From Shenandoah valley pioneers and their descendants: A history of Frederick County, Virginia
(illustrated) from its formation in 1738 to 1908, by Thomas Kemp Cartmell (pub. 1909) (page 466):

The Barr Family
        The first appearance of this name in the County records, is that of George Peter Barr, who came from Loudoun County, and acquired an interest in land through his wife, which they sold to Martin Frieze. This was in 1766; and in 1770 he settled on 100 acres adjoining Major Maxwell's grant. This was in the western part of Frederick. This was the Jacob Morgan tract which Geo. Peter Barr's executors sold in 1816. Robert B. and John Barr appear in the Western part of the county at this time, and James purchased a tract from John Brannon West of Pugh's Town. Hugh Barr was then living in Winchester, one of the old-time brickmakers. He conducted business on a large scale. Many old buildings show his peculiar brick. Orders of court show he furnished brick for the present court house and jail.
        Robert B. Barr, third son of George Peter Barr, removed his large family from Frederick County to Winchester about 1812, and purchased property on South Loudoun Street. His wife was Ariminta Avery, of Fairfax County. Their children were: James, John Hugh, Robert, William, Cornelius B., Ann and Elizabeth. James moved to Staunton and married. His children Were Robert, John and Elizabeth. They continued to live in that section, and intermarried with families of the Upper Valley.
        John Barr married Ann, daughter of Henry Haymaker (as already shown in Haymaker Family Sketch.)
        Hugh Barr married Elizabeth Arnold; their children being Ellen, Ann, Oscar, Hugh, William and Clinton. Ellen married Robert Kurtz; Ann married Richard O'Roak.
        Oscar Barr married (first) Lucy J. Kerrell, daughter of Dempsey Kerrell. of Loudoun County. Children by this marriage were Virginia who married C. E. Huntsberry. Their children are:
        Walter E., married Miss Stine.
        Thomas M., married Miss Seal.
        Mary E., married A. E. Dabney, of Staunton, Va.
        Oscar's second wife was Miss McKinster, 1885. They have one daughter Rebecca, unmarried. Oscar Barr, one of the retired merchants of Winchester, was born July 1, 1835, in Winchester. He has been identified with the best interests of the city during his entire life, save his four years of service in the Confederate Army, and a few years' residence as a merchant in Hampshire County, West Va. While resident in Hampshire County, prior to the Civil War, he was Captain of Company in Col. Monroe's 114th Regt. Va. Militia; and was with the Colonel in his disastrous engagement at Blue's Gap. He then enlisted in Company A., Marion Rifles; served three years and was then transferred to the 23rd Va. Cavalry. During the war he was frequently detailed to assist surgeons in field hospitals, because of his nerve, and knowledge and experience with wounded men. After the War. Mr. Barr controlled a large mercantile business on North Main Street, until he was succeeded by his son Walter E., who retired later by reason of ill-health. The father entered business again, to be succeeded by his son Thomas M. Mr. Barr has filled many posts of trust under the C1ty government.
        Hugh Barr, brother of Oscar, was Drum Major of the 5th Reg. Va. Infantry. William and Clinton the other brothers, made their homes in Texas, and are men of prominence and wealth. William was a gallant soldier in Capt. Jack Adams' Cavalry Company, which won distinction.
        Robert Barr, son of Robert Barr and Araminta Avery, his wife, was born June 27, 1811. His first wife was Mary, daughter of Peter Kreemer. Their five children were: Julia, married Charles Correll. They had children, one being J. E. Correll, who has been Commissioner of the Revenue for Winchester for several terms.
        James W., son of Robert, married Miss Wall; children being Willie and Frank (twins). Owen (dead), Elizabeth, married Samuel Atwell. The father died several years ago. He was well known for many noble traits; and filled places of trust with signal ability. He was a member of the mercantile firm of Kern, Barr & Co., doing business on corner of Market and Piccadilly Streets for many years subsequent to the Civil War.
        Edward M. Barr, son of Robert, has been for many years the well-known brick manufacturer He married Emma, daughter of James Kiger. Their children are Charles, Frederick S., Mary Jackson and Edward Mitchell.
        Elizabeth Barr, daughter of Robert, married W; W. Wall. Issue, 3 daughters and 2 sons. Mary married Fred S. Barr; Grace married Dalgetty Kerr; Julia, unmarried. One son, Dr. Harry Wall, lives in Norfolk; Taylor lives 1n Winchester.
        Rebecca Wall, daughter of Robert, married Newton A. Swartz. They have several children.
        Robert Barr married Sydney Jackson for his second wife; their children being: Lewis, Virginia, Frank and Robert. Lewis married twice, his first wife a Miss Jackson, second wife Miss Julia Spurr. He lives in Washington, and is one of the city engineers. Robert married Miss Sumption, and has been connected with steam laundry work in Winchester.
        Mr. Robert Barr owned and operated the large farm near the Paper Mill, and also was a contractor and builder; being an expert brick mason, and highly esteemed for his many good deeds. He left a handsome estate, the result of his own skill and efforts.
        William Barr, son of Robert, 2nd, married Miss Brown. No issue. He was a member of the Old Continental Morgan Guards, that was engaged in the first battle of Manassas. He was stricken with fever after the battle, and died in Winchester.
        Cornelius B., 6th son of Robert, married a daughter of Henry Grim and moved to Delaware. Their issue was Henry, Charles, John, Bettie and perhaps one other.
        Ann Barr, daughter of Robert, 2nd, married Samuel Trenary. They had the following children: Jas. M., R. Ed., Henry C., Saml., Chas. H., Ann E (Mrs Myers), Katie G (Mrs. Grim), A. B., Ida V. (single). R. Ed. was a gallant Confederate soldier.
        Samuel Trenary deserves more than a passing notice. He was a brick-mason prior to the Civil War, and lived on North Braddock Street, the present home of Oscar Barr. He was a man of rough exterior, large frame and loud voice; but he had noble qualities, and was ever willing to lend a ready hand to the helpless. He was a Union man during the War. The writer was in a helpless condition as a prisoner during the War, and was refused assistance by a man who should have offered help. At this severe juncture in the case, which meant death to the prisoner, Mr. Trenary appeared on the scene, and in his bluff manner demanded to know what was meant by the prisoner's sad plight, who was suffering from extreme disability and charged with being a spy. When answer was made, and a request that he receive surgical attention and be paroled to accept quarters with friends in the town, this man promptly replied to the provost marshal: "Colonel, give him to me, and I will report him every morning at nine o'clock;" while the man who refused all sympathy, sat speechless but with venom in his eye. For the one, the writer has grateful remembrance; for the other, a desire to forget the man of evil passions. His name has been necessarily mentioned in this volume. Mr. Trenary was sheriff during the Reconstruction period.
        Elizabeth Barr, sister of Saml. Trenary's wife, married Adam Haymaker.
