I am looking for the David Carr family. According to 1850 census records, David and wife Azubah lived in Cortlandville, Cortland Co. New York. Their children were William, Elizabeth, Peter, Clarissa, Azubah, David, and Hiram. Their children were all born on Carr Hill. I am looking for any historical information about Carr Hill. Thank you. Sandy D.

I would also be interested in any information about Carr Hill. My gg grandfather and family lived there in the late 1800's. The house still stands, but just barely. Their name was Olds - Amos (b. 1835) and Lois (Hulbert b. 1837). I have his diary from 1887, when he was farming there, but would WALK to Cortland at times. I believe his father Henry (b. 1809), and mother Eliza (b. 1813) lived on Carr Hill also, although I'm having trouble finding information on them. They're buried in the McGrawville Rural Cemetery and that's where I got what little information I have on the 2 of them. Amos also had a brother Melvin who lived close by, and another family member (I believe a brother or cousin) by the name of Revilio or Rovolio. I got these names out of his diary so it's hard to read. Their house is (was?) just about in the middle of the straight-away on Carr Hill Road. My grandmother stayed there with her grandparents (Amos & Lois) when she was about 6 years old (which would have been 1904) and told me stories about going across the back field up to the cross road (sorry, I don't know the name) and to the corner furthest from the house to go to the dairy on an almost daily basis, and that there was a school/church located in that area, too. I'm also looking for information on Norman Haskell, who served in the 44th NY Vol Inf (also known as Ellsworth's Avengers) and died at the battle at Hanover Court House in Virginia on May 29th, 1862. He's also buried in the McGrawville Rural Cemetery and is listed at the top of the Civil War monument there. While we're not directly related, I have letters that he wrote to my gg grandmother (Lois - of Carr Hill) and would love to know about his family, and connection to my gg grandmother (they were apparently good friends). Thanks for any help, and please let me know what you find out about Carr Hill.
