His father was William E. CARR (b: unk) and mother was Nancy BURNS (b: unk). John's family lived in TX and he had at least three sisters-Addie, Meg, and Jane. On 20 Sep 1896, he married Idella NORRIS (b: 19 Jun 1876, Burnet TX) in Huckabay TX. John and Idella lived in Thurber (at least in 1901), Stephenville (Erath Co), Clifton (Bosque Co), and Post (Garza Co) TX. John also lived in Hamilton TX in 1940 and later with his niece Georgina MARIAN. He died in Ft. Worth TX about 1948. I believe that John's ancestors are a CARR family that moved from Arkansas to Erath County, Texas. They are Stephen CARR (b: 1823 AL) and Martha Jane (b: 1822 AL). Their children were: John T. (b: 1847 AR), William E. (b: 1849 AR), Mary F. (b: 1851 AR), Joseph N (b: 1852 AR), James D. (b: 1854 AR), and Martha M (b: 1855 KY). They lived in Pope County AR and Independence AR and were in Erath Co, TX by 1880. I would also like to contact descendents of his sisters if possible.
