Hi Mack:
Might your William Barr have been born in Brazil & been a Jr? I have a William Barr who married 2 of my Daniel sisters (they were great-grand daughters of my Lewis Davis in Monroe Co., AL) The Daniel & Barr families left the states for Brazil in 1866 & returned some time in 1870's and were going to settle in CA - but, Wm Barr died in Marshall, Harrison Co., TX. His wife, Lydia (nee Daniel), was re-married by 1881. So, it could be possible.
There is a strong connection between Barr's and my Daniel family. When James Daniel & wife, Lydia Davis (grand-daug of Lewis Davis) left for Brazil - they sold their plantation amounting to over 6000 acres south of Claiborne & east of the Alabama River to Thomas G. Barr.
It seems that Lydia Daniel's husband Wm Barr had a strong acquanitence with a Rev. Junius Newman who was a missionary in Brazil. At the death of Wm Barr, Rev. Newman and Lydia Daniel were married. In researching Junius Newman, I've found that he was from Mason & Cabell Cos in WV. WV borders on Ohio, which is where Thomas Gibson Barr was from.
So, I've said all this to say that I've seen enough to wonder if Junius Newman & Wm Barr were from the same part of WV & that Thomas Gibson Barr was also part of the same group of families.
Hope we can sort this all out some day
