Notes for Caleb Carr III:
General Caleb Carr was colonel of a regiment of state militia during the War of 1812, and in 1814, when the call came for every able bodied man to hasten to the defense of Plattsburgh, Col. Carr was foremost in action; but the progress of the troops was so slow, he asked permission of the commanding general to take 1500 men and hasten on the Plattsburgh with all possible dispatch.The permission was granted and he arrived there in time to help turn the tide of battle in our favor, while the balance of the troops did not arrive until the battle was all over.For this meritorious conduct on the part of Col. Carr, he was promoted to the generalship of all the state militia, which rank he held as long as he lived.He also was a member of the state legislature one term.
He moved to Williamstown, New York in 1828, where he died Feb. 6, 1840.
He was also an innkeeper in Stephentown Center.
General Carr is listed as a member of Friendship Lodge #95 in Stephentown, NY in 1828, along with his brother, Joshua. The Masonic Friendship Lodge #95 was instituted Sept. 1, 1802. Between June 1827 and 1828, there were 25 members registered.The Masonic Order, founded on the Bible, complemented the Bible, teaching all church members to "live in peace and fellowship with their Masonick brethern."The Lodge was dissolved on March 13, 1837.(From Stephentown Historic Album #3)

Individuals : Martha WHEELOCK
Notes for *Martha Wheelock:
All information was researched at LDS. We feel that Ephraim Pratt must have had another wife, after Martha Wheelock, as her death date appears as 1720, and all of these children were born after that. Also, the marriage date is later than her death. We will check further on this. For now all of the children will be listed, because they are the children of Ephraim, if not Martha.
Oct. 24, 1999 - in e-mail message from Jayne Pratt Lovelace, author of The Pratt Directory :
"Unfortunately, there seems to be no record of Martha Wheelock Pratt's death, not as "wife of Ephraim: and not as a "Martha" in any published Mass. Vital Record.My guess is that she died about 1750, or shorlty before her husband moved to Shutesbury."
According to Michael A. Hunter, Martha died about 1814 in Shutesbury, Mass.

Robert Carr born in London, England, Oct. 4, 1614, came to America with his brother Caleb, on the ship Elizabeth Ann, commanded by Capt. Roger Cooper, which sailed from Londan May 9, 1635.From an old shipping record in London, we find the following:"Calebb Carr, aged 19, and Robert Carr, aged 21, described as a "tayler", sailed for New England, on the 9th of May, 1635, in the "Elizabeth Ann."These two brothers who were both minors, were sent America after the death of their parents, to live with their uncle William, who had previously settled in Bristol, R.I.

Notes for William Carr:
William and wife Susan Rothchild came to America in the fall of 1621, in the ship Fortune, Capt. Roger Williams, with thirty-five passengers on board.They landed at Plymouth, Nov. 7, 1621. They stayed the following winter in Plymouth, and on June 1, 1622, they started in a south-westerly direction through the trackless wilderness with an Indian for a guide, and after a journey on foot of forty-eight days, they located a home, July 18, 1622, where the town of Bristol, Rhode Island was afterward built. The town was laid out and named in 1636, by Roger Williams.(from the Carr Family Records, by Edson I. Carr)

Notes for Susan Rothchild:
"The following extract of historical interest, is taken from Mrs. William Carr's diary which is still preserved with the records of the family"
'It was a summer day in 1621, as I stood upon our ship's deck beside my husband with my infant son closely folded to my breast, while our noble captain, Roger Williams, stood by our side. I took a last view forever of my native isle, and forever bid it adieu, and all the scenes of my childhood home.My heard ached while bitter tears blinded my eyes.Never shall I forget the scenes of that day, as we took a last farewell of our friends with many promises that they would soon join us in America.
Then the order was given by our captain to cast off our moorings, and our ship stood out in the Thames. After all sails were spread we took our course down the river. Each spot along its banks was dear to my soul, and while I was sad, the passengers, there being thirty-five, were singing and making merry that they were going to America.I could not join them for my heart was very sad.
We had a pleasant sail down the Thames.Still I gazed upon my native isle with tearful eyes, and watched it when far out at sea, until the last receeding mountainvanished from my view.Our voyage was very pleasant for twenty days out to sea and then we encountered a storm which lasted all the afternoon and following night.The weather was pleasant the rest of the way, and on the 6th day of November, 1621, the anchor was cast at dark some way out at sea for fear of unseen rocks.
Next morning the boats were lowered and we landed, but what was my surprise! Lucinda, George Carr's wife, had died early in the spring before. (George and Lucinda had coome to America in 1620, on the Mayflower, as a ship carpenter) My husband and George, his brother and myself went to view her resting place. There with tearful eyes, I viewed the last resting place of poor Lucinda Devonport, whom I had known in England.She had died in a foreign land of privation and cold, and was buried side by side with many others who had shared the same fate. My heart sank within me to think that I should never see Lucinda again. I had anticipated many happy hours with her, but my youthful hopes were forever blasted!
We lived with brother George through the winter, living mostly on what game we caught.It was a cold, tedious winter with deep snow.Fame was plenty such as deer and moose.
OnJune 1, 1622, husband started south-west for a warmer climate, with a pocket compass and an Indian guide. Brother George went a two days' journey with us, and then returned home. I carried my son George in my arms and on my back through a dense forest settled only with wild beasts and Indians, but we met with few of the former and none of the latter.After being forty-eight days on our journey, July 18, husband concluded to stopand build a log cabin and settle for life.In four days, husband, the Indian and myself, finished our log cabin, covering it with poles and peeled bark.My journey through the forest and the hard labor I had done in helping build our cabin, had its effect on me, I felt nearly worn out.
I had left my rich parents and my only brother, Robert in England, and had faced the storms and perils of the ocean with my noble companion, and had traveled with him forty eight days through the forest. To my companion I had given my early love and pledged my hand for life.. He was ever kind to me.We both belonged to the society of Friends (Mormans).
Before leaving England, father gave me 100 pounds in gold coin, my brothergave me two doubloons in gold.This gold coin sewed into the wadding of my petticoat.Mother gave me her gold diamond ring which cost 16 pounds.She took her gold watch from her pocket and gave it to me.It cost 25 pounds.She also gave me her gold locket and the gold chain that she wore with her watch, and gade me keep them to remember her by.The locket cost 10 pounds and I lost it in my journey through the wilderness in coming here, but it was found by an Indian hunter in 1625 and returned to me.I had many happy days hunting deer with husband, as there was plenty of them in the forest but I often thought of home and the dear ones there.
Mr. William Codle joined us in 1628, with his wife, son and daughter from England.They belonged to the society of Friends.
In 1635, Robert and Caleb Carr, (Caleb later became Governor of Rhode Island) husband's brother Benjamin Carr's two sone, were sent over from London to live with their Uncle William, my husband.We had fine times hunting with the Indians, they were very friendly to us.Our bedding and clothing were nearly all skins and furs like the Indians, but in all these years I was mindful to educate my son George, although we were in a nameless wilderness.
In 1636, Capt. Roger Williiams, who had abandoned the sea, moved from Salem (Mass.) bringing with him a colony of Friends, and settled with us, and set up a school free for all, young and old. The same year he bounded the state and called it Rhode Island and named our place Bristol. He also surveyed and laid out towns and gave them names.
A meeting was held at our cabin and we offered up oour humble thanks to God, that we had met on this side of the ocean in a free land, beyond the persecution of Great Britain.How my heart thanked God that our noble captain who brought us safely across the ocean, had come to live with us, and preach and teach us to love God and to keep his commandments."

