  Carr, James: 1842 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.
