Rumoured to be the son of Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset. Exhaustive searching has found no evidence of this relationship. Certainly he could not be a legitimate son as the Earldom died out. Carr and his wife had an only child, a daughter, Ann. No evidence of a bastard son has been found.
This biography was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import.[1] It's a rough draft and needs to be edited.
A previous version of this profile claimed attached Thomas Carr as a child, without source.

Notes for EARL OF SOMERSET ROBERT KERR: I have a separate page outlining in detail Robert Kerr's life and adventures. Although no name is provided, Robert was
married before he married Frances Howard. Robert Carr is his son with his first wife.
It's an entertaining read, but very few sources, and none on Robert (the son from a "first wife").
Who is this? Not Frances son as she only had one child, a daughter, Ann, therefore illegitimate. Nothing in the literature about a son for Robert, Earl of Somerset.
