Hello everyone. My name is Grady E. Loy and I am presently a resident of
Yokohama Japan. My great grandmother was Eleanor Carrier who was born in
Elkhorn Nebraska in 1872. She married William Loy in the Verde Valley of
Arizona in 1889. She had two sisters Ethel Carrier (born Elkhorn Nebraska,
married Lee Hawkins died Jerome Arizona) and Francis Ivy Carrier (b. Verde
Valley Arizona died California). The first two were children of Myron
Adelbert Carrier, born 1842, Floyd New York, died 1907 Camp Verde, Arizona
and Harriet Jane Lindsay, born 1849 Russia, New York, died 1873 Prospect,
New York. They married 1867 in Prospect. Francis Ivy was daughter of Myron
and his second wife, Melvina Munds (b. 1859 Roseburg Oregon d. 1929). Myron
Carrier's father was Anson Carrier who appears in Floyd New York in the 1840
census and was probably born around 1810. His wife was Jerusha Dille Eddy
who was born between 1810 and 1820 in New York though one cousin has told me
that her father, John Eddy, was from Middleboro MA. Next to (within a
couple of census pages) John Eddy in the 1820 and 1830 censuses (Floyd NY)
were a John Carrier and and Elias Carrier. John Carrier and Elias Carrier
disappear from the 1840 New York census but Anson is listed living very near
John Eddy and Thomas Eddy in Floyd in 1840. I assume John, Elias and Anson
are relatives.
I look forward to learning about the different branches of the Carrier
family from all of you and hope that vrom time to time I may be able to
contribute something useful as well. I thank Neal Carrier for introducing
me to the site and for all of his help excellent advice with regard to the
New York Carriers.
