Carr-16915 and Carr-10059 appear to represent the same person because: duplicate person
posted by Shelly (Hoyt) Madore
Carr-16915 and Carr-10059 do not represent the same person because: Wm. Carr resided in Maine, children of Maine.

The other Wm. Carr-16915 is given as died 1838 New Brunswick, child born NB. Wm. Carr lived in Maine and still living 1840, Frankfort Maine. As far as I can recall Bedell is not name associated with Carr-10059.
