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 res!
idents 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:
William Carr b. 1752 d. bef. Sept 1833 married Tabitha. They had six children: Jane b.
1780, Thomas B. b. 1783, Mary b. 1790, William H. b. 1794, Silas b. 1801 and Sarah b.
1821.
Silas (son of William and Tabitha) b. 17 Jan 1801, d. 13 May 1863 married 1st Nancy Martin
b. 2 Mar 1801, d. Abt 1836. They had 8 children: Oliver Horace Perry (OHP) b. 1819,
Christina b. 1820, Elysabeth b. 1822,
William Andrew b. 1824, Francis Marion b. 1827, Juliann b. 1829, Mary Jane b. 1831, and
Melissa DeKalb b. 1833.
Dewitt Clinton Carr b. 26 Jun 1838 Henry Co, TN, d. 16 July 1887 Cape Fair, MO, married
and Alcey Jane Wooley b. 16 May 1842 Stone Co MO, d. 28 Sept 1922 Stone Co, MO. They had
7 children.
If you have additional information I would like to share.
Julia Carr
