19 SEP 2018: I regret that this site is no longer open to the public without a sign-on. Some time last week the entity behind IP address 216.244.66.233 began a 24-hour a day effort to capture every bit of data on the site. Every second or two the automated system moved from individual file to individual file. All efforts to stop the automated collection of data failed. Such abuse is costly to me - after all, there is a fee associated with running the website. I was forced to lock the site which requires a user log-on. I readily grant access except when it is obvious the request is from a spammer. If honest users would like to view the data, I urge you to please submit a request for access and provide a note about how you link into the tree. Thanks for your understanding.
10 SEP 2018: I have updated the data tables for the first time since April. I had every intention of performing an update in July when we moved into a temporary residence, but all manner of excuse found its way into my schedule. Included in today's update are a number of census records and death certificates. Invariably, along with new census records are new individuals. Today's update was not with a brief refresher on how to use the the update process. The lesson learned there is to update more frequently. I have not been able to implement a new mapping MOD. I will continue to work on that issue.
20 JUN 2018: After the website was shut down by my host server because bots were consuming too much bandwidth (while stealing site data & files), I implemented a sign-in requirement before visitors can see photos and documents. Source references are still available without a sign-in. Viewers can request a user account at this link.
29 May 2018: For about ten years this website has used the Google mapping function to display geographic locations. Regretfully, last month Google began charging $250/month for access to the mapping function. I am investigating alternative mapping options.
08 April 2018: I finally got about to updating the site with information gleaned over the last three months. Sorry for the delay. I am headed out of town tomorrow to see my first grandchild, Caroline Dawn Carr.
28 DEC 2017: The tree was been upgraded with roughly 80 death certificates and 280 census records
08 SEP 2017: I regret that I have had to deny access to users because my website host cannot help stop bots from stealing data. I will attempt to resolve the problem when I return home in mid-October.
23 MAY 2017: While waiting for foot problems to resolve themselves before resuming the Appalachian Trail hike, I added another 500 census records and 100+ death certificates. And countless Find-a-Grave links. In the last couple of days I found a relative who first flew for the US, then the RCAF, then the RAF and finally for the US again. His P-51B Mustang was shot down over France in mid-1944 so he spent the rest of the war in at least three separate a POW camps: 1LT Herbert Blanchfield. I plan to resume the hike in a matter of days... Oh yes; I added to the list of IPs that are permanently blocked from vising the site. If you can read this note, you very likely were not on that list of banned IPs.
07 APR 2017: In-between a couple of weeks on the Appalachian Trail I have managed to link just over 500 US Census records. Also added have been several photos and documents. Lastly, I have added a count of "Close relationships" that can be seen on the Relationship tab on any individual's page. There are only 9 such "cousin" marriages in the tree; all of which are found in farm communities. See Cousin Marriages.
19 DEC 2016: The database was refreshed today with two months of research. Roughly 30 new death certificates and scores of census records have been transcribed. A Table of Descendants was added to Descendants tab. It sits on the red option row when Descendants is selected. The count of children, grand-children, great-grand-children, etc. is select-able as is the number of generations.
17 OCT 2016: I have updated the full database. Find-a-Gave memorials (9,200) are now located in the burial events - logically - and not as another event. More Census records, persons, and documents were linked. iPhone performance remains suspect. User/visitor feedback is more than welcome! Administrative orphans - persons with absolutely no known relatives in the tree - were deleted from the site.
19 SEP 2016: I have very belatedly discovered a large number of persons who have become un-linked from a parent, sibling, or spouse. They are for lack of a better term - administrative orphans. I am working diligently to resolve those errors. Some are simply duplicates; regardless they all need to be resolved.
03 SEP 2016: The site has been upgraded to TNG version 11. I am working to resolve display issues that are apparent on iPad and smart phones.
26 AUG 2016: After taking a long while to resolve some technical issues with the PC version of the tree, the website was updated today. There is good news in that I did not completely forget the new procedures learned in the last update! I have tested a further upgrade on my PC that will be migrated to this site soon. It will offer better performance on handheld devices, e.g., iPhone and iPad.
05 JUN 2016: Well, I have learned a new trick for updating the website. (See the 04 June note below.) The database has been updated. Please advise me if you run into a problem with the presentation of a person's data.
04 JUN 2016: I am having a technical problem with the website - database updates are not working the way I have accomplished them for the last several years. I am working on solutions with help from smarter, more skilled folks…. Thus far, one fix didn’t work and the 2nd is a bit of a challenge.
22 APR 2016: GEDCOM was updated which included several new cemeteries, memorials, and records.
17 MAR 2016: Several Cemeteries were added with known family burials. Numerous Find-a-Grave memorials were linked to individuals.
28 FEB 2016: Added birth reports. Focusing on WWI, WWI draft records and WWII enlistment records. The Census MOD is under repair.
16 FEB 2016: Added an even 540 Find-a-Grave memorials. Improved the Military reports.
03 FEB 2016: Resolved numerous discrepancies in birth dates; added several hundred Find-a-Grave links
26 JAN 2016: GEDCOM update.
22 DEC 2015: Additional census records, photos, and documents added as well as people.
05 NOV 2015: Census count=4629; death certificate count=1294; photos added. Regretfully I had to add a restriction to the media files since bots have stolen the work without citation or approval. If you would like access to those files, please Register for a User Account in the left menu and reflect your family relationship.
10 OCT 2015: Added a 'Count' to the right-end of an individual's Descendants tab; data is displayed by generation as shown below.
Louis Drury CARR b. 24 JUN 1899 d. 24 JAN 1986
Relationship Descendants / Spouses / Total
1. Self 1 1 2
2. Children 3 4 7
3 . Grandchildren 18 17 35
4. Great grandchildren 27 93 6
5. G-Great grandchildren 4 0 4
Total 53 31 84
02 OCT 2015: Census count = 4427; death certificate count =1203; photos added.
28 AUG 2015: Added surnames statistics to the Statistics menu. Added corresponding surname cloud to the bottom of the home page.
17 AUG 2015: Census count >= 4000; additional death certificates added.
23 JUL 2015: Additional Census records, documents, and photos added.
11 JUL 2015: Made the long awaited upgrade to enable use on mobile devices: iPad, iPhone, etc. (lost the Research links as a consequence - and, unfortunately, not all mobile features are working properly)
10 JUL 2015: Census count = 3500 and counting...
14 APR 2015: Improved the format of the Help page.
09 APR 2015: Re-linked another 300 census records for 1900 (e.g., William Seward Carr) and added the various media indicated below
10 MAR 2014: Added new reports with explanations on the Report Tab pages.
- Burials, cemeteries and grave memorials.
- Military service in the Civil War (CSA & GAR), WWI,
WWII, Korea & Vietnam. (Reported only if records are annotated in the
military service event.) - Family changes. (If a family was added or persons were
added to a family in the last 90-days.)

