The Carr family are of Scotch descent, the progenitor of the family in America, of which the subject of this sketch is a representative, having been Caleb Carr, who emigrated from London in the year 1635, sailing for Boston in the ship 'Elizabeth and Ann', when but eleven years of age.  Three years later he settled in Carr's lane, Newport, and subsequently became the owner of much land.  He was three times married, and left to his son, Nicholas, an extensive tract on Conanicut island, which is still owned and occupied by representatives of the family.  Another son, John, great-grandfather of George Washington Carr, Jr., married Waite, daughter of Peter Easton.
