Hi!
I'm in possession of the "Claim of Widow for Bounty Land" of the widow of Capt. John Carr. The application was made from Clark County, AR by Sarah Ann Stewart(d) Carr. The connection with Calhoun is that John Carr married his second wife in Calhoun.
Capt. John Carr served in the 2nd Seminole War as part of the Alabama Cavalry about 1840-1842. Capt. John Carr was born about 1806 in Oglethorpe County, GA. He is described as having been 5'11", high fair complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair. He married Sarah Ann Steward in Calhoun County, AR on January 11, 1852. His first wife was Martha Shackelford. He married Martha in Montgomery County, AL about 1828. Martha died in Ouachita County, AR about 1845. John Carr himself died in Clark County, AR on Dec. 8, 1875.
The interesting part of this application is that there is a note stating that it was consolidated with #92937. That is the number of the land bounty application for my 4th gr grandfather John Carr of Jackson County, AL and later of Carroll County, AR. So the widow's application came to me as part of the land bounty application of my 4th gr grandfather John Carr. To the best of my knowledge, there is no blood relation between Capt. John Carr and my 4th gr grandfather.
If anyone out there is related to Capt. John Carr, I'd be glad to correspond.
