Looking for descendants and relatives of the CARR family. John and Dorothy
(Fletcher) Carr, both born in England, immigrated around 1883 and moved to
New Straitsville, a coal mining town in Perry County, Ohio.
The Perry Co. Death Index shows an Edward Carr, coal miner, age 22 years,
born in England, who died on September 14, 1897, of gangrene. I believe this
might be a son of John and Dorothy. In the 1910 census, Dorothy (Fletcher)
Carr
reported she'd had a total of eleven children and only four were still living
at the time of the census.
Between 1910 and 1920, son John and his family moved to Harrison Twp. in
Perry County, but shortly afterward some of this family moved to Herrin,
Williamson Co., IL. My grandmother, Eliza Jane (Carr) TAYLOR, stayed behind
in New Straitsville and lost contact with her parents and siblings.
Anybody recognize these CARRs? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
