The will of Thomas Oliver (ca 1745) specifies wife Phebe Oliver and mentions Job Carr as
being his "father in law." Both the Oliver and Carr families at that time lived
on Cape Hatteras Shores in what is now Currituck County, (formerly Albemarle or Bath
counties, depending on where lines were drawn). Job Carr was also head of a group of
militia in 1745 in Currituck County, NC. I am trying to ascertain where Job Carr, his wife
(possibly Hannah Willets?), Phebe, and maybe other children formerly lived and any other
information that will connect me to the CARRs' point of origin in the US. Any help
will be appreciated. Florence Fulford Moore
