David J. Barr b June 1862 appears to be the son of David J. and Bridget (Connell) Barr. In turn, David Barr, the father, appears to be the son of Robert and Margaret Barr. This is based on the following information:
1900 Federal census, Providence RI
David J. Barr, Jun 1862 RI, blacksmith, parents b Ire
wf. Jennie E., Jan 1864 CT, parents b Ire
dau. Mary E., b Jan 1884 RI
dau. Josephine b Mar 1885
dau. Jennie b Mar 1886
dau. Margaret b Feb 1889
son David J. b Oct 1889
son Frank b Jun 1891
dau. Madeline b Jan 1893
dau. Ada b Apr 1895
brother Edward T. b Nov 1883

Edward Barr was b Providence RI 10 Nov 1883, son of David J. and Bridget Barr (V10:12:247)

1880 census Providence RI (23 High St)
David J. Barr, 47, b Ire, blacksmith
wf. Bridget, 46, b Ire
son David, 18
son James, 8
son Joseph, 6
son William, 4
son Samuel, 7m, b Nov 1879
mother Margaret, b Ire, 67, widow

1870 census Providence RI
David Barr, 32, b Ire, blacksmith
wf. Bridget, 32
son David, 8
son Charles J., 3
son William, 1

I found the following records in the online Birth, Death and Marriage Indexes for Providence at newenglandancestors.org:

marriage of David J. Barr and Jennie E. Langdon 29 Mar 1884 (V6:14:29

birth of Edward Barr, son of David J. and Bridget 10 Nov 1883 (V10:12:247)

marriage of David J. Barr and Bridget Connell 2 Jan 1861

death of Bridget Barr, wf of David J., age 51, 4 Sep 1890 (V8:18:3)

death of David J. Barr, of Robert and Margaret, age 58, 3 Apr 1894 (V13:17:172)

death of David J. Barr, of David J. and Bridget, age 57, 6 Feb 1922 (V21:27:456)

death of Jennie E. Barr, widow of David J., age 62, 6 Apr 1926 (V21:29:262)

death of Margaret Barr, widow of Robert, age 77, 30 May 1900

Obtaining copies of the marriage and death records of David Barr Jr. and Sr. and their wives, as well as the death record for Margaret Barr would document this information. They records may also provide clues as to the families origins in Ireland.
