About Richard H. Carr
Richard Carr
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80619828
From []http://www.selectsurname.com/carr.html
Left his home in Oxfordshire in 1837 as a young man to wander the Americas.
"From his diaries we read that he spent time in Texas, Alabama, and Illinois; he worked as a deck hand on the Columbus sailing from New Orleans to Cuba; and later left the country for New York. While there, according to his diary, he walked from New York to Philadelphia and back in seven days – a distance of 180 miles."
He ended up on Vancouver island in 1863 where he and his family eventually settled down. His home there - now the Emily Carr House - was where his daughter Emily, who became famous in Canada for her paintings and writings of the Pacific Northwest, grew up.
