Still searching for any information on my ggg-f, Jacob CARR, son of Eli CARR & Martha
Patty WHITE. Jacob was accidentally killed in a shooting match in 1856 by his
brother-in-law James WHITE.
All I have is that he was born in 1825. No source info for his birth, marriage, or death
dates.
He was married to Lydia Ellen ___. Don't know the marriage date or her maiden name.
She moved to Gilmer County, WV and remarried James Putnam in 1858. She used COX as her
maiden name.
1850 Census has Jacob, Lydia Ellen, and son Isaac living in Randolph County, VA/WV. After
Jacob died, she took her son William Patrick (my ggf) who was born in 1851, to live in
Linn in Gilmer County. Isaac must have died young.
William Patrick CARR married Abigail Hope BUSH in Gilmer County in 1873.
