William H. Carr, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, William H. Carr might describe his life as follows. |
 |
I was born about 1790 in Halifax County, Virginia, and was just the right age to be in the War of 1812, for which I received a pension.  Back from military service, I married Mary Ann DeJarnatt in Pittsylvania County 22 April (bond) 1816. By 1820 “Polly,” as I called her, was the mother of three children: Paul W., Adeline M., and Patience E.G. Carr. The “E.G.” was for Edna George, Polly’s grandmother. |
|
I soon took out for Tennessee when the pressures of family life became too much for me. When I heard my father died in 1834, leaving me nothing, I came home to contest the will. That is when I learned Polly was the mother of three sons of Jordan R. Lipscomb. |
|
I could do little but leave my teenagers as Lipscomb’s wards, and go back to Tennessee. A buddy, D.C. Caswell, had me buried sometime before 16 May 1882 when he sought reimbursement for his costs. |

William H. Carr served in the War of 1812 in Col. John L. Jennings Company of Halifax County, 31 Oct. to 30 Dec. 1814. |
|
After William left Virginia, he apparently went to Hart County, Ky., 1852-55, and to Obion County, Tenn., where he was living in 1826 when he sold a slave to his brother Silas Addison Carr in Henry County. |
