Richard,

You have found it for me! It is on the North Anna River as it should be. It was once a large plantation and homestead called Topping Castle from the Thomas Carr (1645-1711) family during the 1700's.

Thanks Richard.

I used Google Maps and was able to find Houston's Corner North of Richmond. I don't see Proffitt Lane on the mapbut it has route 700 as Mt Airy Dr which is just to the west of Houston's Corner. If you follow I95 North Of Richmond, to the West at Exit 104(Ruther Glen) Is the Intersection of Jefferson Davis Highway and Jericho Road. Hope that helps.
I don't know if it will work but I put the link to the map at the bottom of the message.

I am looking for help location the cemetery and location of Topping Castle of the Virginia CARR family. From the book "Cemeteries of Caroline County, Virginia: Private Cemeteries" by Herbert Ridgeway Collins he describes the following location.

'Located northwest of Jefferson Davis Highway (Route 1) on the North Anna River. From directly east of Houston's Corner continue on Jericho Road (Route 658) turn onto Proffitt Lane (Route 700) and go to the end of the road.'

I have been looking north of Charlottesville but I can not pinpoint the location. Can anyone help?

Looking for Carr family, my great-grandfather, Mills Carr, born in Wayne Co,IN. in Jan 1834. His father was born in GA and mother in NC. Mills married Elizabeth Hodson in 1854 at Grant County, IN. Mills son Elmer Carr married Hattie Ellen Lytle in AR, whose father was born in Randolph Co. NC. There were many Lytles but the name Mendenhall struck a cord in my memory. Do have anything onthis family. I am looking for the parents of Mills Carr. D Carr Graff

I have a Frances Carr that was born in Bootle cum Linacre, Lancashire, England in 1899. Married Ann of Birkdale, moved to Ohio. Had a Son James and Daughter Daisy. James taught School and is a Former Mayor, married with a Son James and two daughters. This information was given about 15-20 years ago by an Elder of the family that was still living in Liverpool. This information is what I have to go on to try to find family and connect the dots back to my family in England. If any one has any information please do not hesitate to contact me.

DCarrGraff — 2009-10-14 21:41:13Z

I have hit the brick wall on my great-grandfather. I only know he was born 20 Jan 1834, Indiana. I have his marriage record to Elizabeth Hodson, confirmed by the pages in their Bible, which lists their children and birthdates.On the 1900 census he listed his father was born in GA and mother in NC. His Civil War record states he was born in Wayne Co, IN and also lists his wife and children. I don't have a clue who Mill's parents were. Any one know anything? DCarrGraff

Hello,

I can see from your post that this question was asked some time ago. However, if it has not been fully answered yet, I believe I may have some information that may be of help.

I would suggest that the Margaret J you may be looking for is Margaret J Weddle. I have census records for James Carr from 1851 to 1891 including the move to Widnes and the children records below almost match up - with Robert Carr as a one year old addition to the household in 1891.

If correct, believe marriage took place 1870 Newcastle upon Tyne (10b 65). Link :

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=freebmdmarri...

I am a descendent of John Carr and am slowly but surely putting this line together. If you have any information re James Carr going further back (I have Jane Carr (nee ?) who was his grandnother but cannor put together directly) then I would be very grateful.

Kind Regards,

Graham Carr

Re: Carr from RI

auntannieashton — 2009-09-29 20:50:43Z

I had some Carrs who came into Kinderhook, New York about 1803. I wonder if they could be related to your Carrs. My 4th great grandfather was named Josiah Carr. I have no information on his parents. He married a Lois (possibly Phelps) and they had 1 son, Henry Arnold Carr. Lois was pregnant with son #2 when her husband died. She named the son after the dead father. Josiah Carr born 1803 was my 3rd great grandfather. Then Lois married in 1806 Erastus Hinsdale in Connecticut and they moved to Kinderhook to raise their family which grew to 6 more children. At some point Josiah and his brother Henry moved into Yates County, New York.

If you have any information about this family in your records I would so appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for anything you can do for me. MaryAnne

Re: Radford M. Carr in SC GA 1805 - 1850

aliciahowell28 — 2009-09-29 02:26:42Z

Hi Bobby,

I was planning on mailing it to you if that is okay. I have a Epson photo scanner that can restore damaged old photos and it couldn't scan and improve the photo. I could send you the scanned copy but it is even worse than the zerox. I will also send you an invite to view my tree to view my Carr info and all of Radford's clan. I may be mistaken that the M. stands for Moses but my grandmother had passed on that it was Moses because someone in her family said he went by Moses. I've done research with several geneology sites and haven't had much luck with getting further back in the line. I did run by a old message on another site that stated that Radford married Elizabeth Fowler probably in 1831 in Gwinette County, GA. It also said that the his father may have been named Wiley Moses Carr. This message said they had found a Wiley Carr on a census living in Abbeyville, SC in the early 1800s. I can't verify since the person is no longer a member of the site and I don't know how to connect with the lady who posted it. I found a census from 1850 listing Radford and Eliza in Forsyth County GA. It listed their kids as Aney b.1832, Rhona b.1830, Henry b.1837, William b. 1841, Moses Filo b.1845 and Radford M.G. b.1848. I found a message that said the Carrs were changed their name from Karr to Carr. I also found that the names Radford, Wiley and Moses were passed through multiple generations. I plan on going to Forsyth and Gwinnett County, GA to try to hard copies of documentation for the Carr's and Hamrick lines. I hope this helps with your research.

