Disputed Identity

A prior version of this profile identified her as Mary Garland, based on a database entry in the Ancestry database version of Yates, "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900," which identifies a marriage between a Thomas Carr and Mary Garland in 1655, citing only "Source number: 1106.004; Source type: Pedigree chart." There is no evidence other than the common name to indicate that this is the same Thomas Carr, and the Yates index is not considered a < reliable source > for pre-1700 profiles managed by the < Southern Colonies Project > . See this < G2G discussion > for an explanation why.

According to Wilson Miles Cary, “Carr Family,” The William and Mary Quarterly 8 (1899): 106–108, at 106-7; digital images, JSTOR http://www.jstor.org/stable/1915910 : accessed 4 Aug 2021)., the identity of William Carr’s spouse is unknown.[2] She was not “Mary Garland”.
