Census 1860 Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey, USA

This enumeration probably erred in listing one son and two daughters - none with given names. In light of the ages shown, the logical enumeration would have been one daughter (Ada, b. 1852) and two sons (William & Horace born in 1855 and 1858). Another daughter (Catherine Frances born in December, 1859) was not listed at all. All four children were living on the date of the enumeration - June 1860.

	Carr, James: 1842 Jul 16, Immigration pg2 James Carr (38) and his wife Agnes (49) are shown arriving from Scotland with two sons: Adam (11) and William (5). James's occupation was listed as barber. James would variously spell his name as Kerr and Carr. (See midway down the passenger list. Note the unrelated child "born on the passage" on the last line. It appears that the child was named for the ship on which they were sailing: Medora Cassilly. The parents were near the top of the same page.
	Carr, Adam: 1852 Marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Tier The ledger lists the date of marriage as 9 June, 1852, vice 3 July, 1851 that is carried by family records. It is not clear why there is a discrepancy unless this document is record of marriage applications and not a marriage record as purported. Then again, the family's 1851 date may have been a church marriage, vice acivil recording in 1852. The column headers are not entirely legible: perhaps they are: status, Name of Deacon (?), residence, Official title, Where Ceremony, Names of parties (?), Residence, Names of Parents (?), Occupation, and Time of ?.
	Carr, Adam: 1860 Census This census matches with Adam and his wife, Sarah Eleizabeth Tier, but the sexes of the three children are at odds with the known children. The census indicates M-9-years, F-6-years, and F-2-years. The family records show the sexes were F, M, F - Ada (9), William S (6), and Cathrine (2).
	Carr, Adam: 1860 US Naturalization This document is signed by both Adam Carr and his father, James Kerr. The fascinating aspects of the signatures are twofold: James signs with an X and spelling of his name as "Kerr" contrasts with Adam's which is "Carr". It tends to put to rest the story that James changed his name to Carr upon arrival in the USA. If he did, it took 18 years to make the decision and it was made after Adam reached his own decision.
	Carr, Adam: 1861 US Patent No 32,045 announcement LIST 0F PATENTS Issued from the United States Patent Office for the week ending April 16, 1861, each bearing that date. Joseph D.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. dated April 16, 1861. To all whom1 it may concern; Be it known that I, ADAM CARR, of Paterson, Passaic county, and State of New Jersey, have invented, made, and applied to use certain new and useful Improvements iii the Construction and Operation of Water-Alarms or Low-Water Detectors for Steam-Boilers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which — (more) {The invention is intended to indicate, by a steam operated whistle, when water in a steam boiler falls below an established line.}
	Carr, Adam: 1866 Fire Fire on Cortlandt Street. - Shortly before six o'clock this morning a fire was discovered on the fourth floor of premises No. 45 Cortlandt street, occupied by Adam Carr, brass cock manufacturer and dealer in wrought iron and galvanized iron pipe. The flames extended to the third floor, also occupied by Mr. Carr, and damage to the extent of $1,500 was sustained. Supposed to be covered by insurance.

	Carr, Adam: 1867 Legislative Gossip "...The bill to incorporate teh Passaic Land Improvement adn Buildig Company, introduced by Mr. Buckley, names as corporators....Adam Carr...and others, who are authorized to purchse, use, hold and dispose of such real and personal estate in Passaic county as may be necessary or expedient to their objects. The capital is fixed at $250,000 with liberty to double the same."
