General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Carr


The history of the Carr or Kerr family is as old in England as the Norman Conquest. The earliest known ancestor, accompanying the conqueror, settled in the northern portion of England, from which locality succeeding generations spread to Scotland and Ireland, and in later years to America.
The immigrant Carr ancestor was born in Ireland, and settled in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he followed the occupation of farming. His wife was also a native of Ireland. They were Presbyterians.
