    1. [GENMASSACHUSETTS] Priscilla CARR (CART?), wife of Aquila Martin of AMESBURY
    2. Allyssa Edwards
    3. Hello all. I'm hoping maybe someone can help me out on this one. Both myself, and a "cousin" are interested in finding this out. I have an Aquila MARTIN, son of Jonathan MARTIN & Deborah WORTHEN, of Amesbury. He was born 19 Feb 1746 in Amesbury. (Jonathan is son of John MARTIN and Mary WELLS. I have much more info on the MARTIN direct family as well, plus a bit on the Worthens. Just starting on the Wells though). Aquila married a Priscilla CARR or CART. I've checked vital records, and Hoyt's Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, as well as compared notes with some others. Some sources say the surname is CART, some say its CARR. I'm more inclined to think it's CARR, as I know that it is a common old New England surname. Aquila married Priscilla 3 Oct 1769 in Amesbury, Ma. I know they had at least 7 children: Deborah, Aquilla, Betsey (Elizabeth?), Isaac, Priscilla and Sally (Sarah?), all in Amesbury. What i'd like to find out, is about Priscilla. Is she indeed a CARR, or is it CART? where/when she was born, and especially who her parents are. I don't see anyone else on rootsweb with any parents listed, nor have a found anyone else so far with any parents listed either. Is anyone out there familiar with this woman's family? I'd sure love to know more. We would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction. :) -- ~*~ Allyssa (New England, USA) ~*~ (I am house-bound, so can only search from home. I always GREATLY appreciate the kindness of volunteers.) http://branches.fieryangel.net/leaves (very old but it lists some of the lookups I can do)
