NOTES: (Found online - Ancetry.com)
Hi:
Yes I've also read "The Lost Colony of the Confederacy". We have it locally at Portland State University - so, I have easy access to it.
Here's the rest of what I know about William Barr:
My ancestor, James Daniel, Sr. who attempted to immigrate to Brazil after the Civil War had a daugther named Nancy Daniel.William Barr married Nancy Daniel on 2 Feb 1862 in Monroe Co., AL.
James Daniel didn't turn all his gold into confederacy currency.He hide his gold will, withstanding several yankee raids.At the end of the war James Daniel had enough money to pay his post-war taxes on his land and sell it to Thomas Barr for $12,000.
James Daniel chartered his own ship to make the voyage to Brazil.They tried once - but, returned to Mobile because of a small pox outbrake on board ship.They tried again in several months - this time James Daniel's saw his wife Lydia and daughter Nancy and many of his grandchildren die of smallpox.Lydia and Elizabeth Newman were the children of William and Nancy Barr - who died on this voyage.This is the Newpaper article regarding their voyage.

The steamer Margaret, after long detention by the illness of her captain and other unavoidable hindrances, is to sail today for the city of Para, Brazil, with a full freight and thirty-two passengers. This is the second detachment of Major Hasting's Colony. The first, it will be remembered, was wrecked some weeks ago, on the coast of Cuba, in the Schooner Neptune. Both these colonies have been made up chiefly in Alabama.
We are not acquainted with the colonist who accompany Major Hastings but are informed that they are substantial, respectable citizens of Alabama and the adjacent states.
The following is a list of the passengers for Para by the steamer Margaret, which cleared yesterday:

After the death of Nancy - William married her sister Lydia Daniel.
I believe that the second ship had damage due to a storm and went to NYC. James Daniel, Sr is buried there (he'd be rolling over - the hometown of the Carpetbaggers) in NYC and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
What was left of the family continued on to Brazil - all that survived returned to the States over time. I was told that some of the men had war crimes and had to remain out of the country until they were pardoned.
And, I am in communication with descendants of the Confederados who still live in Brazil via e-mail. (It made me very happy to find them)

....Mr. William Burr of Alabama came to Brazil in July 1866. He bought one-fourth interest in Sitio, purchased by Messrs. Daniels & Hall, for which he paid $5,000, containing 300 0r 400 acres, almost entirely terra roclus. Mr. Burr has made two crops of cotton and corn; 13 acres of cotton the present year, which were planted very late, and therefore made but 7 bales. He raised sufficient corn for his own use. Mr. Burr's plantation is finely located.....

In 1850 Benjamin and Mary Eliszabeth were living in the household of her father, James J. Daniel Sr.
In March of 1866 the Harrison family sailed with his in-laws, the Daniels on the "Margaret", part of the Hastings immigration colony to the Amazon region. The ship had a devestating smallpox outbreak on board, decimating the Daniel family. In the 1860 Federal census in Monroe county Alabama, there is a daughter by the name of Lydia. There is no mention of a daughter by the name of Nancy. Could they possibly be the same person? Nancy is listed on the manifest of the "Margaret". She apparently died young as their is no further mention of her. She could have been one of the casualties of the smallpox outbreak. The Harrisons apparently traveled back ti the United States after a short stay in Brazil and settled with other members of the Daniel family in Navarro County, Texas,

