Note 1:
In 1843, Dr. William H. Barr left in his will that Sue's oldest child, Sina,
to go to his daughter, Margaret Reid Barr. Margaret Barr later
married Rev. Edwin Cater in 1859. In 1860, Rev. Edwin &
Margaret Cater moved to Somerville, Tennessee, where he was called to be
the minister of a Presbyterian Church there. They took Sina and
her husband, Sam, and their children with them. Sam & Sina
Williamson left Somerville, Tennessee around 1871 and moved to
Lafayette County, MS (near Oxford), where her mother, her oldest
brother, John, and her baby sisters, Patsy & Susie,
were living. It is not known when Sue and three of her children
left Pontotoc, MS and went to Oxford, MS.
Note 2: Dr.
William Barr's estate file confirms that Sue had a son named John. He was
found living in Hugh A. Barr's household in 1880. John was single.
Hugh A. Barr was the older brother of William Barr Jr. Hugh was a lawyer in the
town of Oxford.
Note 3: Dr.
William Barr's estate file confirms that Sue had a son named Luther. No
other info can be found on Luther. He may have died at a young age.
Note 4: Ms. Vikki
D. Jenkins, great-great granddaughter of Cannon Beckley, provided a crucial
document from the research efforts of Mrs. Florence Bolden in 1977 proving the
Beckley's link to William Barr, Jr. This document was the pension
application of Edmond Beckley, who tried to get a pension for his service during
the Civil War. Two questions asked on the application were: (1) What was
the name of the party whom you served? Edmond's answer was William Barr.
(2) What was the name or designation of the company and regiment or vessel in
which your owner served? Edmond's answer was Pontotoc Minute Men
42nd Mississippi Regiment. William Barr had first served with the
2nd Mississippi
Regiment and then the Pontotoc Minute Men. William Barr
evidently took Edmond with him to the War.
Note 5: Joseph may
have died sometime before 1870. He was never found in the census records.
However, church records of the Upper Long Cane Presbyterian Church of Abbeville,
SC show that he was born to Jacob & Sue in 1852.
