Have been trying to connect the GA Carrs (Aaron, Stanmore, Mariah & poss. Wm &
Samuel) to the Carrs that came to NC (the Titus Carr line) & to SC,back to the VA
Carrs. Of the children of Thomas Carr of VA (ca 1655), his son Wm (b.1680) who had Capt.
Wm.Carr (b. 1707), this seems to be the most logical line. Capt. Wm. Carr (b. 1707) had
Col. Thomas Dabney Carr (b. OCt 4, 1758 Spotsylvania Co. Va) and he is the only one I have
found that went to GA, where he died in 1820 in Columbia/McDuffie Co.GA. Two counties
away in Wilkinson Co. is where Aaron & Stanmore were. Their parents were said to be
Wm Balus Carr & Anna Mann. Wm Balus Carr was born abt. 1780 & d. 1832. How does
he fit in with all the others? In 1790, the old Richmond Co Ga was where the later
Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie counties came into being. They are right on the SC & GA
line. In 1790, what later became Wilkinson Co. Ga, was in Indian Territory. By 1810, Old
Richmond Co. had split into Columbia & Richm!
ond Co. & Wilkinson Co. was in existance. Columbia/Richmond counties were next to
Edgefield/McCormick counties in SC. None of these Carrs were very far apart in GA. Any
suggestions, impressions or information on what I have posted?