Hi Bobby,
I would be glad to mail you a copy of the photo. It is a poor quality copy so when I tried scanning it, the quality was far worse than a zerox copy. Just let me know your info and I send a copy to you. It says it is circa 1886 but I have dated it to earlier due to appox ages of of the youngest child. It includes Radford Moses, his second wife Eliza Griffin Carr, John Lee Carr, Tom Carr, Margaret Carr, Eddie CArr and my grandmother's father Ell Martin Carr. John Lee and tom are hard to see due to poor quality but the others faces are clear. I am trying to locate who has the original but having difficulty. Which child of Moses Filo are you a descended?

I am seeking any information on Radford Moses Carr and his line. My grandmother is the daughter of Ell Martin Carr. I haven't been able to get further back than Radford M. Carr. I have come into possession of a poor photo copy of Moses Filo Carr his wife and children taken around 1870. I am willing to share any information. I am located in Birmingham, AL. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Family heritage

jcarrgensearch — 2009-09-17 04:25:42Z

You may want to consider a YDNA test to help you identify Carr families that are most likely to share your Carr paternal line ancestry. The Carr Family DNA Genealogy Project has several participants whose Carr ancestors lived in Canada. We also have Carr family participants from around the world. One or more of these families may share your paternal line and have the paper trail to connect with your family. Results can also be used to test the probability that suspected related Carr families may share recent biological lineage with your paternal line.

I am looking for the family of my great-great grandmother. I have seen her name as Rody A.M. Carr, Malissa Carr, and Rody A. W. Carr. She married Henry Lee in 1843 in Georgia. The last record of her is in Alabama. She probably died and is buried in Marshall County or one of the adjoining counties. I have no information on her family. She is the mother of William Alfred Lee, my great grandfather. She had another son who was named Asa. If you have any information, I would be so grateful.

Alma Carr and John S. Perkins

jenwickert79 — 2009-09-14 03:08:12Z

I am looking for information on my g-g-g grandmother Alma J. Carr and her husband John S. Perkins. They were both born in PA. Alma in 1832 and John on February 13, 1827. And both died in Allamakee, Iowa. Alma on November 16, 1865 and John on May 25 1858. Alma's family I am told is believed to be from Pennsylvania as well as Michigan or Minnestoa. The mystery I am trying to solve is whether or not John and Alma indeed had a daughter named Helen in 1854. After John passed Alma married a man named Edward H. Smith (my g-g-g- grandfather) and they had a son Harry Warren Smith. Unfortunately Alma died during child birth. Helen Perkins remains living with Edward and Harry after Alma's passing according to census records. And even remains living with Harry (her possible step brother) and Harry's stepmother after Edwards passing. I can find her in census records until 1870 (age approx. 17) and then she disappears. The reason this is such a mystery for my family, even though on Alma's obituary is lists that she has two children, is that NO ONE in my family has ever heard of her. My mother remembers my g-g grandpa Harry (Helen's probable step brother) and yet she, nor anyone else who knew him ever remember him mentioning her. So the question is did she pass on early in life so therefore he never spoke of her? (He would have been 4 in the last census record she was living with him) or did she marry and move on with her life never to look back? Did she have children? Anyone with any information regarding any of the people mentioned in this post please feel free to email me at jenwickert@wi.rr.com. Thank you!

The following was posted to the KY biography site
NOTE: I have no connection, no further
information and am not seeking additional information.

11379 MUHLENBERG CO - PAUL RAYMOND CUNNINGHAM,
D.D.S - Cunningham, Carr, Crute, Gresham,
Tidwell, Baker, Mitchell, Pool, Wimbly, Wallace, Civils, Adams, Piercy

11379 History of Kentucky, The Blue Grass State.
Volume III Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke
Publishing Company, Chicago - Louisville, 1928
Dr. Paul Raymond Cunningham, a prominent member
of the dental fraternity of Muhlenberg county, is
practicing in Central City and represents the
fourth generation of the family in Kentucky. His
great-grandfather, William Cunningham, was born
in Bonnie, Scotland, a coast town, in 1765, and
was the youngest of three children. His brother
died in early life and his sister came to the
United States soon after her marriage, settling
on the James River in Albemarle county, Virginia,
in 1780. William Cunningham received a common
school education and learned the tailor's trade
under the direction of his father. According to
the laws of his country he as obliged to spend at
least two years in the regular army and in order
to avoid military service he left home. With the
assistance of his maternal uncle, a sailor, he
stowed himself away on a sailing vessel bound for
America and remained hidden until the ship was in
mid-ocean. After a six months' voyage the boat
reached Chesapeake bay and was anchored in the
harbor at Norfolk, Virginia. Obtaining permission
to go ashore, Mr. Cunningham traversed the city
and managed to elude his uncle, for a seafaring
life was thoroughly distasteful to him.
Proceeding to Albemarle county, he joined his
sister, with whom he made his home for a number
of years, and from 1792 until 1794, during the
whiskey rebellion in Pennsylvania, was a solder
in the United States Army. After the expiration
of his term of service he returned to his
sister's home and resumed his former occupation.

