Hello there!
Trying to connect with other Carr researchers that can help me make this connection
mentioned above a bit more solid.
Lots of wishy washy info and I am trying to clean up my tree.
From Macrest back I am good, but my connection of my GGGGrandmother
Providence Carr Brandenburg to her father Samuel is shady at best. Then Samuel to Macrest
is also shady.
The issue appears to be NUMEROUS Carr's with lots of Samuels in there!
So my line is:
Providence Carr born 12 Nov 1804 in Harrison County WV
Marries Edward J Brandenburg in Harrison County WV in September 1824. I have the marriage
certificate. She is 19.They migrate to the Athens Ohio Area and this is where they raise
their family.
She is supposedly the daughter of a Samuel Carr who was born in 1770 in Massachusetts and
died in 1824 in Harrison County WV. The only evidence I have of this is a Will that is
said to exist that lists her as his daughter.
And then that Samuel is supposedly the son of Macrest Carr, Birth 2 May 1731 in Salisbury,
Essex, Massachusetts, USA
Death 3 Dec 1779 in Jefferson, Lincoln, Maine, United States. This is also shady as
numerous children seem to be missing from any comprehensive listing for Macrest.
I would appreciate any help from any other researchers confirming or denying these
connections so I can keep my tree clean and accurate. Thanks so much!