	Carr, Adam: 1867 Election Results Challenged An extract from the Journal of the Senate of the State of New Jersey: "From the examination of the papers in connection with the case, together with the voluminous evidence (contained in five hundred and fifty pages), taken before a Master in Chancery, it appears that at the general election held in the County of Passaic, on the fourth day of November, 1873, Adam Carr, the contestant, and John Hopper, incumbent, were candidates for State Senator for said county. The official statement of the county board of canvassers show that Adam Carr received three thousand seven hundred and fiftyone votes, that John Hopper received three thousand seven hundred and seventy-eight votes, that Andrew Derrom received ninety votes, and three scattering.It appearing to the county board of canvassers that John Hopper had received a plurality of twenty seven of the whole number of votes cast in said county of Passaic, they thereby declared and officially certified that John Hopper was duly elected Senator for three years." Adam alleged: "FIRST. That the ballot box used in the Seventh "Ward of the city of Paterson, was taken from the polling place, out of the custody of the proper officers, to the Passaic Hotel, in a neighboring ward, during the time of dinner, between the hours of twelve noon and two o'clock P. M., and also, that the same ballot box was removed from the polling place, out of the custody of the proper officers, to the Hamilton House during the time of supper, between the hours of seven and nine o'clock in the evening, and before the ballots had been all counted. SECOND. That ballots containing the name of Adam Carr were abstracted from the ballot box of the Seventh Ward, and ballots containing the name of John Hopper were substituted in place thereof; as also, that ballots upon which the name of Adam Carr was written or printed, were abstracted from the ballot box, and his name erased and then returned to the ballot box." Adam was unsuccessful in his charge of fraudulent voting.
	Carr, Adam: 1868 Republican State Convention
	Carr, Adam: 1869 Real Estate Meeting The NY Herald Tribune ran a story about a meeting of prominent real estate owners and agents held at Derrom's Hall, Paterson to decide what means to take to bring property in and about Paterson to the notice of the New York public. The hall mave have been named after Colonel Andrew Derrom, - (1817 - 1892), of the 25th NJ Infantry during the American Civil War, and an Engineer, Businessman, and Public Servant.
	Carr, Adam: 1870 State Politics At the bottom of The Evening Journal story about state politics is notice that - "Mr. Adam Carr is names in connection with the Republican nomination for Senate in Passaic. Mr. Carr is a man of large intelligence and of the highest chracter."
	Carr, Adam: 1870 US Patent No 110,294 Issued 20 December, 1870 to William Selden of Brooklyn, NY, assignor to Adam Carr of Paterson, NY for improvement in valves for steam engines. The patent is for a design that improves the parts previously patented by making them more easily constructed and kept in repair.
	Carr, Adam: 1870 Patent 110,294 Improvement in Valves for Engines
	Carr, Adam: 1870 Census The census showed Adam (38), a plumber from Scotland living in the 4th Ward of Paterson, NJ along with his wife Sarah (38), Ada (18), William (15), Ella (7), and Henry L (5). Ada and Ella would never marry. Three children died in 1864: Catherine at age 7, Horace Greeley at age 6 and Frances at age 5. Other documents show that his profession is understated. His company, Adam Carr & Co., manufactured brass cocks and iron & galvanized pipes. Eric and Barbara (nee Stockdale) Mann located four US Patents awarded or assigned to Adam Carr in the late 1800's. They are available elsewhere on this website. The patents are associated with steam propulsion and relate directly to his indicated occupation: plumber.
	Carr, Adam: 1873 Contested Seat in the Senate "Mr. Adam Carr, the Republican candidate for Senator in Passaic county, at he recent election, has served upon Mr. John Hopper, who was ostensibly elected by 27 majority, a notice of contest. The grounds upon which he contests Mr. Hopper's right to the seat are fifteen in number. The most important are the following: ..." 1) the ballot box was out of custody, 2) a 7th Ward ballot box was taken from the limits of the Ward,3) Carr's ballots were illegally abstracted from the box of 7th Ward, 4) Carr's name was removed from some 7th Ward ballots, and 5) the judge and clerk of the 7th Ward dined at the expense of a named person which amounted to a bribe.

