Uncle Gabriel Barr was born October 2, 1811.  He was married to Miss Lilly Ann Scott March 16, 1836.  She was born April 1, 1818, died of consumption August 26, 1866, at Fountain Green, Hancock County, Illinois.

Uncle Gabriel after he was married lived for a number of years in sight of the old homestead.  He ran the saw-mill and tannery business, and for a time was very successful.  He and his family moved from Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, to Lee County, Iowa, in the fall of 1854.  He farmed in the west.  He owned his own farm of one hundred and sixty acres.  He raised great crops of corn and wheat, but had very bad luck with his stock.  He lost twenty-five head of horses in eleven years, and his cattle died with "black tongue," and his hogs with the cholera.  The war broke out, and the two oldest boys enlisted in the army.  He sold out and moved to Fountain Green in the fall of 1865, where he spent the remainder of his days.  He died March 23, 1877, of stomach trouble, in his sixty-sixth year.  Aunt died in her forty-eighth year.  They had ten children, four sons and six daughters.
