The family included a notable member. According to the archives of the City of Philadelphia, the first mayor of Philadelphia was Humphrey Morrey, appointed by William Penn, Proprietor of the Colony of Pennsylvania, who served one term from May 20, 1691.Several generations later, the acreage was divided among Morrey descendents. In 1747, Hugh Barr and his wife Mary Bewley, a descendent, purchased three tracts, totaling 195 acres. After Hugh's death, the property was awarded to his son Adam Barr in 1774 by the Bucks County Orphan's Court. Adam operated a still in the present-day cottage. Its date stone bears the year 1782 and the initials A (Adam), C (Charity), and B (Barr). The location of the "C" in a primary position on the stone may indicate that the structure was built under Charity's direction while her husband was serving in the militia.It is known that Adam Barr served in the Revolutionary War. His name is on the May 21, 1775 Buckingham-Wrightstown militia muster list, which was the first roster of men willing to fight for their young country. On the May 10, 1782 muster list, his name appears as an ensign in the Fourth Battalion, Second Company of the Bucks County Association. The following year, he is listed as a lieutenant in the Third Battalion.By 1784, Adam Barr's property had expanded to include two dwelling houses and four outbuildings. Adam was a registered slave owner in Buckingham Township. He held four black servants the largest number for a property in the township and an additional seven white servants.Adam and Charity owned the property until 1801 when they transferred title for the majority of it to Thomas Barr. Thomas subsequently added to his land, reaching a total of 240 acres. His Will stipulated that, after giving specific legacies, the remainder of his estate should be sold at a public auction.