	Carr, Adam: 1875 Disputed Bill for Gas Fitting Part-2
	Carr, Adam: 1875 Disputed Bill for Gas Fitting Part-3
	Carr, Adam: 1875 Disputed Bill for Gas Fitting The article was titled, "Who Joseph Black Is." was presented in 3 sections elsewhere on this website to support readability. It continues a previous day's coverage of an act of over-billing by Joseph Black acting as agent for Farrier & Garretson in doing work at Snake Hill while Black was also an employee of Adam Carr's. While Adam was not implicated in the billing or party to the work, the interesting aspect of the story is that the bill totaled $25 while the Freeman assert that the bill should have been $12.
	Carr, Adam: 1875 Street Nuisance The "Our Complaint Book" section of the NY Herald Tribune included this submission: To the Editor of the Herald:- For months past the south side of Cortland street, between Merchant's Hotel and Greenwich street, has been continously obstructed, both on the sidewalk and the passageway of the main street, by carts and carmen,and particularly by dealers in iron pipe, Adam Carr & Co. It is impossible for a lady to pass from the ferry through this, one of the best known streets, to Braodway, without danger of either a torn dress or soiling it. Nor can a private or public vehicle pass to the ferry for a train without obstruction and a delay sufficient to cause loss of train. The attention of "best police in the world" has been called to this annoyance and nuisance wthout avail. Can nothing be done in the premises? B.J.D.
	Carr, Adam: 1877 Our Complaint Book - Street Nuisance Dirty Streets - A Serenade To the Editor of the Herald: - I have lately seen so much said about the fearful condition of our streets in your worthy paper that I must come to the rescue and propose a novel method of inducing the gentlemen at the head of the Street Cleaning Department to have the job performed at once. I propose that a serenade should be tendered to those gentlemen by the citizens of New York in front of their private residences, and that all musical instruments necessary for the performance, such as old tin kettles, should be picked out of the ash barrels in front of the houses of said citizens. You will oblige me by publishig this "new idea" in your "Complaint Boob."
	Carr, Adam: 1877 Street Nusances, Obstructions, &c. "Jersey City" complains that Adam Carr & Co. are continually obstructing the sidewalk in Cortlandt street with the unloading and loading of iron pipes filed with grease and oil to the utter destruction of ladies' dreses.
	Carr, Adam: 1877 US Patent No 186,539 Issued 23 January, 1877 to Adam Carr and to James Arthur for improvement in condensing pump engines.
	Carr, Adam: 1878-01-01 Financial Losses Adam Carr, manufacturer of iron pipes, pumps, &c, at No. 43 Cortland streeet, announced to his creditors that he has been obliged to suspend, after a succesfull business career of over twenty-four years. The causes of his failure were mainly the depreciation in values and losses in trade. The liabilities are about $50,000 and the assests will equal that figure if left to continue the business. The assests consist of book accounts, stock in trade and some real estate. A meeting of the creditors has been called to consider the best course to pursue, and it is expected that a settlement will be effected, but at what figure cannot at present be determined. Creditors who were called upon yesterday said that it was deemed best that the business continue, as they could thus realize more than if the assets were sacrificed at forced sale."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-02-02 Mecantile Disasters "One Hundred and Twenty-nine Failures Reported During January - Liabilities over Seven Million Dollars. The mercantile disasters reported in this city during the past month are the largest in number that have occurred in any single month since the memorable panic of 1873....The following is a list of failures reported in the city during the past month, ... "Carr, Adam, machinist, No. 43 Cortlandt street....Assets = $40,00; Liabilities = $55,000."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-04-04 Business Troubles In an article about Business Troubles in the NYC area was this item: "At a meeting of the creditors of Adam Carr, maufacturer of plumbers' supplies, at No. 43 Cortlandt street, and at Passaic, NJ held yestreday, at the office of Register Dwight, the composition of thirty cents on the dollar was confirmed."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-03-07 Bankruptcy proceedings "A meeting of the creditors of Adam Car, amufacturer of plumber's supplies at No. 43 Cortland street, was held yesterday at the office if Register Dwight. Twenty-eight additional claims for $22.00 were proved, making about $32,000 in all. After discussing it was decided to postpone the election of an assignee and action on the offer of composition pending an examination of the bankrupt and his books?"
