This family is found with the spelling of Karr - Carr - Kerr-VanderKarr. Finding this
information was helped and based on my cousin's web page and the hints she posted
under Lewis C Burr.
**1863 Apr 19 letter from L.C. Burr, Wolcott to J.H. Burr (original: Grace
Powell)"Martha here today, disappointed because Stephen didn't write. John Carr
(Cordelia's brother?) was here today, tells George they are as well as could be
expected."

If anyone out there has any input I would appriciate it. Due to most of this is based on
supposition. There are no documented proofs.
