carroll County Historical Society Quarterly'.
Anderson Collier died in the early 1850's. His place of burial is not known. Nancy Collier and her three small children continued to live on the land that had been her home since her marriage to Anderson Collier. Henry S. Barr came to Carroll County, Arkansas, sometime in the early 1850's. Nothing is known about him except that he was born in Virginia in about 1822. He went to Nancy Collier's
place and helped her with the work and in a short time they were married. Nancy never knew anything about the background of Henry Barr. She told her daughter in later years about the background of Henry Barr. Henry Barr filed for land in the land office at Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 1853 and in 1855 and added 80 acres to the land already owned by Nancy. Henry and Nancy Barr owned 164 acres of land in 1855. They had cattle and raised a number of horses. Horses for sale were much in demand in the years just before the start of the Civil War. Several negro slaves helped with the outside work as well as work in the house. Henry and Nancy Barr had three children. Samuel S. --- born July 3, 1855. Samuel S. Barr married Rosia E. Hurst. They had two children, Delphia D. and Linzsey Booth. A grandson and a granddaughter live today in Carroll County.
Charles --- born in December 6, 1857. Charles Barr left home as a young man and settle at Killeen, Texas. He married 'Betty' Cox and had nine children; Allie, Samuel Frank, Lillie, William 'Bill', Mary 'Tumpie', Wash, Hugh 'Hudie', James Griffin, and Raymond. Marinda A. 'Rinda' --- born March 27, 1859.
Marinda Barr married William P. Reynolds. They had two sons, Mack Alfred and Hugh Dee. Henry Barr disappeared just before the start of the Civil War. He left home one day with a string of horses to sell somewhere along the Arkansas River. He never returned home and was not heard from again. Nancy Barr was alone on her farm once again with only her children and a few negroes to help her.
She lived through the difficult days of the Civil War. Several acres of cotton were planted each year as well as corn and other grains. Many soldiers from both the North and the South stopped at her place for food and shelter. Soldiers camped on her land and slept in her buildings.
After the Civil War, Nancy worked to improve her war damaged land. Three of her sons married and lived on farms nearby. Her youngest daughter and husband, Marinda and William Reynolds, lived with her and worked her land. Children and grandchildren as well as brothers and sisters and their families gathered often at Nancy's home for Sunday dinner. It was a happy time for all. Then on March 14, 1890 William Reynolds passed away. Once again sorrow came into Nancy Barr's life. Her daughter, Marinda, and two small sons continued to live with her and they did the work the best they could with the help of other family members.
Nancy Barr passed away after a short illness on September 22, 1901. She is buried in the cemetery in Carrollton. A gray weather worn stone marks her grave at the western edge of the cemetery with the simple inscription 'Nancy Barr'. She died at the age of 75 after a life of hardship but one of love and devotion to her home and family.
