I am searching for information on my g-g-grandfather, Henry Homer Carr, born April 12,
1857 in Louisiana and died January 3, 1904 in Louisiana. According to the 1880 US Census,
he states that his father was from Illinois and his mother from Mississippi. He married
Martha "Mattie" Susan Houston around 1879 and they had 8 children, Henry David,
Waymon William, Thomas Wilton, Joseph C., Sidney B., Rosa Ardella, Mary Jane and Malcom D.
Word of mouth in the family states that Henry's father was from Virginia. He came to
Louisiana during the Union War and stayed when it was over. It is possible that Henry had
a brother named John Bates Carr, born November 30, 1860 LA.
Thanks,
Sharlene
