Hi Miranda,
Hope you're well.
I just found this googling, maybe just a coincidence Tryphena mentioned in same paragraph
as a Carr. Maybe there is something in this - but would it be too ironic for Tryphena to
have Poole as a family name too. She should have gone hyphenated Carr-Poole!?...
I need to read this more closely and check the dates.
Cheers,
Sophie .......
Almira Harmon was born 12 Mar 1811 in Rupert, Bennington, VT. Almira Harmon is the oldest
daughter of Oliver N. Harmon, son of Nehemiah Harmon and Rhoda Sexton. Almira's mother
is Sarah Harmon daughter of Martin Harmon and Tryphena Poole. Almira Harmon married Thomas
Carr. Three children are listed on the Ancestral File: George Guies Carr b. 1833 in
Girard, Erie, PA and died in Nauvoo in 1843; Sarah Naomi Carr b. 1835 in Girard and
married Jesse Payton Holt and died in Spanish Fork, UT; and the third child, Amy Arvilla
Carr b. 1838 in Kirtland and died 1838 in McDonough Co., Illinois. Almira, their mother
also died 23 Aug 1838 in McDonough county, Illinois (which borders Hancock county); and
Thomas, the father died in 1838 same place. Who raised Sarah, who was only three years old
when she was orphaned is not known. Almira is a sister to others on baptismal list
including: Emily Harmon, Orsey Harmon, Lucinda Harmon, and two who were too young to be
baptized: Oliver Norton Ha!
rmon and Levi Nehemiah Harmon.
Thomas Carr's parents are Benjamin Carr and Amy Collins. Siblings of Thomas Carr
according to the Ancestral File are: Daniel, Josiah, Calvin, Lucy, Lydia, Nathan, and
Henry C.--all born in Vermont (Ira, Rutland, VT for most of them).
The Stuntz Marriage records record the marriage of Almira and Thomas, but you have to know
who you are looking for to find them.

The above information should read Thomas Carr and Almira Harmon (Harman)
