Biography

This profile is part of the Price Name Study.

• Her marriage to Thomas Carr, son of Walter and Lartha Carr, is dated in published records as 19th day of the 3rd month, commonly called May 1705, but this may be a transcription error of the original record. The record before this marriage in the Quaker minutes is dated 1705 and the one after it is dated 1709. A marriage year of 1709 makes more sense when you examine the facts of her grandmother and mother's lives.^[1]

• Her marriage to Thomas Carr, son of Walter and Lartha Carr, in the West River Monthly Meeting Minutes, where they were married, is dated "this twenty-second day of the ninthe month, commonly called November, in the year according to the Inglish account 1705". It is between another marriage in 1705 and and marriage in 1704. However, the records in this book do appear to be in random order.^[2]

• Elizabeth is left a legacy in her mother's will and her husband, Thomas Carr, was the executor of her mother's estate.^[3]

• Thomas Carr and Elizabeth his wife were accepted into membership with [Gunpowder] Friends in 1754. ^[4]
