     John Harr was born circa 1817 in Tennessee.1,2,3 He married Elizabeth ?.1 John died before 1880.
     

     I believe that this John Harr was the son of John Joseph Harr. One of this John's daughters was named Rebecca which would have been the name of his mother and one of his sons was named William Morton Harr. One of John Joseph's daughters, Susannah, married a James G. Morton. Based on these name connections, I place this John Harr that appears on the 1850 U. S. Census for Sullivan Co., Tennessee, as a son of John Joseph.

     This John Harr in addition to being a carpenter evidently ran a rooming house. There are an additional five borders, who appear unrelated, listed on the 1850 U. S. Census.

     John evidently died before 1880 as Elizabeth is listed in the household of James C. Ford and Elizabeth (her daughter) as a widow.

     John was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Sullivan Co., Tennessee. Enumerated were:
          1 white male under 5, William Morton

He was listed at age 33, occupation as a carpenter with property value of $1,000, born in Tennessee.. Also enumerated in the household: Elizabeth Harr, William Morton Harr, Mary C. Harr, Martha Rebecca Harr, John Joseph Harr and Elizabeth A. Harr.1

     In the Census of 1860, enumerated 3 July 1860, John Harr was listed as a head of household in Blountville, Sullivan Co., Tennessee. He was listed at age 43, occupation as a farmer, with real estate value of $200 and personal property value of $370, born in Tennessee.. Also enumerated in the household: Elizabeth Harr, William Morton Harr, Mary C. Harr, Martha Rebecca Harr, John Joseph Harr, Elizabeth A. Harr and Julia Harr.3

RelationshipSon of Simon Harr.
     John Henry Harr was born on 19 December 1761 in Shenandoah Co., Virginia.1 He married Suzannah Snapp, daughter of Lawrence Snapp and Margaret ?, on 13 March 1782 in Shenandoah Co., Virginia.1,2 John died on 19 December 1838 in Sullivan Co., Tennessee, at age 77.1 He was interred in December 1838 in Old Snapp Cemetery in Sullivan Co., Tennessee.1,2
     

     John's middle name is based on information found on page HPF 39-20 of the Holston Pastfinder, Vol. 10, No. 4.

     In Heads of Families in Virginia, 1785, John Harr is listed with 3 white souls in Shenandoah County.3 He lived next to his father Simon Harr. Paul Henkle lived only one door away.2

     On the 24th and 25th of July 1787, John Harr and Susannah his wife of the County of Shenandoah sold to John Buck of the same place, in consideration of 120 pounds, 413 acres granted to John Harr by deed from the Proprietors Office bearing date 29th December 1762, according to the release. The lease indicates that John received the 413 acres by deed of gift, no witnesses.4 The land was probably obtained by John Harr by deed of gift and was his wife's inheritence from her father Lawrence Snapp who was a large land holder. Lawrence Snapp probably was the receiver of the land by deed from the Proprietors Office in 1762 or had purchased the land originally. Lawrence had received several grants of land from Fairfax as well as had purchased many acres during his lifetime. John Harr was born in 1761 so obviously was too young in 1762 to received land by deed.

     On 16 November 1787, Peter Snapp and his wife of Shenandoah County sold to John Harr of County aforesaid, for the consideration of 160 pounds, all that part and tract of land that had been laid off by Jacob Riker, Esq. for said John Harr, corner to Lawrence Snapp and in Frederick Stoners line, containing 150 acres of land near Tumbling Run and part of a greater tract of 430 acres the same being part of a greater tract of 1,791 acres granted by deed from the Proprietors Office to Lawrence Snapp, Senior, who by his last will and testament in writing the 5th day of April 1782 divised and bequeath unto his son Philip Snapp amongst other legacees, and said Philip Snapp and Catharine his wife conveyed unto Peter Snapp the 15th and 16th of August 1783, said Peter Snapp and Catharine his wife now convey unto said John Harr as part thereof 150 acres, no witnesses.4

     After the death of his father Simon intestate in 1797, John and his brother Frederick, and half brother David, sold Simon's land consisting of several lots in the town of Strasburg in May of 1799.5 Evidently these three were the only children of Simon's either still living or living in the vicinity of Shenandoah County. John and David were still living in Shenandoah County and Frederick was living in Augusta County, south of Shenandoah County.

     On 9 May 1801, Margarett Snapp of Shenandoah County, widow of Lawrence Snapp deceased, made her will naming daughters Margaret, wife of Henry Keller, Susanna, wife of John Harr, mentioning my children's children, children of Christina and Michael Speigal, children of Peter Snapp, and children of Joseph Snapp. Son Philip Snapp, son-in-law Henry Keller, and son-in-law John Harr were named executors. Witnessed by Isaac Miller and Jacob Funk.6

     On 7 September 1801, John Harr and Susannah his wife of Shenandoah County sold to Martin Feazle of county aforesaid, for consideration of 100 pounds, all that lot or parcel of five acres and one quarter of land, being part of a larger tract of 150 acres conveyed by deed from Peter Snapp and Catharine his wife the 16th of November 1787 to said John Harr, no witnesses.5 On 10 March 1806 Martin Feasle and Mary his wife sold this five and one quarter acre lot to Jacob Funk (son of Joseph) for $400.7

