Hi Clairice,
I was delighted to get your email regarding the Carr's. I have been
researching the Carr's for about 20 years and I am still learning about them. I
have seen very little online about this family, so your post was exciting.
I do have some comments about your post and also some additional info.
First I will take your post and comment:
"Do you have any information about your Thomas' brother William (G or C)
who married Tabitha Collins?" I would like to know your source for Collins.
I have info on both Thomas and William. I have never seen the "G" or
"C"
used as William's middle initial. Yes he was married to Tabitha, however,
her last name seems to be Hodges rather than Collins. I am basing this on
the fact that James Hodges sold land to William Carr before he, James, moved
to S. C. James' will is filed there. In his will he names Tabby with a
small inheritance. At a later time there is this reference to a court order:
1778 - 1800 HxCoP18/485 William Carr is listed as the Plaintiff against
Wm Glass and Sarah Hodges his wife, Robert Shaw and Patsey Hodges his
wife, Hailey Shaw and Rebecca Hodges his wife, Jesse Hodges, Joseph Hodges,
Chainey Hodges and James Hodges. The sheriff of Pittsylvania Co. is commanded
to bring in Jesse Hodges to answer the complainants bill. None of the
defendants are residents of Halifax Co. The complaint (I believe) is that
Tabitha (Tabby) Hodges, William Carr's wife is being protected by her husband
in the case of James Hodges will. The complaint is against her brothers
and sisters.
"You say that Silas Addison Clinton Carr is the son of William and
Tabitha." William and Tabitha did have a son named Silas. I have him listed only
as Silas. There is a deed where William sells his son Silas a Saw and
Griss Mill. I think that the "Silas Addison Clinton Carr" may have come in a
later generation. I have a Silas Addison Carr son of Dewitt Clinton and
Alcey Jane Wooley, who was b. 16 July 1870 in Galena Mo. d. 27 Mar. 1945 in Mo
and buried in the Carney Cemetery, MO. The Census of 1860 shows Dewitt
living with his family in MO.
"You say that Thomas' daughter Elizabeth married a Austin Martin and their
daughter Nancy Martha Martin married Silas Austin Martin signed the
marriage contract for his daughter Nancy and Silas Carr to be married.
HxCoMB1/96. Yes, Silas married the Nancy Martha Martin,daughter of his cousin
Elizabeth.
I have the following dates that might or might not help:

children: Jane b. 1780, Thomas B. b. 1783, Mary b. 1790, William H. b. 1794,
