The recent discussion on the Quaker Benjamin Carr of NC intrigues me for
several reasons. First, because I thought I was a Beals on another line, and
so had also looked at everything I could find on that quaker family, and I
have this Carr line in my file. Second, because the wife of Thomas Carr,
Miriam Jones, is from Orange Co., NC, where my own Carr family was buying land
about the same time - Joseph Carr of Guilford Co. and Randolph Co., who
happened to name his son Henry Alexander Carr (remember the Alexander in a
minute.

Now, the next posting that came in mentioned
""here is a reference in THE RUDDICK FAMILY IN AMERICA by John W Hanneman
that mentions a Barbara Ann CARR born Jan. 16, 1843 in Bethel, OH, daughter of
Alexander CARR" - another Alexander" and mentions Juliatha Carr of Gunpowder,
MD. Now, my info on the parents of Benjamin go back to Gunpowder, MD - if
they are right.
