Surnames: CARR WALKER BROWN COUNCIL COUNCEL BARNES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ya.2ADI/628.1.1 Message Board Post: My John C Carr could indeed be John Council Carr, born in Logan County, Kentucky on Feb 6, 1837. His g grandmother's name was Mary COUNCIL who married Robert CARR. Their son, Elias CARR married Mary BARNES and their son, Elijah CARR married Mary L. BROWN. I found out John and wife had moved to Eastman from the probate of his elder brother's will. I only know of four brothers. They were Bentley Brown b. 1829, Elias Reuben b. 29 Nov 1831, William Noflet b. 11 Oct 1832, James L. b. 22 Nov 1835 who died just after the Civil War perhaps from wounds he'd received. His sister was Salley Jane b. 1838 who married John Walker. I know nothing about children or wife or the dates you mentioned, but the rest fits.
