Paddy Carr grew up at Ft. Mitchell, AL & had a brother named Tom. They were educated in a Methodist mission school there. The property he owned before the removal was in what is now Russell County, AL. Handed down in one family is information that, yes, he accompanied two of his wives & their children to what was called the Arkansa Territory, now Oklahoma. However, his third wife had just given birth to a son, too young to make the trip. They were left in what was Pike County, that included Eufaula, AL. He did return to this area and lived his remaining life here where he was buried in burial grounds on the Chattahoochee River. He did not leave this area until 1838, but we do not know when he returned. My husband's father reported hearing his father speak of aunts by the name of Adri & Adne, the names of Paddy Carr's twin daughters by Jane McIntosh. His great grandfather was James Jasper Carr who worked for the railrod and ran for mayor of Eufaula in 1912. One of his grandsons, Asa Battles, became a famouse artist of the west and of Indians and reported being Creek Indian. The grandmother was of Creek heritage, also. Due to the treaty, any of Indian heritage in AL had to skillfully hide this fact for if known, their properties could be confiscated. Information about their heritage had to be passed by word or mouth. It is therefore difficult to obtain information regarding the origins of James Jasper Carr as have been unable to uncover any birth records, only that he was born in Pike County, which included Russell & Barbour Counties.
