You are in some luck. The Nebraska Genweb Project (part of USGenWeb) is a very active group. The county coordinators are very helpful and will go do look-ups for you provided they live in the county. If they don't, they can often get someone in the county to do a look-up.
I found the following right away on the 1880 census at that site:

Robert CARR, mentioned in the previous message, died April 3, 2001, taking with him any knowledge of his parents or grandparents. I now know his mother's name; Mary E. (BLODGETT) CARR, daughter of Cornelius and Susanna (HOOLEY) BLODGETT. All I have been able to find on William Thomas Carr's parents is his father's name - David. I have also discovered William may have been born in Litchfield, in Sherman County, Nebraska. His DOB according to the SSDI is 10/31/1879, and one of these days I well get around to requesting a death certificate from the State of Nebraska. Hopefully this will help me find a connection to other researchers.

Listing below from: http://home.earthlink.net/~herblst/carr_family.htm
Generation No. 3
3. WILLIAM3 CARR (ROBERT2, THOMAS1)3 was born June 17, 1597 in London, England, and died June 04, 1672 in Bristol, Rhode Island. He married SUSAN ROTHCHILD4 May 16, 1619 in London, England. She was born April 30, 1598 in Devonshire, England, and died May 03, 1671 in Bristol, RI.
Notes for WILLIAM CARR: They came to America in the fall of 1621, in the ship Fortune, Capt. Roger Williams, with thirty-five passengers on board. They landed at Plymouth, Nov. 7, 1621. They stayed the following winter in Plymouth, and on June 1, 1622, they started in a south-westerly direction through the trackless wilderness with an Indian for a guide, and after a journey on foot of forty-eight days, they located a home, July 18, 1622, where the town of Bristol, R. I., was afterward built. The town was laid out and named in 1636, by Roger Williams. William Carr died in Bristol, June 4, 1672, and his wife Susan died in the same place, May 3, 1671.
Notes for SUSAN ROTHCHILD: There is an old bible which has come down to the present generation in the line of William Carr, which is a rare old treasure. It was printed in London in 1585. On the first blank page of this ancient book, is written in a woman's hand the following valuable record: "My maiden name was Susan Rothchild. I was born in Devonshire, Eng., in the year of our Lord, A. D. 1598, April 30. I married William Carr, of London, May 16, 1619. He was born in 1597, June 17. Husband says he had a brother George Carr, who went to America in 1620. My husband has a brother Benjamin Carr, he was born Aug. 18, 1592. I am acquainted with him and his family. He has four sons, Robert Carr, born Oct. 4, 1614; Caleb Carr, born Dec. 9, 1616; Richard Carr, born Jan. 5, 1621; Andrew Carr, born Dec. 5, 1622. My son George Carr was born March 12, 1620. My husband had a brother James Carr. He ran away to sea when a boy and we never heard from him."
The following extract of historical interest, is taken from Mrs. William Carr's diary which is still preserved with the records of the family:
"It was a summer day in 1621, as I stood upon our ship's deck beside my husband with my infant son closely folded to my breast, while our noble captain, Roger Williams, stood by our side. I took a last view forever of my native isle, and forever bid it adieu, and all the scenes of my childhood home. My heart ached while bitter tears blinded my eyes. Never shall I forget the scenes of that day, as we took a last farewell of our friends with many promises that they would soon join us in America."
"Then the order was given by our captain to cast off our moorings, and our ship stood out in the Thames. After all sails were spread we took our course down the river. Each spot along its banks was dear to my soul, and while I was sad, the passengers, there being thirty-five, were singing and making merry that they were going to America. I could not join them for my heart was very sad."
"We had a pleasant sail down the Thames. Still I gazed upon my native isle with tearful eyes, and watched it when far out at sea, until the last receeding mountain vanished from my view. Our voyage was very pleasant for twenty days out to sea, and then we encountered a storm which lasted all the afternoon and following night. The weather was pleasant the rest of the way, and on the 6th day of November, 1621, the anchor was cast at dark some way out at sea for fear of unseen rocks."
"Next morning the boats were lowered and we landed, but what was my surprise! Lucinda, George Carr's wife, had died early in the spring before. My husband and George his brother and myself went to view her resting place. There with tearful eyes I viewed the last resting place of poor Lucinda Devenport, whom I had known in England. She had died in a foreign land of privation and cold, and was buried side by side with many others who had shared the same fate. My heart sank within me to think that I should never see Lucinda again. I had anticipated many happy hours with her, but my youthful hopes were forever blasted."
"We lived with brother George through the winter, living mostly on what game we caught. It was a cold, tedious winter with deep snow. Game was plenty such as deer and moose."
"On June 1, 1622, husband started south-west for a warmer climate, with a pocket compass and an Indian guide. Brother George went a two days' journey with us, and then returned home. I carried my son George in my arms and on my back through a dense forest settled only with wild beasts and Indians, but we met with few of the former and none of the latter. After being forty-eight days on our journey, July 18, husband concluded to stop and build a log cabin and to settle for life. In four days, husband, the Indian and myself, finished our log cabin, covering it with poles and peeled bark. My journey through the forest and the hard labor I had done in helping build our cabin, had its effect on me, I felt nearly worn out."
"I had left my rich parents and my only brother Robert in England, and had faced the storms and perils of the ocean with my noble companion, and had traveled with him fortyeight days through the forest. To my companion I had given my early love and pledged my hand for life. He was ever kind to me. We both belonged to the society of Friends."
"Before leaving England, father gave me œ100 in gold coin, my brother gave me two doubloons in gold. This gold coin I sewed into the wadding of my petticoat. Mother gave me her gold diamond ring which cost œ16. She took her gold watch from her pocket and gave it to me. It cost œ25. She also gave me her gold locket and the gold chain that she wore with her watch, and bade me keep them to remember her by. The locket cost œ10, and I lost it in my journey through the wilderness in coming here, but it was found by an Indian hunter in 1625, and returned to me. I had many happy days hunting deer with husband, as there was plenty of them in the forest, but I often thought of home and the dear ones there.
"Mr. William Codle joined us in 1628, with his wife, son and daughter from England. They belonged to the society of Friends."
"In 1635, Robert and Caleb Carr, husband's brother Benjamin Carr's two sons, were sent over from London to live with their uncle William, my husband. We had fine times hunting with the Indians, they were very friendly to us. Our bedding and clothing were nearly all skins and furs like the Indians, but in all these years I was mindful to educate my son George, although we were in a nameless wilderness."
"In 1636 Capt. Roger Williams, who had abandoned the sea, moved from Salem, bringing with him a colony of Friends, and settled with us, and set up a school free for all, young and old. The same year he bounded the state and called it Rhode Island, and named our place Bristol. He also surveyed and laid out towns and gave them names."
"A meeting was held at our cabin and we offered up our humble thanks to God, that we had met on this side of the ocean in a free land, beyond the persecution of Great Britain. How my heart thanked God that our noble captain who brought us safely across the ocean, had come to live with us, and preach and teach us to love God and to keep his commandments."

