Message Board Post:
I am interested in any CARR familys still living in county at this time.
Martin Luther CARR came to Prairie township, I believe
around Warsaw, ca 1830's, and owned land there, as did his
sons, nephews and daughters.
Martin was married 1st to Elizabeth DAVIS 1792 in HARDY VA.
Liz died 1824 in FAYETTE CO OH.
Martin married Mary/Martha? ca 1830. Not known if any
children from this marriage, or where they were married.
She is mentioned in illegible will.
Martin's son, Martin JR. was mentally handicapped, and
farmed out after Martins death by his son-in-law, Mr.WOODS.
Martin Jr. died ca 1858 in county.
Some of his children moved to Marshall and other counties
near-by, while others moved to towns further away, some
out of state.
I was contacted by a young later that graduated in
Silver Creek/Lake? in 1963, saying she remembered at least
4 CARRS boys, very young at that time. Did mention their
parents.
Would love to know of ANY CARR folk from this county,
maybe even connected to MY CArrs of the 1800's.
Would be thrilled to see how the family has expanded.
