George Carr married by 1642, Elizabeth ____. She died at Salisbury 6 May 1691 "or thereabout."
They had ten children: Elizabeth Woodmansey, George, Richard, William, James, Mary Bailey, Sarah Baker, John, Richard again, & Ann Putnam.
Elizabeth Carr, widow of George, deposed 27 Jun 1682 that "My daughters were four, Elizabeth was taken when she was but about 3 years old by my Brother and Sister Oliver as their own, and when John Woodmance did marry her he said that he would not take her as our daughter but as my Brother Oliver's child and as my Sister Oliver did tell me he the said Woodmance had about five hundred pounds with her...and Sarah the wife of Thomas Baker lived with her Uncle Oliver from the age of eight years until she was married." James Oliver, aged 64, deposed 27 Jun 1682 that "Elizabeth Carr, the eldest child of his brother-in-law George Carr, lived with him from infancy." She could fit in the 1620-1624 gap between the 4th & 5th children born to the family of THOMAS OLIVER {1632, Boston}, but it is more likely that she was a daughter of THOMAS DEXTER, whose daughter Mary married first John Friend & then James Oliver.
