Surnames: Early Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xVB.2ACE/1522.1.2.2 Message Board Post: Mimi: I find aspects to your question compelling. My Grandmother was an Early. Her brother was David Carr Early. She called him "D-Carr." Their father was George Andrew Early. These Earlys and two previous generations lived in Huntington Township, Brown County. My David Carr Early was born June 16, 1895 and married Mary Louise Stapelton. There similarities between your family search and my family that indicate there could be a connection. There are also contradictions that say otherwise. Where did you get the name David Carr Early? Are you certain that your ancestor is David Carr Early (rather than just David)?
