We are the descendants of Prof. Francis Carr (1833-1896) and Mary Ann McParland (18??-1920). Francis and Mary had seven children, four of whom survived to adulthood. Mary Jane and Theresa Ann made the journey from New York to California with their parents. After settling in Millville, two sons were born. Francis Christopher was born on December 1, 1875, and William Peter was born on September 28, 1878. Most of us who attend the Carr reunions are descendants of their eldest son, Judge Francis Carr (1875-1944). He lived in Shasta County his entire life, which is why we feel a kinship there.
