Hello. My main interest is in a woman who Samuel Carr/Karr was married to and divorced
from - her name was Maude. They apparently had a son named Oscar (b abt 1907) together.
I don't know a whole lot about Samuel himself. But I do believe he was from Knox Co.,
TN prior to Whitley Co., KY. That is where he and Maude were married and I am told that
there are a lot of Carrs from that area. The name may have been spelled Kear originally.
According to his death certificate, Samuel was age 72 when he died in 1931. His parents
are listed as Jacob Carr and Annie Roberts. I cannot verify that, however. Samuel had a
sister whose name escapes me (Maggie?). By 1920, Samuel and Maude were divorced and I
think he and his sister were living together in Whitley Co., KY at that point. Or maybe
it was 1930. Check both census records. Samuel's sister had children. I can't
remember how many or what her marital situation was. The informant on Samuel's death
certificate looks like!
Dewie Carr. I have found a number of people who worked in the mines around Whitley Co.,
KY later moved to Harlan Co. so there may be a connection.
