John Peter Carr stayed in Indiana, to my knowledge. Not sure when Oliver went to
Louisiana, will have to see which census he showed up in down there. As I am typing this,
I am not in front of my information, and am working from my memory.
Oliver's mother was a Caroline Powell. Her father evidently didn't care much for
John Carr and chased him out of Ohio. John was married twice in Indiana, and never
married Caroline Powell. I don't know the Powell heritage, but don't think that
they were Native American. The Carr, on that line, were Germans and came to PA in 1731.
Some of the family married into Native tribes in WV, but not the John Peter line. They
left WV for points west about 1800, where they may have met tribes in OH, IN and IL. Will
look again when I get home in the AM.