Notes for GEORGE CARR: He married Lucinda Devenport and came to America in 1620, on the Mayflower, as the ship's carpenter, bringing his young wife with him. He located with the pilgrims at Plymouth, and his wife was one of the unfortunate forty-one who died the following winter and early spring. A few years later he settled in Ipswich, and from there removed with the first settler of Cloechester, (Salisbury) Mass. He was granted an island in the Merrimac river for a home and the purposes of a shipyard, and it was called Carr's Island. The action of the town in relation to the grant of the island was as follows: "At a general meeting of the freemen of the town of Colechester, the 3rd day of the 5th month, 1640, it was ordered yt (that) George Carr shall have the island where he now dwells, as well as the marsh and upland, it being the greatest island within the town limits, in the Merrimack river, to him and to his heirs and assigns forever." Oct. 7, 1640, it was ordered by !
the General Court that "Colechester is henceforth to be called Salisbury."
The island was the home of the Carrs for a number of generations, and the possession of this island gave the family the monopoly of the ferrying business across the river in ye olden times. This ferry at George Carr's death was considered to be worth œ400. Two of the family were drowned while attending the ferry. The large house on Carr's Island was destroyed by fire, May 9, 1797.

I am a Guynes researcher and Daniel is an extended part of our family tree. Daniel Carr was a very wealthy man .
It is our understanding that he had a freight business or joined in with the Guynes. Who knows who started it but we believe they worked together as there were some Guynes men who wer freighters.
Anyone who knows anything about this family please contact me on this forum.
Thank you all and Good Hunting,

I don't remember the Edson Carr book saying that George was on the Mayflower. It did say that George and his 2 brothers came to America and settled in Rhode Island. One of them became the Royal Governor.
Mayflower??

Concerning the controversy about whether or not George Carr was on the Mayflower and came to Plymouth in 1620:
The Edson I. Carr book, published in 1894, quotes supposedly from a diary and bible entry of George's sister-in-law, Susan Rothchild (Mrs. William Carr) and states that George went to America in 1620 and his first wife, Lucinda Davenport died in the Americas in the early spring before 1621. It has been speculated that George, who was a carpenter and shipwright, was a carpenter on the Mayflower. Mayflower "experts" continually claim this is not true as PASSENGER lists do not show a George Carr.
However, a 1997 entry at the Plimoth Plantation website at
http://www.plimoth.org/Library/mayflcre.htm
states when discussing the Mayflower:
"Several other crew members were mentioned in the records, although their names were not given. They were:
the carpenter,
the boatswain,
the gunner,
three quartermasters and
the cook,
as well as a number of common seamen. Some, including the master and one of the mates, had been involved with whaling prior to the 1620 voyage, and at least one had been to Newfoundland. About half of the crew died during the winter of 1620/1.
Carolyn Freeman Travers,
Plimoth Plantation, 1997"
Thus, although the lack of specific names will not get you into The Mayflower Society as a descendent of a Mayflower PASSENGER, it is still possible that George Carr, and don't forget his wife also by the above mentioned book's account, were on the Mayflower.
I am curious, however, if it would have been common or even possible in those days to have a wife along on such a trip???
