My son's Great Grandfather is Columbus Parker Carr. I wasn't aware he had a
brother named William. Columbus's second wife, Ida Pierce, is where our relations
begin. We live in Ringgold, Ga. and are aware that Columbus had 2 sets of children with
the same names. We have met one of them, named Johnny. I have a copy of an 1880 Census in
Murray Co. Georgia that shows Mclean Karr with wife Milla C. and son Columbus. Relations
in Georgia seem to remember that her name was Milla Catherine or Kate and one Grandson
told me before he died that he thought Columbus's Father's nickname was
"Mack" thus I thought the census might apply. Columbus confessed on his deathbed
to Ida that he had another family "across the mountain" that he never had
mentioned before. I should be happy to send it to you if you wish. I know you posted this
some time back, but hope you will respond....
