Message Board Post:
Tillman Carr is out of the Braxton County, (W)VA Carrs. His parents were John C and Ruth
Ann Rolyson Carr.
John C is the s/o Andrew Carr and Sarah Young
Andrew is s/o James P Carr and Rebecca Martin Boggs
James P Carr is s/o Isaac Carr.
Isaac Carr is from England.
Tillman makes things complicated as he and several of his line moved into the area where
many of the Carrs actually belong to the German line out of Hardy and Hampshire Co (W)VA.
Although not a monopoly on the area, more of the Carrs are from Henry (Gerig Heinrich
Karr) Carr than from Isaac.
There are also a few from the James Kerr group out of Augusta Co, VA, who sprinkle through
with the name spelled CARR. Some of the Germans are in the records as KERR too. It
depended on the person making the record of the ancestor. Many more were aware of the
CARR spelling than others.
