Now that I have done more census work and found George W Carr in 1840 Wayne Co, IL -- a county where the Gregory surname is quite prevalent, and have a better handle on the fact that George appears to be a name in the Carr family (cemetery records), I wonder if you might tell me if you are descended from John or William Carr, each b ca 1770, found in 1820 Posey Co? I would like to connect George with the right Carr family and perhaps use that information as a means to figure out where they went after 1840. They appear not to have remained in Illinois. By the way, did I ever ask you if you were connected to the Biddy Gregory b ca 1855 who married James Robert Finnell in Posey Co? It appears that her mother was named Elizabeth, born about 1828.
