"CARR.
The Carr family is fortunate in having preserved the Bible and diary of the
wife of William Carr, one of the immigrants. From the Bible we have dates
and facts of the family such as few of the pioneer families have preserved
in original records. We have a most interesting account of the voyage and
pioneer life of William Carr's family. William had a brother Benjamin,
mentioned below, and a brother James, who ran away to sea and was never
afterward heard from.
