GO INTO THE COUNTRY TOMORROW: in his financial records under 27 June, TJ recorded paying 68 ½ cents for ferriage “to & from the Carrs.” It is not clear which members of the Carr family TJ met with that day, nor where or why the visit took place. It may have been at the residence of his nephew, Samuel Carr, or his in-law, Overton Carr, both of whom resided near Washington. The visit probably related to the pending marriage of another nephew, Dabney Carr, who married Elizabeth Carr the following day, 28 June. Like his brother Samuel, Dabney married one of Overton Carr’s daughters (MB description begins James A. Bear, Jr., and Lucia C.
