This Francis Berry reportedly was born in Tennassee 15 Apr 1791, but I
have no proof, only the queries from the 1960's[2]. His wife, Phoebe Ann
Coons was born 3 May 1795 in Montgomery Co, Kty to John Coons and
Elizabeth Ellis. John Coons and Elizabeth Ellis's parents, William
Ellis and Agnes Brooks Carr were in Fayette/Montgomery Co, Kty in the
1790'sThey were from Spotsylvania and Culpeper Co, Va, respectively.
LAND RECORD: 26 August 1822---Slate Creek, Montgomery County, Kentucky [clerk's
copy of deed on file) John Berry, and his wife Polly Berry [Mary Polly Coons],
sold "an estimated 50 acres" to John Coons for 600 dollars. Polly Coons
relinqueshed her right of dower in this transaction. The land was a part of
the grant of 1000 acres made to William Ellis, deceased. [photocopy of LDS

Hello,
Does anyone know the e-mail add for Vince Sullivan? I believe that he is

Thanks

I am trying to find out more info on my family who resided in western NY.
They lived in Red House, then Salamanca. There will be a Carr reunion again
this year in Sardinia, NY on July 25. I cannot attend since I live in the
Dallas area. But I understand they have Carrs from all over every year. I
have been in contact with a cousin in Lockport who is working on the family
tree. He and his wife have done extensive traveling through New England
tracing our roots. They are in the process of compiling their information.
My line is descended through Robert Carr (brother to Caleb), with
connections to Daly, and Whalen. I do not know the entire line of descent.
>From what I can tell,
Daniel Carr had a son Steven born 1816 who married Elmira Fuller
They had two sons, Daniel and Howard
My gggrandfather was Howard married to Lily ?
My ggrandfather George Stephen was m. to Nora Cooke
My grandfather was Milton Raymond Carr m. R. Cleveland
Do you have any info on this branch of the family?
Thanks,
Patti in Grand Prairie, TX

What about the Germans who also spell the name KARR?
I just figured it may be a renegade Crusader from England or Ireland. I
understand that one of the younger sons of a Scottish Laird went to
Germany in the late 1400s.

Here are two obituaries I found. I am sorry I could not find the third one.
I looked through January and February of 1976 but could not find one for
Mabel Carr.
(APRIL 1951 EDITION OF LAKE MILLS GRAPHIC)
JOHN CARR DIES FOLLOWING ILLNESS; FORMER MARSHAL
Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at St. Patrick's Catholic Church
for John Carr, 77, who died at 11:30 p.m. Friday at his home. Father M. A.
Mullen was in charge. Mr. Carr had been in failing health for some time.
John Carr was born May 21, 1873, to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Carr. He was a
lifelong resident of Bristol township except for a few years he lived in
Lake Mills where he served as marshal and operated the Hawkeye Oil company,
now Home Oil Company.
Mr. Carr is survived by his wife, a son, George of Shabbona, IL, and five
grandchildren. A daughter, Mildred (Mrs. Ben Stene), died in 1924.
His is also survived by two brothers, William and Peter of Ralph, SD, and
two sisters, Mrs. Mary Sullivan of Minneapolis, MN, and Kathryn Carr of
Mason City, IA.
Among those attending the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. George
Carr and family of Shabbona, IL, Mr. and Mrs. William Carr of Ralph, SD,
Mrs. Mary Sullivan and family of Minneapolis, MN, and Kathryn Carr of Mason
City, IA.
Burial was in Sunnyside Cemetery.
(THIS WAS IN THE JUNE 1922 EDITION OF THE LAKE MILLS GRAPHIC, HOWEVER I
BELIEVE THE PAPER WAS MISPRINTED AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1923).
MRS. MARY CARR
An old and highly respected citizen passed to her eternal rest Wednesday
June 14 at Reeder, North Dakota.
Mrs. Carr had made her home for the last two years with her sons and
daughters at Reeder. The deceased was born in York State, December 12, 1852.
On June 17, 1872 she was united in marriage to Michael Carr. In after years
their home was adorned by six sons and three daughters, now known as Jack
Carr of Lake Mills; Will, Jim and Pete Carr and Mrs. Margaret Ledbetter all
of Reeder, North Dakota, Mrs. Mary Sullivan of Medelia, MN, and Katheryn
Carr of Lake Mills. One sister Mrs. Margaret Gilligan, one brother, Thomas
Jordan of Hillsboro, ND. The husband and father, two sons Thomas and Mike
passed to the Great Beyond some few years ago.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Yes and let
us hope that precious in the sight of God was the death of Mrs. Carr, who
soughter her crucified Redeemer in all her actions. To her mind the thoughts
of death were familiar, because she was prepared to meet her God, whom she
had served during her life in spirit and intruth. Mrs. Carr was turly a
Christian mother, who labored night and day to instill into the hearts of
her children the knowledge, fear and love of God. Let us pray that the
Almighty was satisfied with the sacrifice had compassion on her and open to
her the gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem, which received her and enveloped
her in robes of glory.
The funeral services were held at the Carr home in Bristol on Tuesday
morning, Father Flynn of Mason City officiating. The service contained
appropriate and beautiful remarks. The remains were entered in the Bristol
cemergy beside the late husband and was followed by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to
the bereaved ones.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. I WILL SEND THE HARD COPY IN THE SNAIL MAIL TO YOU
ALSO.

