According to the Find a Grave Memorial page, he moved from Scotland to the Ulster province, parish Aghnamullen, county Monaghan, Ireland when he was 4 in 1688 because of "some political unpleasantness" in Scotland; lived on a farm in county Down 1732-1741. Although that memorial states he was born in County Down a birth in Scotland is implied. [1]

He is said to have emigrated to Philadelphia in 1741 and lived nearby until moving to Fairfax Co, VA in 1756 where he purchased 375 acres in Kittocton Mountain.

He first moved his family to Fairfax County, Virginia in 1756.

Family

The same source suggests he married more than once. His first wife is said to have been Susan Kerr, born in County Down, Ireland in 1688.

I agree with AM Hayes about the possibility that two John Carrs have been conflated into one. Along with the fact that it was very unlikely in this (and any!) period for someone to live to 110 years old, if Susan Kerr was born in 1888, she would have been into her 50s and later when the children were born!

Carr-9224 and Carr-494 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date, 110 year life span; wives look like duplicates as well.

This profile shows John living to 110 years old and having a child born when he was 86. I wonder if this might actually be two generations of John Carr's , amalgamated together into one profile? It gets so confusing when families keep on recycling the same names through every generation!
