Sarah Jane Carr (1863-1950) aka Sadie Carr; Immigrant from Ireland to USA circa 1885 and Indentured Maid with her sister and cousin in a Rooming House in New York City, possibly in Brooklyn (b. November 18, 1863, Coalpite, Athleague, Killeroran, County Galway/Roscommon, Ireland - d. January 28, 1950, 61 Clendenny Avenue, Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, 07304-1503, USA) Sarah was born in Coalpits township, adjacent to Hollygrove township in Athleague parish, Killeroran district on the border of County Galway and County Roscommon in Ireland to Thomas Carr (c1840-bef1901) and Bridget Conboy (c1840-aft1901). Her siblings include: James Carr I (1865-aft1950) who emigrated to the US and operated a speakeasy and after prohibition operated a taxi; Katherine (Kitty) Carr (1865-1952) who emigrated to the US as an indentured maid and married James Joseph Kennedy (1866-1926); Andrew Carr (c1870-?) who may have emigrated to Australia from Ireland; Mary Carr (1873-?) who never mar!
ried and remained in Ireland; and Thomas Carr II (1876-?) who married Mary Kelly and remained in Ireland on the family property until his death. Sarah came to the United States around 1885 with her sister and her brother, James Carr. Sarah also had a cousin that came over as an indentured maid, Margaret (Maggie) Agnes Conboy (1866-1951) who married Owen McLaughlin (1863-1931). Sarah, and her sister Katherine, and her cousin Margaret 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. The exact place in Brooklyn where they worked has not been identified. Sarah married Patrick J. Norton (1856-1905) on April 13, 1890 at Saint Paul's Roman Catholic Church at 14 Greenville Avenue in Jersey City. Pat was the son of Michael Norton (c1830-?) and Bridget Mulligan (c1830-?). The wedding was attended by John Norton (1861-1905), Patrick’s brother and some of the H!
ogans that were Sarah's cousins. Sarah and Patrick had five children w
ith three living to adulthood: Thomas Patrick Norton I (1891-1968) who married Mary (May) Margaret Burke (1890-1949); James Joseph Norton I (1892-1961) who married Helen (Eenie) Marie Maher (1895-1974); Katherine (Kate) Norton (1894-1942) who married James Patrick Langan I (1889-1975); Sarah Francis Norton (1896) who died as an infant; and Mary Norton (1898) who died as an infant. Sarah's husband Patrick worked as a laborer on the railroad, but both Patrick, and his brother John Norton died in 1905 at a relatively young age. Patrick may also have had a third brother, Matthew Norton, that was the witness to his wedding to Sarah. Sarah somehow received a large sum of money after Patrick’s death. The source of the money is not clear, but she used it to buy two newly-constructed two-family houses in the Horseshoe, or Irish section of Jersey City around 1910. She lived in one unit and had family members living in some of the other units. Sarah Jane Carr died on January 28!
, 1950 at age 84. Her obituary was published on January 31, 1950 in the Jersey Journal and it reads as follows: "Mrs. Sarah Norton (nee Carr) died on Saturday in her home at 61 Clendenny Avenue. Mrs. Norton, a native of Ireland, resided in the Horseshoe section for 30 years before moving to the Clendenny Avenue address 30 years ago. She was a communicant of Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic Church; a member of the Rosary Society; Greenville Council, Catholic Daughters of America, and St. Alicia Council, C.W.B.L. Surviving are two sons, Thomas and James; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren." A second obituary on the same day reads: "[Sarah Norton died] suddenly on Saturday, January 28, 1950 at the residence, 61 Clendenny Avenue, Sarah Jane Norton (nee Carr), beloved wife of the late Patrick J. Norton, and the late Katherine Langan; loving sister of Mrs. Katherine Kennedy and James Carr; also survived by six grandchildren. Relatives and friends, also Catholic Da!
