Okay, this is new to me.
Here's the way I have William's line.
He was the son of Elias CARR and Mary (Barnes) CARR
He was born in North Carolina about 1810. I have not researched him much but got this
information from another descendant. William was one of seven children of Elias and Mary:
James Barnes
Martha
Mary Elizabeth
William
Elijah
John (Jack)
Robert E.
Elijah was my gg grandfather. When he left his family around the late 1840s (don't
know why), my g grandfather was still a boy, and his uncle's namesake (both named
William). My g grandfather Wm Noflet went to live with his uncle William in Green Co. IL
and learned the blacksmithing trade.
According to this other relative, the uncle married twice, once to Nancy Higbee and then
to Teresa O. Smith. He had three daughters by Nancy:
Margaret
Cassander
Mary S.
By Teresa he had six children:
Luella
Frank
Irene
Herbert
???
Angie
So have I got this whole thing wrong?
I've never heard of Martha Johnson, nor of Addie Bell as a daughter of 'uncle'
William.
However, it makes some sense because, the name, Addie, is found twice in my Wm Noflet
CARR's line.
Please tell me about your research and I'll share my original research and sourcess if
you're interested... a whole three more generations back from William Noflet CARR.
