511... Another correction to the Fansler genealogy comes from research into the Carr family. Homer Fansler reported that the wife of Peter Fansler (son of Henry) was Rebecca Bonner [b.1806]. However, Bonner genealogists have never included Rebecca in their family groups. It now appears that Peter Fansler's wife was Rebecca Carr, an illegitimate daughter of Christianna Carr, who was the oldest daughter of John Carr Sr. Christianna Carr later became a housekeeper and consort of Isaac Booth of Belington. Christena Carr left a will in Barbour County and named Rebecca "Phansler" as one of her legatees, though no relationship was specified. This was clarified by a January 1813 bind-order in a Randolph County Court Minute Book (2A, p. 157, 164), in which "Overseers of the Poor order Rebecca Carr, orphan of Christina Carr, be bound to Samuel Bonner." Samuel was a younger brother to the William Bonner who married Jemima Carr, Christianna Carr's next younger sister. Two months later that order was rescinded and she was bound to Ebenezer Flanagan. About this same time, Christianna Carr began living with Isaac Booth. He was a representative to the Virginia Legislature in 1822, and some constituents filed a legislative petition [on file at the Va. Archives] to have him removed due to his immoral conduct. It is therein that she was called his housekeeper (among other names) and how long they had been together; there is also report that he had children living with him that he wasn't sure were his, which was why he wouldn't marry her. The 1820 Census does not suggest that Rebecca was with them; ultimately, in his will, Isaac Booth claimed paternity of the children born from 1812 on. I do not believe that Isaac Booth is Rebecca's father. Given that illegitimate children were often known in the community by both their mother's and their father's surname, it is remotely possible that her father was, in fact, a Bonner. However, no such man has been identified....
