William G. Carr was born in September of 1801 in South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island to William Carr and Lydia Hopkins. [1]
Note: There appears to have been a different William G. Carr who was born in Rhode Island within a few years of this William G. Carr. Use caution when adding information that might wrongly conflate the two.
William G. Carr can be found on the 1850 US census for Cherry Creek, Chautauqua County, New York, with his wife, Sally, his sons Hopkins, Truman and Deloss, and Lydia A. Carr (uncertain relationship), the wife of his son Samuel "Hopkins" Carr, Lydia M. (Matilda) Carr, and his granddaughter, Sarah A. Carr.

According to his Findagrave memorial page, which can be viewed at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15594326/william-g-carr, William G Carr died on November 9, 1854 and was buried in Cherry Creek Central Cemetery, Cherry Creek, Chautauqua County, New York, USA. Family members whose memorial pages are linked to from his page:
One online tree at FamilySearch states that Lydia A. Carr (probably the one in the 1850 US census above), later married "C. Jackson Berry". It may be possible to follow up further using this clue to determine whether Lydia A. was his daughter. (The main reason for any doubt is that she is not listed chronologically on the census -- sometimes an indication of some "difference" between that person and other children listed chronologically.)
