Message Board Post:
Greetings,
I'm descended from the first Aquilla Carr's second marriage, from a young and
sometimes overlooked son William.
Circumstantial evidence points to Northumberland as the area of Carrs that Walter comes
from. Political unrest there may have made it necessary that he live for awhile in
France, as some sons of dissidents did at that time. That would explain his Le Carre/
Carre spelling on earlier documents in Gunpowder MD.
Some documents in the Maryland Archives say that the king helped reestablish some families
of rebellious English families in MD but sent his friends to VA, considered the better
climate.
