Notes

There is no primary resource that substantiates that the Sara(h) Ann Carr that married Riley G. Harrod was the daughter of William Peyton Carr and Nancy Mayhall, although William and Nancy did have a daughter named Sara A. Carr born in the same timeframe as Arthur Carr and Cynthia Miles' daughter Sara A. Carr. However, William Peyton Carr's daughter Sarah Ann married William Henry Thompson in Morgan County, Illinois, in 1856.

Kentucky Marriages primary source for the marriage of RIley G. Harrod and Sara Ann Carr gives Arthur Carr as her father.[5]

Other substantiation:

  • Names Arthur, Geraldine, and Cynthia appear among descendants.
  • William Peyton Carr's obituary suggests that their daughter Sara was likely dead by 1893, as it notes 4 living daughters.
  • Other children of William Peyton Carr consistently note father's birthplace as Virginia (correctly.) Sara, wife of Riley, consistently notes father's birthplace as Kentucky.

Hi again - I did find the marriage record for Sara Ann Carr and Riley G. Harrod, 18 Jun 1857, with Arthur Carr as her father

"Kentucky Marriages, 1785-1979," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FWPT-WP5 : 4 December 2014), Riley G Harrod and Sarah Ann Carr, 18 Jun 1857; citing Franklin, Kentucky, reference 32; FHL microfilm 266,202.

Bruce and Laurel - I stumbled upon this profile while uploading GEDCOMs for Miles descendants; I'm a bit befuddled, because I have Sara Ann Carr, daughter of Arthur Carr and Cynthia Miles, marrying Riley Grandison Harrod (same marriage date, despite the different middle name.) I can find a Sara A Carr 16 yo in the 1850 census with Arthur Carr and Cynthia as well as a Sara A. Carr 14 yo in the 1850 census with William Carr and Nancy. I can't read the gravestone on Find-A-Grave to definitively confirm the birth year as given on that site. Have you all seen another resource (marriage, death cert or another family member in a census ,etc.) that helps confirm the origin family for this Sara Carr? Many thanks - Gary