	Carr, Adam: 1878-03-21 bankruptcy proceedings " A largely attended meeting of creditors of Adam Carr, manufacturer of plumbers' supplies at No. 43 Cortland street, was held yesterday at the office of Register Dayton. There was a close contest for assignee between William S. Carr and Joseph Annen, and as neither candiate received a majority vote the Register made a provisional appointment of John H. Platt. The composition of thirty-three and one-third cents on the dollar as finally accepted."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-11-11 New Patents Granted "Among new patents issued last week to Jerseymen are the following inventors and citizens of this county: .... direct acting engines and pumps, Adam Carr, Paterson and James Arthur, Jersey City, assignors to said Carr, adn said Carr, assignor to Wm. L. (sic) Carr, Jersey City; ...."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-01-29 Business Troubles New Failures Announced and Proceedings by Creditors of Previously Crippled Firms. Adam Carr, manufacturer of plumbers' supplies, at No. 43 Cortland street, and at Passaic, N.J., has been adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt on his own petition by register Dwight. The merchandise liabilities aggregate about $66,000, in addition to which he is liable on various bonds and joint sureties to the extent of over $150,000. The assets are nominally valued at about $40,000, consisting of stock, $10,000; book accounts,$22,000 and the balance is interest in lands, &c. The secured creditors are.... The principal unsecured creditors are...Sarah E.Carr, $7,000...W.S. Carr, & Co., $1,920.12..."
	Carr, Adam: 1878-02 Meeting of Creditors At a meting of the creditors of Adam Carr, manufacturer of plumbers' supplies at No. 43 Cortland street, held at the rooms of the Hardware Board of Trade, the committee previously appointed to investigate the affairs reported in favor of having the estate wound up in bankruptcy, proceedings for that purpose having already been taken. Several propostions were then discussed to avoid going through bankruptcy, and an adjournment was taken in the hope that Mr. Carr would submit an acceptable basis of settlement.
	Carr, Adam: 1878 Business Troubles "At a meeting of the creditors of Adam Carr, manufacturer of plumbers' supplies, at No. 43 Cortland street, and at Passaic, N.J., held yesterday, at the office of Register Dwight, the composition of thirty cents on the dollar was confirmed."
	Carr, Adam: 1879 Court of Appeals Decisions-June 71 "...Carr agt. Woodruff. See memorandum...Adam Carr agt. Stewart: In the matter of 82d-st.-Granted." Well, that isn't much help. Plus, either I transcribed the date wrong in my research, or the article has the wrong year '79 vs. '71.
	Carr, Adam: 1881 Claims Long Island City. - Judgements in favor of the following persons and for the following amounts against the Long Beach Improvement Company have been filed in the Queens County Clerk's office:...Adam Carr $1,418.18..."
	Carr, Adam: 1882 Punching "Dominie Dolly" Mark Twain is quoted in this article about the price to punch an assortment of citizens from "Dominie Dolly" (a nun?) to the Sunday School Superintendent or teacher. "The newspaper man scanned the list. ... For a dime we could punch Adam Carr but since Mr. Carr has got out of politics we have no desire to punch him.... In front of each name (listed) was a round "o", and it cost the amount named to punch with the point of a lead pencil, a hole though the "o" in front of the name."
	Carr, Adam: 1888 - A Horrible Death "Yesterday, in Adam Carr & Co.'s brass foundry, in Paterson, Joseph Class, aged 27, and Henry Durkin, aged 50, were charging the blast furnace. They stood at the top of the cupola and threw down the metal. The fire was burning below, but the blast had not yet been turned on. A big piece of metal became lodged in the cupola. Class tried to start it one way or the other, but in vain.