 | 2nd Infantry Division (2ID) Omaha Beach: 1944 JUN 07
This classic photo of 2ID soldiers climbing up the slope from Omaha Beach was enlarged and hung on a wall in the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA. Veeta (Scott) Biggers visited the museum in January 2016 and as she glanced up at the photo, the second soldier in the column looking at the photographer drew her attention. While there may be no way to confirm his identification to an absolute certainty, she was convinced that it was her father, SSG John Edgar Scott, who was with the 702 Ordnance Company, 2ID on that very day! |

The P-47 was photographed on an airstrip; presumably at Debden, England. It was the aircraft with "Uncle Den" nose art. It was not the aircraft that 1LT Blanchfield flew on his last mission. The 334th Squadron transitioned from P-47C into the P-51 aircraft in May 1944. |

 | Leverett, Columbus A: circa 1918 Fordson tractor
Fordson was a combination of Ford and Son. According to Gas Engine Magazine, "Production of the Fordson tractor started in Dearborn in 1917, but the first 7000 units were made for England and it was not until the spring of 1918 that American farmers were able to buy the model." |

This was the home of C.A Leverett and his family from about 1911 until 1926 when it was sold and the family moved closer into the town of McKinny, TX. This picture was taken by Barbara Ann Howard in 1983 when she was researching in the area. This house was about 2700 sq feet and had numerous out buildings; smoke house, wash house, root cellar, barns, poultry bldgs, etc. There was a large cistern on the back porch to catch rain water. |

