Hi Jim,
I found your post of Aug 29 very interesting. I hope that I can help you with some of the
questions that you have. My daughter is the person that posted the will of Wm Carr 1835
on the web. Together we have been working on this line for a long time. Yes, Frances
(Fanny) Farmer listed in the will is the one who married Samuel Farmer. I didn't know
what happened to her after being mentioned in the will. She also had two sisters Jane
(Jenny), Elizabeth (Betsy), and a brother William, who died before the Will of his
grandfather was probated. Frances (Fanny) Carr Farmer was the child of Thomas B. and
Nancy Ragland Carr. There is a Deed where grandfather William gave his grandson William
Carr land and also 250 acres to Jenny, Fanny and Bitsey. This Deed is dated Aug 23, 1822.
Thomas B. Carr was married 3X, I beleive, and these children are by his 2nd wife Nancy.
There is a Plea in 1815 that involves Thomas Carr, husband of Nancy Carr decd and their
children Wm, Jane, Fa!
nny, and Betsy. I think that Nancy could have died at the birth of her fourth child
Elizabeth (Betsy).
You memtioned the name Jordan Lipscomb, Guardian of Adeline, Paul, and Patience Carr. Yes
he became their guardian in 1836 after their mother died. Her name was Mary Anne
"Polly" DeJarnett, daughter of George Dejarnett and 1st wife of William H. Carr,
brother of Thomas B. Carr. Yes, Thomas B Carr did marry Nancy Abbott after Nancy Ragland
died. They had four children: Millinett, Spencer M, Thomas A, and Margaret.
Now to going back to the father of Thomas B and his brother William Carr. I have a
Chancery Record where the children of John Carr of Hanover Co VA, 50 years after his
death, were in a dispute over the land, personal property and slaves. John Carr died in
Hanover Co. in 1753. John Carr, of Hanover Co, was married to Jane ? and their children
were: John, Thomas B, William, Sarah, Mary, and Elizabeth.
Hopes this helps a little.
Julia
