Researching My Wilkinson County GA Carr Family

Several years ago, while at the South Carolina Archives, I came across some information on the Carr family that I am related to from Wilkinson County GA.

My 3rd great grandparents are Aaron Carr and Elizabeth Faulk. Possible parents for him are William Carr and Charity (unknown). If you descend from this family, please contact me at the address in the masthead. I would like to compare notes. In the meantime I have posted some of the notes that I found in the source below during that trip to the SC Archives in Columbia.