 | 672nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion shoulder patch
Unit History: "Established June 19, 1943 at Camp Hood, Texas. On Apr. 15, 1944, while stationed at Fort Ord, California, the unit was re-designated as the 672th Amphibian Tractor Battalion. They sailed from the San Francisco Port of Embarkation on Sep. 23, 1944 and landed at Bougainville Island, on Oct. 9, 1944. The unit was attached to the 37th Infantry Division. It carried troops ashore in the assault landing on Jan 9, 1945, at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon, Philippine Islands. It supported both the 37th Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division in the drive south to Manila. In February, 1945, it was attached to the 11th Airborne Division for the mission to capture the Los Banos prisoner camp and release of its civilian internees on Feb. 23, 1945. Moved to Morotai, in June, 1945, the battalion was attached to the 1st Australian Division and one company from the Battalion carried troops ashore in the assault landing at Balikpapan Borneo, landing on Jul. 1, 1945. They shipped back to the U.S., landing at the San Francisco port on Dec. 24, 1945. The unit was deactivated, at Camp Stoneman, CA on Dec. 24, 1945. Text updated with information from Lt Col. Joseph A. Gibbs (Ret.)."

 | Prince, Walie Benton: 1946 and brother Tom
Walie appears to be wearing the tank destroyer sharpshooter patch above his right pocket. He probably earned that patch before his unit was converted from the 672nd Tank Destroyer Battalion to the 672nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion. The picture was taken after he redeployed from the western pacific. The picture was likely taken in January. His bother Tom enlisted in late 1945 and does not appear to have been deployed overseas since there are no accoutrements on his uniform. |

 | Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P6
Louis enlisted in the NYU Army Student Training Corps (ASTC) on 01 October 1918 and was honorably discharged on December 19. Many WWI records were destroyed in the 12 July 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In the following years the veteran's records would be reconstituted using auxiliary records - Louis's records were reconstituted using the NYU payroll records. He is one of 16 privates on the linked payroll. He was recorded receiving #42.60 in pay for the period to include $6.40 for a Quartermaster allotment - possibly for the return of unused books, equipment or clothing. The story of the short-lived SATC is worth researching - its duration was not much longer than the period of Louis's enlistment. |

Samuel Gosse, a 68 year old shoemaker, was manifested on the SS Newfoundland that sailed from St John's S.N.F on August 11th, 1929. The manifest indicates Samuel can read & write, was born in Torbay, Newfoundland and issued a visa in St John's on 8/8/29. Although a citizen of Nfld., his permanent residence is shown as Dorchester, USA. His estimated birth date of 1860 suggests that he may not be Samuel Gosse, s/o William Gosse. |

 | Leverett, Nicholas T: 2011 Confederate Veteran
When Nicholas Thompkins Leverett was first added to the family tree I knew only that NT was the great-great-grandfather of my bride, Lana (Scott) Carr and that he was a Confederate veteran. Initially, I was satisfied with that limited knowledge and did not pursue more detail. After writing and posting a story to CarrFamilyTree.com about Lana's father, MSG John Edgar Scott, I sought more information about NT. |

Clara's cremated remains were discovered in 2008 by the occupant of a home in Orem, Utah. That find enabled Clara to be returned to her family - even if the details of how she got lost in the first place remain but a guess. The story at the link is the result of collaboration by two researchers on opposite sides of her marriage. |

Then in September 1942, two battalions left Ireland for England and additional training with British units. In October the two battalions again boarded ships as part of Operation Torch - combat operations in North Africa. |

 | Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Educator and Grand Knight
Initially this biography, based simply upon memories, was a single page long and thus proved to be a great disappointment to say the least - surely more could be learned with a modicum of effort! After researching his WWI service - which proved to be an education in itself - many other details fell into place. As with the other histories on this website - all veterans - I am indebted to family members for their contributions - the errors are all mine and will be corrected when brought to my attention. |

 | Pate, James Elvie: 1944 A Tough 'Ombre
In December 1941, James Elvie Pate was a 32-year-old, single ranch hand on the Tommy Brook Ranch in west Texas and a base violin player in a local band. By April 1942 he had joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to the 90th Infantry Division – the Tough ‘Ombres. Two years later he was a married sergeant aboard a ship passing by the Statue of Liberty - bound for England and eventual participation in the landings on Utah Beach. Four days following that landing and within several miles of the beach he was wounded and sent back to England for treatment. Upon return to France he fought in the operation known as the Falaise Pocket. Just days before that battle was won, Sergeant Pate paid the ultimate sacrifice. Years later his only sister fought to have her Tough ‘Ombre returned home to Texas.
The story of Sergeant Pate's service reflects the great care his niece took to collect and retain artifacts of his service and her graciousness in sharing them with the author.