ughters of America. Greenville Council, No. 450; St. Alicia Council, N
o. 58, C.W.B.L., Rosary Society of Our Ladies of Victories Church, are invited to attend the funeral on Wednesday, February 1st, at 9 a.m., from the Funeral Home of Richmond F. Routh, 206 Old Bergen Road. Solemn mass of requiem at Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic Church at 10 a.m. Members of our Our Lady of Victories Rosary Society are asked to meet at Richmond F. Routh, 206 Old Bergen Road, tonight 8:15 p.m. to offer prayers for Sara Norton, a former member." Sara was known for her colorful family stories that may have had no basis in fact. She said that when she came to the US everyone was wearing black armbands, and somehow the story was transformed by her grandchildren that she came over when the president was shot. She also said she was from County Cork, but she was from Hollygrove and Coalpits on the Galway/Roscommon border. She also told people that her husband, Patrick died from yellow fever during the Spanish-American War, where he was a farrier, and that the mo!
ney she received to buy her 2 two-family houses was from his insurance. Sara Carr had traveled back to Hollygrove and Coalpits at least once with her sister Katherine. Ann Elizabeth O'Malley (1933- ) writes: "On September 28, 1982 Fred and I drove to Roscommon in search of [the birthplace of Katherine (Kitty) Carr (1865-1952)]. We asked the first elderly man we saw if he had ever met Thomas Carr. He said if it is the Thomas Carr who married Mary Kelly then he had. That was our lucky day. He directed us to the Holly Grove/Coal Pits area. We stopped in front of a two story granite house and asked a middle aged man if he knew whether this was the former residence of Thomas and Mary Carr. As luck would have it, once again he said that it was not, but that he owned the old Thomas Carr estate. His name was Mr. McCann and he said that the property had been divided and the Rourkes had built a house on a portion of the original property. The neighbor also said that Mary loved childr!
en and often gave them sweets. The front door was boarded up so we cli
mbed through a back window into the kitchen which still had only a mud floor. At the front entry hall there was a staircase straight ahead and a hallway to the left of the staircase leading to the kitchen. There were two large rooms, one on each side of the entry hall both with interesting fireplaces. A stairway with nicely carved banisters, still intact, led to the second floor. The second floor like the first consisted of two large rooms, both with a fireplace. To the left of the house was a stone shed. There was also a spring on the property and someone said that many years ago it was used as a community spring. It was a great thrill to see the house where my grandmother was born and grew up. If only the cows had not roamed through it and destroyed the floors it would still be a picturesque house on a hill. After dinner that evening we went to a general store in Athleague and mentioned that my grandmother, Catherine Carr, was born in Coal Pits."

James Carr (1874-c1950) aka Jimmy Carr; Emigrated to USA after 1901; Bartender and Taxi Driver in New York (b. 1874, Hollygrove, Athleague, Killeroran, County Galway, Ireland - d. circa 1950, Bronx or Brooklyn, New York, New York City, New York, USA) Son of Thomas Carr (c1840-before1901) and Bridget Conboy (c1840-c1905) of Killeroran, Ireland. James had the following siblings: Sarah (Sadie) Jane Carr (1866-1950) who emigrated to the US and married Patrick J. Norton (1856-1905); Katherine (Kitty) Carr (1865-1952) who emigrated to the US and married James Joseph Kennedy (1870-1926); Thomas Carr II (1876-?) who stayed in Coalpits in Ireland and married Mary Kelly; Mary Carr (1873-?) who stayed in Coalpits in Ireland; and Andrew Carr who may have emigrated to Australia. James appears in the 1901 Census still living in Ireland. He emigrated to New York later than the others and that would explain his thick Irish accent. Christopher Aloysius Enright II (1927- ) says: "We called hi!
m uncle Jimmy. He had a saloon in the Bronx and later drove a taxi. He never moved to New Jersey." Anne Elizabeth O'Malley (1933- ) says: "James Carr visited us once during World War II, Katherine Carr Kennedy wasn't thrilled that he was visiting. This was on 77nd Street in New York. She never mentioned our uncle Jimmy again. He didnt look very prosperous." Thomas Patrick Norton II (1920- ) says: "Uncle Jimmy was a pleasant little guy. He was very succesful running a speakeasy in New York. After prohibiton was repealed he went out of business. He had a strong Irish brogue. He used to give out $5 gold pieces that were smaller than a dime. He gave one to each child. Giving out the coins was his trademark whenever we saw him. My dad would take away the coins and say "i'll take care of them for you", and I would never see them again. Jimmy was a thin wispy guy who looked like Barry Fitzgerald, the actor. He probably took the tube train into Jersey City, from New York where he l!
