Do you have the names of his children? My gggrandfather James Carr was born in Baltimore,
Maryland (as far as I can tell) and moved to Virginia. He moved his family to Muskingum
County Ohio in the city of Roseville near Zanesville. I haven't aquired all the
information as yet, but here is what I have.
In 1850 in Muskingum Co. census, James Carr 63 and his wife Catherine A. 63, were living
beside James H. Carr (my ggrandfather) and his first wife Eliza Paxon Carr. John and
Catherine had a John Carr living with them who was 15 at the time. I don't know if he
is a son or grandson as it would make Catherine 47 or 48 at the time of his birth.
James H. and Eliza had three children at that time. Alonzo, Melissa, and Sarah. Eliza
passed away and James H. married my ggrandmother Margaret Brehm Reid. She had a daughter
Jane, by a George Reid. I can't seem to find any information on them either so they
must have been living elsewhere. I just haven't found out where yet. James H. and
Margaret had a daughter Julia my grandmother. She married David C. Blacksten and they had
two children Effie (my mother) and Harley. I would appreciate any information you may
have. My mother's side of the family is giving me fits!!
Thanks!
