4. William Carr is referred to as William Carr. Jr. on 14 Dec. 1732,
Caroline County Orders (see Dorman, 1965, p. 20 [39: Dorman, John
Frederick,
1965, Caroline County, Virginia Orer Book 1732-1740, Part One 1732
-1734/35,
p. 20]. Of course, junior often meant "the younger" rather than " son
of."
5. William Carr, Thomas Carr, Jr. (first cousin) and Joseph Martin
(uncle by
marriage to Susannah Chiles) were on Caroline Co. juries together 13 July
1732 (Dorman, 1965, p. 7) and again 14 June 1733 (Dorman, 1965, pp. 38,40).

9. Juror (7) , 1732-1745 in Caroline Co., Virginia, USA
Campbell states that the office of bailiff "
was without a fixed term;
constables served until they resigned, moved away, died or were removed
from
office. Only five members of the great landlord families were constables
and they held the office in times of stress." Between 1732 and 1745
William
Carr served on three juries. Campbell identifies him as a member of the
magistrate class and states that "members of the ruling families
believed it
beneath their dignity to serve on juries and only served under extenuating
circumstances."