In 1795 William Cunningham was married in
Albemarle county to Miss Nancy Carr, daughter of
a wealthy planter and for a time they lived on a
small farm in the county. In the spring of 1818
Mr. Cunningham migrated to western Kentucky and
with the assistance of one of his sons and a
negro slave built a house and stable on his
property in Trigg county, also raising a crop of
corn. In the fall of 1818 he again journeyed to
Virginia, disposed of his land in that state, and
brought his family to the new home in Kentucky.
He erected a mill on the present site of Trigg
Furnace, cleared his farm and prepared the land
for cultivation of corn and tobacco. He was one
of the pioneer horticulturists of that locality,
bringing his trees from Virginia, and became the
owner of a large orchard which bore fruit for
nearly a hundred years. Through hard work and
good management he developed a highly productive
plantation, which is now known as the John Crute farm.

Mr. Cunningham also found time for public affairs
and was an officer at the first election ever
held in Trigg county, formerly a part of
Christian county. He figured conspicuously in
events which shaped its early history, becoming a
member of the third session of the circuit court

Their son, Warren C. Cunningham, father of Dr.

Ursula Carr

ktparker — 2009-09-20 05:50:52Z

I am looking for the descendents of Ursula Carr born 1851 in Wisconsin, daughter of Mark and Anne Carr who came from England about 1850. They moved to the Vallejo, California area by 1857. Mark and Anne had 2 other sons, Thomas born 1857 and Mark b. 1860. Ursula married Hector Mclean in 1884 in Vallejo, and appears as late as the 1920 census in San Francisco. Please contact me if you are or know who her descendents might be.

Re: Alice Carr

arg9865 — 2009-09-28 14:22:09Z

I would suggest that you try cyberdriveillinois.com and try to find a birth certificate for Alice there. I am interested because my Carr family is from Chicago. My great grandparents, Richard and Jane Alice Carr came from Newcastle-on-Tyne in England and settled in Chicago, on the west side. They had 13 children, one of whom was named Alice, but she died at 15 from Typhoid fever. I could imagine one of her siblings possibly naming a child Alice in her memory or possibly even for Jane Alice, their mother. If you think there might be a connection, you can contact me at arg9865@yahoo.com. Good luck in your search.
Alice is my name too, by the way!

Re: Carr/Peacock

jllewis1985 — 2009-09-29 02:52:49Z

Hi I know you don't know me, but I am trying to look up my family history on my mother's side of the family. Of course they are the Peacock's. My grandmother's name is Vera May Smith-Peacock. Smith was her maiden name. She married my grandfather Leroy Soloman Peacock. I am trying to find out any further information. If some of the information that you have is the same as mine, then we might be related. I have some information as to where the Peacock grave sight is located. It is located in the Coleman Cemetary. I thought might like to know. If you want to look at my family tree to see if it is close to yours it is called Lewis family tree. Maybe some of it can help your search.

I need information about this CARR family. Edward CARR and Kathleen ALDRIDGE, married in London in 1921, are Ellen Dorothy CARR's parents. That is all the information I have about them. Ellen was born Nov 8, 1922 (Kensington North) London, England. In Sept 1945, Ellen married Philip Christopher Honour (born 1912, Aylesbury, England), and came to Canada as a war bride in July 1946. They lived on their farm in Kelwood, Manitoba.

Re: Radford M. Carr in SC GA 1805 - 1850

BobbyFerguson20 — 2009-09-24 16:06:25Z

Alicia,

I'm a descendant from Radford M. Carr. I always assumed the M was for Maxey as is his son's name. Here's my line.

Radford M. Carr, b. 1805, in SC, d. Aft. 1848. He was married in 1831 to Elizabeth ?. Not sure of last name but might be Fowler, but that might be the wrong generation.

Radford and Elizabeth's children were:
Henry Greenwood Carr b. 28 Dec. 1837
William M. Carr b. 1841
Moses Filo Carr b. 12 Nov 1845
Radford Maxey Carr (my ancestor) b. 29 Nov 1848

My Radford M. Carr married Julia Ann Hobson and their children are:

James Elbert Carr (my grandfather)
Molly (Mary) Carr
Cally J. Carr
Lupally Carr
Etta Carr
Radford Isaac (Ike) Carr
Fannie Eva Carr
Minnie L. Carr
Birdie Carr
Jake Maxie Carr

I assume this is the same Moses Filo Carr that you are related to. I don't have any children's names of any of the siblings of Radford Maxey Carr. So if you have any of those that would be great.

Do you want to mail me the photo or send it online? Maybe if you make a copy at Kinko's or Walgreen's it would turn out better than being scanned? Just a thought.

Bobby

Hi Alicia,
I'm afraid I can't get back further than Radford M. Carr either. I would love to find his father. I would like to see a picture of Moses Filo Carr. I don't have any pictures of the family back then.

I'm in Houston.
