I am the great granddaughter of Rachel Hickey Carr. I have just been working on a family
tree for about two weeks! I am very much the rookie, and don't know what I am doing.
But I think the Irish side of the family is interesting.
Most of those papers came from a house the family had in Ct.It was filled with family
papers for many years. Some went to Yale, and some we still have. I know Rachel Hickey had
many sisters. I saw a picture of them the other day. Rachel Hickey was the daughter of
Rosa Hagan and Thomas Carr. They had Thomas in Westborough, Mass , and then moved to
Illinois. I think they probably came into Boston " On the Boat" , settled in
Westborough before making their Westward journey. I know Thomas Carr( Father of Rachel)
worked for the railroad.I will tell you a family legend, which was that Thomas and Rosa
met on the boat. I don't know if that is true, but it is one of the things I plan to
find out. I will try and keep you posted as to my progress.
