Do you know any Carrs that would be willing to join the DNA study. We are lacking participants from that family. I only know as far back as my Great Grandfather, John James Carr (1817 - 1891) (possibly Ker before emigrating circa 1833) who had a farm in Niagara County, New York from 1850 - 1891. Where he came from before that is a mystery. He married Mary Watson in NYC in 1855 and I believe one of her brothers married a Margaret Carr. John James Carr supposedly emigrated with a brother, but the family has no record of his name.
