Mary,
It seems that the information I have is a match. I wonder if the
correspondence I drew it from is from a relative of yours doing research in
your behalf? I post names tied to the Carr family on my web page in hopes of
tying researchers together who are on the same quest. I include a copy of the
correspondence sent to me earlier, plus yours, and I am forwarding same to the
Carr List.
Happy hunting!

Carr info I have, per your request (except for the Whitford Carr connection):
1. Henry J. Russell (b. 1837?-?) married an Olive Eliza/Elizabeth Carr,
apparently his second wife. His first was Mary Barse/Barss. Henry's parents
were Ralph Russell (2 April 1787, Vermont-3 Oct 1863) and Keziah Dunbar
((1813?NH-July 1875). If you need additional information, you'll need to
write to my aunt since this information is from her:

Hello,
On your Home Page there is mentioned a Keziah Dunbar ~1813 - in NH --
July 1875.
I am searching for the parents of my great-great grandmother, Keziah
Dunbar. It is said she was born in New Hampshire. She married Ralph
Russell (date and place unknown) and lived in Minerva, Essex Co., NY.
Died 1 July 1875. Buried in Union Cemetery, North Creek, Warren Co., NY.
In "Robert Dunbar of Hingham, Masssachusetts" by Ann Theopold Chaplin,
pp. 135, 136, the sons of John Dunbar (p.134), Appollas and Hosea Ballou,
were in Minerva in 1830 census. Appollas was listed as having 5 sons and
3 daughters in household. However, I don't think he was old enough to be
father of Keziah - tho' might be. I do not have a birth date for her. I
have wondered if she was daughter of Appolos Dunbar and Abigail Packard,
married Ralph Russell in NH, and then they came to Minerva with her
cousins. Especially since Appolos and Abigail had a daughter named
Keziah born 17 Oct 1814. Their oldest daughter was Harriet, and Keziah
D. Russell named her first dgt. Harriet. Ralph and Keziah had 14 or 15
children. Harriet married Elijah Stanley, had 10 children. The
youngest, Bertha Mae, was my grandmother who married John L. Brown.
Ralph Russell was the son of Jonathan Russell of Milton, MA who was born
in 1759. Died 15 Dec 1839. Buried in Gore Cemetery, Igerna, NY. (Not
far from Minerva). Ralph was born in NH. Died 3 Oct 1863. I believe he
is buried near his parents.
John Dunbar followed his two sons to Minerva. He was born in Easton,
Bristol Co. MA -1775. Moved to Grantham, NH with his father (John) at
age 19. Married Sally Ammidon in 1801. In 1818 moved to Sand Lake,
Rensselear Co., NY. The to Ludlow, VT in 1820. To Minerva in 1831. In
1835 moved to Brighton, Lorain Co., OH where he died 18 Jan 1838. He had
several children. None were named Keziah that I know of.
If you are able to give me any firm information concerning the parents
and birthday of a Keziah Dunbar who married Ralph Russell and lived in
Minerva, NY, I will greatly appreciate it. I am on AOL but prefer to use
juno for my e-mail. I know it is possible to chat with someone - my
dgt. does with her cousins - but I'm not sure I am sufficiently competent
on this thing to do so! Thank you for reading all this.
