Thomas KARR born 1774 MD married 1809 Ross County OH Mary MONTGOMERY born
1794 PA
known children are Marab 1816, Hiram 1818, Humphrey M 1828, Andrew 1827,
Tabitha 1839 all born in PA are either in the home of Thomas and Mary KARR
or near them in the Warren Co IA 1850 Census.
They appear to be in Marion Co, purchasing land in the 1840's, and moved
across the line into Warren Co.
By the 1855 census NONE of them appear in the Iowa state census index.
Hiram purchases a 16 x 16 foot piece of land in Warren Co about 1854,
promptly mortgages it, and leaves the state going to Coffey Co, Kansas. No
one in Warren Co is aware of a cemetery anywhere near this piece of land.
Why would he have purchased it? Where did the rest of the family go?
Hiram KARR married Sarah PENSYL in Highland County Ohio, they both died in
Kansas in the 1860's.
All help appreciated. Will gladly share what I have.
