Here is what I have so far. Will take a deeper look later today.

William Barr 1837 - 1859 New York City:
Located at 106 Beekman Street until he was succeeded in 1851 by J & R Barr and then in 1852 by W & R Barr.

There appear to be several Barr's operating in New York City about this time. Possible family of gunsmiths?
