Hi - am not sure if any of this might fit in with your query about the Carr Family. I
have spent about 5 yrs. trying to find the father of Rachel Ann Carr Rivett - she died:
Dec.07.1902 at the age of 76 yrs. in Almonte, Ontario. According to the 1901 Canadian
Census she was born on June 08.1825. According to her obit she was born in St. Lawrence
County,Odgensburg, New York (located on the south bank of the Lt. Lawrence river and was
the daughter of the late Col. Carr (no middle name found) of the US Army. I believe
that Rachel's grandparents were Harriet Charlotte Rose and her first husband,
.......Carr and that she had a sister, Eliza. I think their her parents were David Samuel
Rose and Rachel Jeffries. It appears that when Harriet's first husband died she came
to Canada and married Hugh Ross. I understand that Harriet and Hugh had 5 children after
they married - Emily, Harriet Amelia, Ann and Eunice and one son Richard Rose Ross - I
also understand these childre!
n were born in Montague and Richmond, Ontario
Rachel Ann married my maternal great grandfather - Christmas Rivett - about 1850 in
either the US or Canada At the time of the 1850 US New York census Rachel was listd as
living in the household of Royal Vilas - she was of scottish origin.
Hope this gives you a thread to go on - you can e-mail me privately at djn2005(a)shaw.ca if
you would like more info on Rachel Ann - I would be happy to share whatever I have.
Ciao........Darlene.