More information for those who don't already know:
For the English Carrs, the name means 'dweller by the marsh', from
the Middle English Kerr, Old Norse kjarr, meaning 'wet ground', but
if you ancestors moved to England from Scotland or Ireland and then
to America, or went directly to America from those lands,
it get's more interesting :)
The Carrs in Ulster are mostly of Irish or Scottish descent.
Carr is used as a synonym of the Scottish name Kerr in Ulster
and in Scotland itself. But most families of the name decend
from one of the Ulster septs who anglicised their names.
In Mayo and the counties next to it, Kerrane, in Gaelic
O' Cearain, was made Carr, as were, in Donegal, Kilcarr, MacElhar
and MacIlhair, themselves anglicisations of Mac Giolla Chathair,
'son of the devotee of St. Cathair'. In Co. Armagh the distinct
Oriel septs of O' Cairre and Mac Cairre were anglicised as Carry,
MacCarry and (O')Carr. The O'Cairr sept was particularly famous
in early medieval times when its chief was recorded in the Annals
of Loch Ce'as as 'steward of Cenel Aengusa and royal heir of
Oilech'. Many of the Carrs and Kerrs of Co. Monaghan were originally
Mac Giolla Cheara, 'son of the devotee of St. Ceara (of Killahear)'.

Hi Folks,
I am posting this letter that I composed this morning to a number of my
CARR cousins,
who are progeny of Robert Edmund (b.c.1852) and Jane (nee DORAN)
(b.c.1854) CARR. Both were natives of Strabane, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.
Robert was born and raised a Presbyterian and Jane, a Catholic.
If any of these names jive with any of the lists-subscribers out there,
I would be overjoyed to entertain any responses.

Subject: New Cathedral CARR graves
Dear Cousins,
Finally made it down to New Cathedral Cemetery (in Philadelphia, PA)
yesterday and got this report which I transcribed into .txt .
I can identify the 2 Roberts (father and son), the Jane (nee
DORAN)(mother) and the Agnes (nee CARR)(daughter).
The 2 Thomases, and the Peter are possibly sons.
Alice Dougherty COULD have been, based on her year of birth (c.1862), a
sister of Robert or Jane (nee DORAN). More likely Jane because Robert's
father, Robert, abandoned his wife and son, POSSIBLY BEFORE producing
another child. THIS is MY conjecture. I am willing consider any other
theories from you.
The BIG mystery is WHO is Mary A. CARR. She could possibly be Robert's
mother ( nee BROWNE )and our (to those in my CARR generation)
great-great-grandmother. Short of digging her up and running myocardial
DNA studies on her and her possible progeny (all of us), this could be
resolved by checking the baptismal records for c.1816-17 at the
HOPEFULLY
ONLY Presbyterian church in Strabane, Co. Tyrone (IF that church
practiced
infant baptism). I'll be heading out the LDS/FHC to order the film this
morning.
An argument against this possibility is religious. Robert's mother was a
lifelong Presbyterian with little incentive to convert to Catholicism
until
she arrived on this side of the pond. So there would be resistance to
burying her in a Catholic cemetery.
Enough of my theorizing.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ???
Slan and God Bless,

Hello again,
I have a little more information now on 2 relatives I'm researching.
I would like to know if anyone has information on a George Lemaric Carr,
who was born in Illinois ABT. 1859. He married Mary Ann Downey who was
also born in Illinois ABT. 1865. They lived in Wellington Kansas for
awhile. She was a housewife and he was an undertaker. They later moved
to Newkirk Oklahoma around 1890-1900. I believe they're both buried in
Ponca City, but not in Odd Fellows Cemetery as I had previously
believed. Any help that you can give as to when exactly they were born
and where, and when and where they died and were buried would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

do some checking on the 24th CT Volunteers Militia that actually served in
PA rather than CT. It seems records for the 24th CT do not exist or cannot
be found. I had thought perhaps my friend could find something for us via
the L of C on my Daniel CARR who was taken prisoner by the Indians in a
prelude to the Wyoming Massacre on 30 Jun 1778. This is the information I
got back:
By the way, regarding the 24th CT Volunteers, I did check the two books that
I mentioned. One book was about one particular officer and was not helpful.
The other, by Tubbs (actually a transcription of a speech he made in the
early 1900s), is a thorough 30-page-or-so history of the regiment with an
extensive bibliography of sources. But even he does not mention anyone by
name other than the officers (your Robert Carr was captain of the 9th or 'Up
River" company, which WAS NOT involved in the Wyoming Massacre because it
was too far away when hostilities broke out) and his extensive sources do
not include any reference to muster rolls and pay records for the 24th, even
though they do include references to muster rolls and pay records of other
regiments. Maybe these records just don't exist?
If you'd like a copy of this book I can get it for you.
Best,
Toby