     John Harr and Susannah his wife of Shenandoah County on 13 March 1802 sold Jacob Funk son of Joseph deceased of County aforesaid, for consideration of 510 pounds, a tract of land situate and lying and being on a branch of Funks Mill run, corner to Lawrence Snapp, containing 140 acres, surveyed 3 March 1802 by Jacob Rinker, Surveyor, it being the same land conveyed by Peter Snapp and Catherine his wife [to John Harr, witnessed by Philip Spengler, J. Gatewood, and Jonas Creabill. On 15 March, Susannah, wife of John Harr released dower right on the above land.5

     On 1 September 1806, John Harr and Susannah his wife of County of Shenandoah sold to Charles Meng, for consideration of 330 pounds, a tract of land lying and being near the North Mountain, containing 313 acres more or less, witnessed by John Geyeye, J. Evans, and Daniel Madeira. Mrs. Susannah Harr, wife of John Harr, released dower right to said land on 5 September, witnessed by Wm. H. Dulaney, J. Evans, and Daniel Madeira.7 This 313 acres was sold on 25 January 1808, by Charles Meng and Victoria of County of Shenandoah his wife to Henry Kearns, for consideration of 500 pounds.7 This appears to be the last record of John in Shenandoah County. It must be around this time that he went to Sullivan County, Tennessee.

     John, along with his half brother, David, moved from Shenandoah Co., VA to Sullivan Co., TN in probably 1806-1808 settling in the area northwest of Blountville, TN, in the vincinity of Immanuel Lutheran Church on the Old Reedy Creek Road, presently near the intersection of road #37 and U. S. Highway 11-W. John lived near the Drokes who lived on lands adjoining Immanuel Lutheran Church. It is believed that Paul Henkle, the reknown Lutheran minister, who made pilgrimages to Immanuel and East Tennessee churches and who lived practically next door to John Harr in Shenandoah Co., VA, was influnential in the Snapps and Harrs migration to the Immanuel Lutheran Church.2

     On 17 February 1807, Samuel McDonald deeded to John Harr for consideration of $330 a certain tract or parcel of land containing 66 acres be the same more or less said land lying and being in said county (Sullivan) and on the waters of Reedy Creek beginning at Richard Smith's Corner. Witnesses: John Punch, Martin Harkleroad, John Foust8

     On 11 April 1808, Phillip Snapp, Samuel Snapp, and Lawrence Snapp Jr. deeded to John Harr for consideration of $534 a certain tract or parcel of land containing 133 acres be the same more or less said land lying and being in the county aforesaid (Sullivan) and on the waters of Reedy Creek, Beginning near William Keys Orphans Land and joining George Rodehofers line. Witnesses: Samuel Blackmore, Isaac Stephen, John Stephens, N. Fein, Richard Gammon, Junr.9

     On 16 May 1808, James Jett deeded to John Harr for consideration of $155 a certain tract or parcel of land containing 33 acres be the same more or less lying and being the county of Sullivan and state aforesaid on fall creek, Beginning at a corner of Jacob Isley's and joining Martin Roller's line and along David Rollars line. Witnesses" Peter Pectol, John Jenings9

     One source lists the children of John and Susannah as Christina, John Joseph, John Simon, John William, John John, and Fanny.10 Another source lists the children of John and Susannah as Margaret, Elizabeth, John Joseph, John Simon, Susannah, Christina, Veronica, and John.1 Both lists are combined in this report for the family of John and Suzannah.

     Droke in his manuscript gave John's death date as 1836, and states that he was buried in Old Snapp Cemetery. However, the Houston Genealogical Society's Families of Sullivan County gives his death date as 19 December 1838.

     John was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Sullivan Co., Tennessee. Enumerated were:
          1 white male 5 to 10, probably a son of John William
          1 white male 30 to 40, probably John's son John William Harr
          1 white male 60 to 70, John Henry Harr
          1 white female 10 to 15, probably John William Harr's daughter Margaret Christina
          2 white females 30 to 40, probably an unmarried daughter of John Henry Harr and the wife of John William Harr, Christina.11

     John Isaac Harr was born on 25 December 1854 in Tennessee.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 He married Margaret Rebecca Akard, daughter of John Akard and Emma Margaret Rodefer, on 30 April 1889 in Sullivan Co., Tennessee.9 John died on 11 April 1937 at age 82.1 He was buried in Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Sullivan Co., Tennessee.1
     

     John was a farmer and lived on Harr Town Road in the Harr Town Section of Sullivan County.1

     Families and History of Sullivan County, Tennessee, indicates on page 448 that the marriage to Rebecca was 9 May 1879. This is probably incorrect as in the 1880 U. S. Census John Isaac was still living in the household of his parents with no indication of a marriage. The date given is from Sullivan County Marriage Bonds and is probably the date the marriage bond was posted. The marriage may have actually been 9 May 1889 and the date in the Families and History of Sullivan County may be a typing error.
