Who is John Barr

[Jim Woodall]

Thank you Dennis Urban, JMadonna, Dave Taylor for your comments regarding John H Barr and interpretations on his contacts with Atzerodt and where he is buried.

Background on John H Barr:

He seems to be the first son of Chloe Jenkins and Thomas Barr. Chloe Jenkins is the sister of Sarah Ann Jenkins (my 4th great grandmother) whose family (siblings, nephews and nieces, and her own descendants) have had various contacts with the Surratts and other families of the conspirators both before, during, and after the assassination including:
1) sponsoring of the Surratt boys for baptism
2) putting up the Surratts when the house burned
3) where the Surratts were apparently married
4) sister-in-law who was sister of Sarah Talbert who married Richard Neale
5) Richard Bosieau who covered the trial and hanging for the paper
6) and apparently a nephew who met Atzerodt for the first time 2 days before the assassination
7) other stuff

So, that now makes for Sarah Ann Jenkins and 3 of her siblings' families who interacted with Mary Surratt or other conspirators.

Incidental contact? Could be. But I would believe John Barr would have known who the Surratts were already. Maybe not Atzerodt??

Further thoughts?
