Mary Carr, wife of Elisha Thornhill was the daughter of Isham Carr and Susan. Isham Carr
died in Feliciana Parish, LA prior to 1815. The widow Susan Carr then married Peter
Sandifer in 1815.
Isham and Susan Carr had two other children besides, Mary (b. 1801 who married Elisha
Thornhill) and they were Elizabeth (b. abt. 1804) and William (b. abt 1803). They were
born in Barnwell County, SC.
Elizabeth married an unknown Thornhill (probably of Magee's Creek, Pike County, MS)
and they had one child before Unknown Thornhill died (prior to 1840). They had children
Polly A. Thornhill, Aly Thornhill, Wyatt Thornhill and daughter Thornhill.
Widown Elizabeth Carr Thornhill then married Also Boutwell about 1845.
Does anyone know the name of the Thornhill who was first husband of Elizabeth Carr?
------
Isham Carr arrived in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana in July of 1810 (Per American State
Papers) so he and his family were residents of the short-lived Independant Nation of West
Florida.
