Notes for Henry Alexander Carr:
Henry is a child of the William A. Carr family of Randolph Co., NC. Several of William's children migrated to Georgia, to Jones County, early in the 1800's. Fort Hawkins was built in 1806 in Baldwin County, and was in Jones County until Bibb County was created some years later. Today, the Fort is at a point near the county line and adjacent to the Ocmulgee National Monument.

He was a private and rose to Lieutenant Col. in a Georgia regiment and served to the end of the war. He was Quartermaster General under General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. (I have not found the source for this information, but he was mentioned as Capt. Henry Carr in the estate sale of Benjamin Hawkins in 1816). Was a Captain in a Georgia Co. and served in the Creek War, having been promoted to Captain by Gen. Andrew Jackson for gallant conduct on the battlefield between the Regular Army and the Indians near Macon, GA.
A group of soldiers were organized in October, 1814 at Fort Hawkins and joined with Andrew Jackson in Mobile.

Jones Co., Georgia was formed by an act of the Legislature December 10, 1807 from Baldwin County which was formed May 11, 1803. Jones County was laid out in 1807; part added from Putnam in 1810; a five mile slice given to Bibb in 1822, and since then her boundaries have remained stationary.

Henry Carr's will was dated 15 Mar, 1847 and probated 12 Feb. 1848, and mentions wife Mary Carr (who lives separate and apart from me), oldest child Perry C. Carr, daughter Epsy Gilliland, second son Benjamin H. Carr, son Geo. W. Carr. Franklin E. Plummer was appointed counselor and was a witness. Other witnesses were George W. Robinson and William F. Chance.

Henry Carr was buried in the same plot as his son and daughter-in-law William A. Carr II and Virginia Hawkins, in Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS.

It is interesting that his son is named William Austin Carr Jr., but the only record I have found that links Henry Carr directly to his father, William Austin Carr of Randolph Co., NC is a single deed to which Henry was a witness, related to his grandfather, Joseph Carr.

The recorded birthdate may be wrong - the date is exactly twenty years to the day after his father, whose grave is in Randolph Co., NC.

The following information is provided as research information about other Carr families that have been linked (in error) to this family:
According to the 1860 Yalobusha Co., MS census:

A Jonathan Carr, Jr. resided adjacent the Pearson family, whose daughter married a Carr from another line. This line included Jonathan, b c 1820 and wife Ann E. (both born in NC). Children
Henry E. Carr, 23 (b c 1837) NC
J. H. or J. W. Carr, 21 (b c 1839) NC (Joshua per 1850 Sampson Co.)
William A. Carr, 19 (b c 1841) NC
James H. Carr, 17,(b c 1843) NC
Lucy Jane Carr, 12 (b c 1848) NC
Sarah E. Carr, 9 (b c 1851) NC
Temperence Carr, 7 (b c 1853) NC
Edward M. Carr, 4 (b c 1856) NC
Samuel Carr, 2 (b c 1858) NC
Anna Carr, 1 (b c 1859) MS

This family was in the 1850 Sampson Co., NC census and descends from Patrick Car of Bertie Co., NC. It may be this family that had Lewis Perry Carr "Uncle Tobe" claiming to descend from Patrick Carr of NC and Georgia.

Another Patrick Carr is mentioned in "The King's Mountain Men": "Patrick came from Ireland before the Revolution, was a captain under Colonel Clark in the attack on Augusta in September, 1780, and was under Sumter at Blackstock. The statement that he killed one hundred tories must be an exaggeration, if to be understood as a personal matter. His murder in 1802, in Jefferson County, Georgia, is said to have been by a son of a tory he had killed. At King's Mountain he was under Major Chandler." This is obviously the Patrick Carr that "Uncle Tobe" was mentioning, as the "killed 100 men" was in the story. Is it possible that this Patrick Carr was the son of the other one that went from Ireland to North Carolina and is mentioned above? Patrick Carr did have a son with his name, of which no more is known.

There is no know connection to this Carr family, but it is interesting that they come from NC - where the Carr family is "known to have resided." according to family traditions, and that it includes a Henry and a William A., as does the family which married the Pearsons.

A Henry Carr was a Capt., married to Mary Griffin in Early Co., GA, dau of John and Mary Griffin. I do not think that it was this man.

A festival is held in Water Valley, MS each August celebrating "Turkey Bill Carr", who as a child was captured by Indians, and who is said to have been one of the earliest white residents of Yalobusha County, MS. I do not know if that is "my" William, but it sounds like it ought to be!

Notes for Mary Downs:
Mary Downs was said to be the sister of Lavinia Downs. Lavinia is known to have been of the Creek tribe. No such stories are told about Mary, but there were few "white" women in Georgia when it was wilderness. One census record indicates she said she was born in Maryland, and a family of Downs did move from Maryland to Georgia. She (and her sister Lavinia) could have been half Creek.

Children of Henry Carr and Mary Downs are:

95 i. Epsey B.4 Carr, born 08 Sep 1801 in GA; died Aft. 1850. She married (1) Jonathan Gilliland; born Abt. 1812 in AL; died Aft. 1850. She married (2) [Unknown] Walker.

Notes for Epsey B. Carr:

or Epsie B. Carr. Epsey B. Butler is related to Crawford Downs and may be a close relative.

1850 Mary Downs, mother, resided with Epsey Carr according to the Water Valley, MS 1850 census.

The name Epsie may be short for Hespibah