Notes for *Edward "Twice Baked" Wightman:
The following is a story written by a distant relative and fellow genealogist, Samantha Casey. She lives in Oregon and is related through several lines of old New England families who married in and out of our family. The relationship is actually through the Carr and Whitman families.
"TWICE BAKED"
"Edward Wightman has the rather unenvied distinction of being the last of the religious martyrs in England to be burned at the stake.He was a Separatist (the same religion as the Mayflower passengers followed), which did not go over well with the Church of England, the ONLY accepted religion of England back in the early 1600's.
Preaching his "heresies" quickly got the attention of the authorities, including King James I himself, who issued the order for his execution.On the appointed date, Edward was taken to the stake, tied up and set on fire.Immediately he started screaming (can't imagine WHY!) and shouting out unintelligible words.For some strange reason, the townsfolk and the sheriffs got it into their heads that he was recanting his religious beliefs, so they quickly doused out the flames, untied him and cooled him off.
One released, he continued to preached his heresies, even more strongly than before, so a few days later they tied him back to the stake, and THIS time burned him to ashes. (One of my friends upon hearing this story dubbed him my "twice-baked" ancestor.)
The following is a copy of the written order issued by the King for the death of Edward Wightman.The language alone is worth a giggle.
'The King to the sheriff of our city of Litchfield, Greeting.Whereas, the reverend father in Christ, Richard, by divine providence, of Coventry and Litchfield, Bishop, hath signified unto us, that he judicially proceeding, addording to the exigence of ecclesiastical canons and of the laws and suctoms of this kingdom of Burton-upon-Trent, in the diocese of Coventry and Litchfield, of and upon the wicked heresies of Ebion, Cirinthus, Valintian, Arrius, Macedonius, Simon, Mangun, of Manes, Manichees, Photinus and of the Anabaptists, and other archheriticks; and moreover of other cursed opinions, belched by the instance of Satan, excogitated and here to fore unheard of; the aforesaid EDWARD WIGHTMAN appearing before the aforesaid reverend father, and other divines and learned in the law, assisting him in judgment, the aforesaid wicked crimes, heresies and other detestable blasphemies and errors, stubbornly and perniciously, knowingly and maliciously, and with a hardened heart, published, defended and dispersed, and by definite sentence of the said divine father, with the consent of divines, learned in the law aforesaid, justly, lawfully and cononically, against the said EDWARD WIGHTMAN in that part brought, stands adjudged and pronounced a heretick, and therefore as a diseased sheep be cast out, and cut off.Whereas, the holy mother church hath not further in this part what it ought more to do and prosecute, the same reverend father hath left to our secular power the same EDWARD WIGHTMAN as a blasphemous and condemned heritick to be punished with the condign punishment as by the letters patent of the aforesaid reverend father, the bishop of Coventry and Litchfield, in this befalf thereupon made, as certified unto us inout Chancery.We, Therefore, as the zealot of justice and the defender of the Catholick faith, and willing to holy church, and the rights and liberties of the same, and the Catholick faith to maintain and defend, and such like heresies and errors everwhere, so convict and condemn to punish with consign punishment, holding that such a heritick in the aforesaid form convicted and condemned, according to the customs and laws of this our Kingdom of England in this part accustomed, out to be burned with fire.We command thee that thou cause the said EDWARD WIGHTMAN, being in they custody, to be committed to fire in some publick and open place below the city aforesaid, for the cause aforesaid before people; and the same EDWARD WIGHTMAN in the same fire cause really to be furend in destation of said crime, and for the manifest example of other Christians, that they may not fall into the same crime.And this no ways omit, under the peril that shall follow thereon."
All of that to say burn him at the stake!!
EDWARD WIGHTMAN was burned at the stake on April 11, 1612, for heresy.He was the last person in England to die in such a way.