Col. Asa Thompson Oliver Sr.
1819–1873
BIRTH 14 NOV 1819 • Elbert County, Georgia, USA
DEATH 28 JUL 1873 • Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Son of Simeon Oliver Sr. and Mildred Terrell White
Asa Thompson Oliver, planter, was born on November 14, 1819,
in Elbert County, Georgia, the son of Simeon and Mildred Oliver.
He moved with his wife and children from Mississippi to Texas in
the mid-1850s. By 1858 he had acquired almost a half league of
prime farmland in the Hempstead area east of the Brazos River in
Austin County, now in Waller County.
That year his estate, which included seventy slaves, was valued at almost $48,000. By 1860 he had accumulated 105 slaves and held property worth $205,000, ranking him among the county's wealthiest residents. Following the outbreak of the Civil War in the spring of 1861, Oliver was chosen to help organize public defense as a member of the Central Executive Committee of Austin County. Like most large planters he was badly damaged by the Confederate defeat and emancipation; by mid-1865 his estate had plummeted in value to $25,000. In 1866 he and his wife and three children joined the postbellum emigration of former Confederates to Latin America; they settled in the colony of Santa Barbara D'Oeste in the Campinas district of São Paulo province, Brazil. There Oliver purchased an extensive plantation and a number of slaves and began cultivating his property.
Unfortunately, his wife, Beatrice, and daughter, Indiana, who had suffered chronic distress since the end of the war and remained debilitated during the voyage to Brazil, contracted tuberculosis. Beatrice succumbed to the disease on July 13, 1868. Since there were no non-Catholic cemeteries nearby, Oliver devoted a small corner of one of his fields to burials and interred his wife there. Indiana, age seventeen, died on April 19, 1869, of the disease and was buried near her mother. That same year Oliver's younger daughter, Mildred, fourteen, distraught over the deaths of her mother and sister and burdened with the care of her father and younger brother, also fell gravely ill; she died shortly before Christmas and was interred beside her loved ones. The family burial ground, known as the "Campo," became a significant Protestant cemetery for the American settlers of the vicinity. A. T. Oliver was buried beside his family after he was murdered by one of his slaves on July 28, 1873. Subsequent owners of the Oliver property erected a small chapel on the cemetery grounds.
Find A Grave:
Mrs. Drucilla D. Oliver married Walter Scott Jones on 11 July 1877 at Jacksboro, Texas. Marriage was officiated by John G. Shinn, First Christian minister at Jacksboro. Walter Scott Jones was in the union army and would have been compatible with the residents of Jack County since they did not secede from the Union during the Civil War. By 1880, Jones was a farmer and surveyor for the Texas & Pacific Railroad. After his wife's death, he moved away from Jack County.
Newspaper accounts show she moved to Jack County, Texas by 1875.
Mrs. Walter Scott Jones died at her home on College Street, Tuesday morning, January 29th, after an illness of many months. Her remains were interred in Oakwood cemetery Wednesday evening. Mrs. Jones had long been an exemplary member of the Baptist church and had resided in Jacksboro for a number of years and had many friends who sympathize with the bereaved family
.....
Find A Grave:
Son of Benjamin Franklin and Alice Monroe Jones, Walter grew up in Essex County and served in the Confederate Cavalry from King William County, Virginia from late 1861-1863. After the Civil War, he moved first to Arkansas and then to Jack County, Texas, marrying Drucilla Daniel Oliver, widow of Colonel(C.S.A) Asa Thompson Oliver in 1877. Drucilla had moved back to the United States from Brazil with three children in March of 1876 after the untimely demise of her first husband. Walter and Drucilla had two children of their own: Laura, born in 1879 and Annie, born in 1883. Walter became a step-father to Drucilla's two children by her first husband: Asa Thompson Oliver, Jr. and Catherine Meriwether Oliver, as well as to Zimri Shelton Oliver, Drucilla's step-son. Drucilla died in 1889. After that, Walter reared his two daughters until they married.

OBITUARY
LAURA NAN ELLIS CARROLL died May 1, 2005 in Methodist Hospital, Baytown, Texas. She was born March 22, 1918 to Laura Jones Ellis and John Lodge Ellis, at home, in Liberty, Texas. The last of 6 children, she is preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Harry Thomas (Sonny) Carroll; her 2 sisters, Annie Lee Newton and Dorothy Prevost; her 3 brothers, Frank Ellis, Jay Ellis, and John Ellis. She was a member of St. Stephens Episcopal Church. Laura Nan grew up in Liberty and graduated from Marshall College. She was a kind and gentle southern lady who loved nature and animals.

Rev. Junius Eastham Newman
1819–1895
BIRTH 16 OCT 1819 • Point Pleasant Mason, West Virginia. USA
DEATH 13 MAY 1895 • Robinson, Mason, West Virginia, USA
Junius E. Newman arrived in the port of Rio de Janeiro on August 5, 1867. 3 He was a member of the Alabama Conference, who being dissatisfied with conditions in the south after the Civil War, left along with other southerners to make a new home in Brazil. He did not go to Brazil as a missionary, but rather, in 1865, Bishop William May Wightman released Newman from duties in Mississippi and Alabama and appointed him to work without financial support "in Central America or Brazil."
Newman went to Brazil without his family, arriving with only one hundred dollars in his pocket. At first, he settled in Niteroi, near Rio de Janeiro. Apparently, he had wished to begin Methodist church services in his house, and perhaps to open a school, but was not able to do so. 4 After about six months, Newman's family joined him in Brazil, and approximately one year after his family's arrival, Newman relocated to Saltinho (1869), near Limeira in what was the Province of Sao Paulo. This was in an area where many other displaced southerners were settling, near the modern Brazilian city of Americana. There, Newman began to preach to the colonists twice a month, and by October 1869, he had written to the Mobile Conference, deploring his own inability to speak Portuguese well enough to preach in the language and urging the appointment of young missionaries who might become fluent enough in Portuguese to preach to the Brazilians.
By 1871 Newman was devoting much of his time to his ministry among the southern emigrants. In a letter written on April 28, 1871, Newman claimed that "I am now so situated that I can leave home to preach almost as much as I did when I was 'in the regular work. "'6 In that same letter, he requested to "be recognized as a missionary in Brazil," without "compensation as such ... [from] the Conference." And on the third Sunday of August 1871, he organized among the southern colonists the first Methodist church in Brazil.
At first, Newman's church included nine members, but gradually increased to "29 or 30."7 Soon, Newman had set up a circuit of five preaching stations and was preaching among the colonists full time. Newman continued to appeal to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South to send young ministers to help preach to the Brazilians. He also continued to request recognition of his own work among the southerners in Brazil, until, in May 1875, the Board of Missions "recognized the Rev. J. E. Newman, of Saltinho, District of Limeira, Province of San Paulo, as our missionary at that point. "
Newman remained active in his ministry to the colonists until his retirement in 1887 and his return to the United States in 1889. To our knowledge, Newman never fulfilled his ambition of preaching in Portuguese.
