I have quite a few CARRs from Bradford & Susquehanna counties but no Cornelius. Have been unable to find ancestry of my "first" CARR, Ezekiel b. 1812 Bradford County PA. He seems to have come from outer space!!!

Sarah Jane Carr (1866-1951) was born in Killeroran, Ireland on the Galway/Roscommon border on November 18th. I think her father was Thomas Carr and her mother was Bridget Conboy. She had a sister, Katherine Carr that came with her to the United States. There was also a cousin that came over, Mary Agnes Conboy, who married a McLaughlin. She immigrated in 1885. Sarah, her sister Katherine and he cousin Mary were indentured servants, their passage to the US was paid by the rooming house in Brooklyn that they worked in, and they had to work for 5 years to pay off that debt. Sarah married Patrick J. Norton on April 13, 1890 and the wedding was attended by John Norton, Patrick’s brother and some of the Hogans that were her cousins. They had five children, but only three lived to adulthood, Thomas Patrick Norton (1891-1968), James Joseph Norton I, and Katherine Mary Norton. Patrick worked as a laborer on the railroad, but both Patrick and John died in 1905 at just around 40!
years of age. John died of tuberculosis. There may also have been a brother, Matthew Norton that was the witness to the marriage of Pat and Sarah. Sarah somehow received a large sum of money after Patrick’s death. The source of the money is not clear and she used it to buy two newly constructed two family houses in the Horseshoe, or Irish section of Jersey City. She lived in one unit and had family members living in some of the other units. Her sister married James Joseph Kennedy and they lived in the Bronx. Thomas Patrick Norton, her first born married Mary Margerite Burke, a schoolteacher and he worked on the Lackawanna Railroad in Hoboken. He had the highest blue collar job at the railroad, he was the stationmaster. He worked 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. James Joseph Norton held a series of jobs but never had a career. He married Helen Maher, also a schoolteacher. Katherine Mary Norton, another schoolteacher married a Langan. Sarah Jane Carr died on January 28,!
1950 at age 84. She had travelled back to Killeroran more than one time. She is buried in Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City. Sara was know for her tall stories which have no bearing with the family documanted history. She said that when she came to the US everyone was wearing black armbands, and somehow the story transformed by her grandchildren as her coming over when the president was shot. She said she was from Cork, but was from the Galway/Roscommon border. She also told people that Patrick died from yellow fever during the Spanish-American War and that the money she received was his insurance. She also said that Pat was a farrier in Cuba during the war.

Ex-Cop Claims Father Was 'Black Dahlia'
.c The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A retired homicide detective says his physician father
committed the notorious ``Black Dahlia'' murder, which has been unsolved for
half a century.
In a new book, Steve Hodel says he believes the late Dr. George Hodel was a
serial killer who may have committed 20 unsolved murders in the 1940s and
1950s.
``I'm asking the press and the detectives to now take up that responsibility
and reopen the murder books and continue the investigations so that all of us
may know the truth,'' Hodel told a press conference Friday.
In ``Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story,'' the former Los Angeles police
detective states that his father killed 22-year-old aspiring actress
Elizabeth Short in a fit of jealousy. Acquaintances nicknamed Short the
``Black Dahlia'' because of her black clothing and the flower she wore in her
hair.
Her body, severed at the waist and nearly drained of blood, was found in a
vacant lot in 1947. Authorities said her face and body had been slashed,
apparently while she was alive.
Many authors have claimed to have discovered Short's killer. The Los Angeles
County district attorney's office noted that even if Hodel's claims are true,
his father's 1999 death leaves no one to prosecute.
Steve Hodel said he began investigating his father after his death, when he
found in George Hodel's belongings two photographs of a woman who he believes
is Short.
However, Detective Brian Carr, who oversees the files of the case, said he
was unable to determine whether the photographs were of Short.
Hodel also alleged similarities in notes written by his father and one the
killer supposedly sent to a newspaper after the murder.
