- A website (2007) listing those buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, East Derry, Rockinghm Co., NH; shows a John Barr, d. July, 9. 1731 at age 82. This is undoubtedly the John Barr who actually died in 1751 and the tombstone death date must have been incorrectly read or transcribed. Also transcribed on this website for this cemetery are a Jane Barr and Mary Barr, both transcribed as having died, November 16, 1737 at age 66. Curiously the website lists "Mary" as having been John Barr's wife, even though John's tombstone says "Jane his wife." In addition there is an additional Mary Barr, transcribed as having died June 19, 1750, and as the wife of Samuel Barr. Because the listings on this website were taken from transcriptions made several years old, is not known exactly how many Barr's are in this cemetery or if the two Marys are unintended duplicates. Furthermore, the accuracy of these listing nor the legibility of the gravestones themselves is not known. A personal inspection may help with this issue.
