Biography

Probable Origins

Probable biological origins for Julia Carr are Richard Carr (ca. 1814-1860) and Julia Gregory (ca. 1823-1880). By the 1870 census, her father being deceased, we find Julia the youngest child along with her brother Ezekiel and their mother Julia (Gregory) Carr.^[1]

Unconfirmed and improbable Adoption Scenarios

Another unsubstantiated record is of Julia "Culbreth," living in the household of Ned and Nancy Culbreth, from the 1870 federal census in Little Coharie, Sampson County, North Carolina at 8 years of age. Her relationship to the parents is listed as "Inferred Father" and "Inferred Mother." Note also that Julia is shown in the census with a race of Black, which is inconsistent with the history of her descendants.^[2] This adoption scenario seems implausible not only because of the race factor, but also because of the location, name, and age match for Julia Carr in the 1870 census.

Note that Julia Carr's parents first show up in the 1850 census^[3], so this further confirms that Julia's birth was later. Unfortunately, no record of an 1860 census has been located.

Another adoption scenario might be said to involve Margaret Jane Williams (ca. 1822-1900) as an adoptive mother. Some would conflate Julia Carr with Catherine J Williams (ca. 1845-1931). However, this ignores the fact that census data has been located that places Julia Carr in her widowed mother's household in 1870, and it is also inconsistent with Julia being identified as Julia Culbreth by 1880, married in another household entirely. The only delimiting factor is the spouse of Margaret Jane Williams is a John Culbreth; nevertheless, his vital dates are 1842-1889, and his origins are a different Culbreth line than Julia Carr's husband as identified in the Family of Consent section.

Family of Consent

Not until the 1880 census do we see daughter-in-law Julia (Carr) Culbreth at an approximate age of 20, who is listed in the house of her husband's father (also a Culbreth), along with her husband.^[4]

Widowed mother is listed on the 1914 marriage certificate for son Jarvis Alvin (J A) Culbreth.^[5]

The next record provides evidence of a parental relationship for both listed on the 1919 death certificate for daughter Gladys (Culbreth) Pollock.^[6]

Both she and her husband are listed on a 1939 death certificate of son Jarvis Alvin Culbreth.^[7]

Lastly, both parents are listed on a 1943 death certificate for son Horace Marvin Culbreth.^[8]

DNA

Paternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Private and Fann Fann and his second cousin, once removed (40% confidence). Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 3rd Cousin (32% confidence), based on sharing 95 centimorgans (cMs) shared across 7 DNA segments.
