Not sure what info you have. This is what I have found out. Sylvenus "Bean Carr was born apx 1832, first married Emily Carr, a cousin. She was the daughter of John Carr Jr. and Elizabeth Wolford. They had one son, Columbus Carr, called "Cull." He was born apx 1856 Tucker Co. WV, and Emily Carr died same year. Sylvanus then married Jane Bonner, 1858 and I have only been able to verify two sons, Sylvanus, called "Bud" and Sylvester Jetson Carr. Sylvester is my ancestor. He married Martha Goldizen and had four sons, Jonas, Grover, Sylvanus, and Henry. Two daughters, Mary and Ellie. I hope this helps you. If you need anthing else, contact me, as I live in Tucker County, and can possibly research for you.

Information I have is from family bible, writings set down by my gm Carr, and census records. These indicate children of Sylverster and Martha were Henry, Mary, Sylvanus (my gf), Getty, Grover, Ella, Jonas and Florence (half sister by a 2nd marriage). My father (78) clearly remembers his uncles, especially Jonas whose children settled around Cabins, WV, Maysville, WV and Winchester, VA. I know his cousin Alonzo (Jonas' son) is still alive in Cabins. Will have to re-check to see if I missed any that you listed.
It's the same tree, just a few branches rubbing the wrong way. As to physical-- no, we're the blue-eyed blondes and reheads. Short and muscular with very straight noses.
Will attach whatever I can to next e-mails. Give me a few days to organize.
It would have helped if they had stopped using Sylvanus and variations thereof.