ived. He never had a car. The train was eight cents to get into New Yo
rk City from Jersey City. My grandmother, Nana, was very proud of him, he was very enterprising at his illegal saloon." Ann Elizabeth O'Malley (1933- ) writes: "On September 28, 1982 Fred and I drove to Roscommon in search of [the birthplace of Katherine (Kitty) Carr (1865-1952)]. We asked the postmaster for directions to Holly Grove or Coal Pits. Before leaving the U.S., I spoke to Joe Kennedy, Catherine Carr’s son, who suggested that we speak to Postmaster Flannigan in Roscommon. Unfortunately he had been transferred to another office. In Athleague, the closest town of any size to Coal Pits, we asked the first elderly man we saw if he had ever met Thomas Carr. He said if it is the Thomas Carr who married Mary Kelly then he had. That was our lucky day. He directed us to the Holly Grove/Coal Pits area. We stopped in front of a two story granite house and asked a middle aged man if he knew whether this was the former residence of Thomas and Mary Carr. As luck would h!
ave it, once again he said that it was not, but that he owned the old Thomas Carr estate. His name was Mr. McCann and he said that the property had been divided and the Rourkes had built a house on a portion of the original property. He stated further that the house was in bad condition because no one was living in it and that cows had roamed through it. He also said that the house was hard to spot because it was very far back from the road. Mr. McCann also said that his mother would love to talk with us but unfortunately we could not find her house. We drove back and forth several times and finally saw an elderly woman who had known Tom and Mary. She said that they frequently cycled into Athleague. The neighbor also said that Mary loved children and often gave them sweets. We turned the car around and spotted the house high on the hill. It is hard to say how much property was originally with the house. It might be as little as twenty acres or more than one hundred. It woul!
d have been an interesting question to ask Mr. McCann. At the entrance
to the property there were two stone posts. We walked approximately 600 feet straight ahead and then turned to the left and continued up a slight grade approximately 200 feet. It was a stone house with a door framed in an interlacing pattern of diamonds and ovals. There were quoins on the two front corners of the house. The front door was boarded up so we climbed through a back window into the kitchen which still had only a mud floor. At the front entry hall there was a staircase straight ahead and a hallway to the left of the staircase leading to the kitchen. There were two large rooms, one on each side of the entry hall both with interesting fireplaces. A stairway with nicely carved banisters, still intact, led to the second floor. The second floor like the first consisted of two large rooms, both with a fireplace. To the left of the house was a stone shed. There was also a spring on the property and someone said that many years ago it was used as a community spring. It w!
as a great thrill to see the house where my grandmother was born and grew up. If only the cows had not roamed through it and destroyed the floors it would still be a picturesque house on a hill. After dinner that evening we went to a general store in Athleague and mentioned that my grandmother, Catherine Carr, was born in Coal Pits. They said that Mary Kelly’s sister, Mrs. Haughey, was still alive and lived in Athleague right next to the church. We also learned that there were Carrs in neighboring Fuerty Parish. We went to see Mrs. Haughey the next day and her son came to the door and said that his mother was very low. He asked if we could come back later. Unfortunately our schedule was tight and we reluctantly headed for Donegal." James Carr is most likely buried in the Bronx, New York or Hudson County, New Jersey.

I am searching for a death place and date for Clayborn/Claiborne/Claiborn P. CARR. The last place I find him is on the 1920 census living in Ottawa County, Commerce Township. Clayborn was b. Sept. 1862 in Texas County, Missouri, his parents are Samuel Monroe and Elizabeth (BARNES) CARR. Clayborn md. Ida May BURLESON Dec. 17, 1885 in Texas County, Missouri. I find them on the 1900 census report in Creek Nation (Wagoner Co.,) Indian Territory/Oklahoma, I have not had any luck finding them on the 1910 census report. On the 1920 census report Clayborn and Ida CARR are living in Ottawa Co., OK. On the 1930 census I find Ida M. CARR living in San Diego County, California and widowed, so I am not sure if Clayborn died in Oklahoma or in California. So far I have found that three of their nine children died in San Diego County, CA, and one child died in Los Angeles Co., CA. Any help with finding Clayborn P. CARR's death place and date would be greatly appreciated.
