Joseph Henderson Gaar, Louis B. Garr, Michael Daniel Gaar of Monroe /Butts Co., GA
Looking for info on these Garrs. Louis B. Garr (b. 1862)had a brother named Colombus, married Nancy Jane Shaw and lived around Henry/Butts Co, GA. His father Joseph Henderson Gaar, married Sarah Elizabeth Still in 1857 and was killed in the Civil War in 1862. His father, Michael Daniel Gaar (1801-1864)- son of John Adam Gaar, was a minister and served as a state legislator and sheriff in Butts Co. Looking for info about the descendants. Also, looking for the Shaw and Still families that were married into- names of parents, etc. The daughter of Louis, Ruby Garr,B. in 1897, McDonough, GA married Purvis F. Mann of Monroe, Co. GA

John Adam Gaar ....b. 1856
Hi: I believe that this John Adam Gaar was the son of Michael Adam Gaar (b. ~1813), whose parents were Joel Gaar (~1771-1856) and Lucy Head. Joel's parents were Michael Gaar and Elizabeth Wilhoit. Michael Gaar was a Lt. in the Culpeper Co., VA Militia during the Revolutionary War.
This is where our families connect. Joel's brother John Adam Gaar (d. ~1821) moved to Georgia after the Rev. War with his family. This older John Adam Gaar married Nancy C. Daniel and these were my gr-gr-gr-gr grandparents via their only child, Rev. Michael Daniel Gaar (b. ~1801). Let me know if you want more info.

My grandfather was Eugene Franklin Gaar, born 1895, Hinds Co., MS. He had a sister named Irene. Parents were Mike Gaar and Lucy Ludlow. We now live in LA and I've been told that the Gaar's at Gaars Mill are related but don't know how. I'm trying to find out about Mike Gaar and having no luck.

Re: John Adam Gaar ....b. 1856
Were the Heads in your family also in Elbert County--from VA? I am also a Head descendant, and may be able to help you on that line. Ann--Wilson, Tait, Fortson, Head, Gibbs etc., etc. from VA to Elbert to ?

Re: Joseph Henderson Gaar, Louis B. Garr, Michael Daniel Gaar of Monroe /Butts Co., GA
I think you replied to me a year or so ago... lost all my information on computer and now trying to find it again. You wrote me about some information that was possibley connected to Eugene Franklin Gaar b 1895 Hinds Co., MS , sister Irene Gaar b 1892. Their parents were Mike Gaar and Lucy Ludlow. I know those aren't their formal names, but that is what Eugene put on his SS application.

Re: Joseph Henderson Gaar, Louis B. Garr, Michael Daniel Gaar of Monroe /Butts Co., GA
Libby The lineage of Gaars you have listed are in Wilkes County GA Early Records and ELBERT Co GA. Michael Daniel Gaar was the only son of John Adam Gaar and Nancy Cornealius Daniels. John Adam Gaar was the son of Michael Gaar and wife Elizabeth Wilhoite Go to Family Trees on Rootsweb and Type in Michael Gaar and find postings by Terry Mann. This is his family.
