An extract from a letter written by Sally Ann Carr (md: Houston)
dau of Thomas carr, to her nephew, Richard Carr, Donaldville,
GA. on 22 sept 1889.
"Leop, Clay County, Texas. Thomas was Father's and Grandfather's
name. Your Grandpa Carr and Grandma Carr came from Wilson
County, Tenn. in 1817. Your Grandpa Carr was born in Albermarie
County, VA. Your Grandma was born on the ocean but was raised in
Tenn. Your Grandpa Carr with several other men built a keel boat and
brought their families down the Ohio into Mississippi, from
Mississippi to Red River, up the Red River to Lo Pararie where they
landed, sold their boat, scattered over southern Arkansas, which was
then wilderness. They could get all the land they wanted by simply
filing for it. Most of the company got rice in the course of time."
Elizabeth Dice Carr, daughter of Thomas carr and Mary Harpole,
married George washington Stuart. A partial history of the Stuart
family is also included in this issue.
