The insanity that is Elizabeth Faulk-Brazeal-Carr

This genealogy has been a mess since the first day I started researching my Aaron Carr -> Elizabeth A. Carr-Meredith-Smith line. 

I am very close to publishing the truth, but the tree shown below illustrates the problem and lack of understand about Aaron Carr's first and subsequent wive. Yes, he did have two and NO they are not the same regardless of what some researchers claim. Wife two he married in 1851 could not and was not the mother of the children he fathered in 1825-1835. That I am almost entirely confident was Elizabeth Faulk, the daughter of James Faulk and Sarah (possibly Needham) who was born in 1807 and died sometime around 1835. She did not live until 1906 as claimed by some including the Find-A-Grave memorial for her online. That was his second wife he married in 1851 that lived until 1906. Two completely different women.

But don't take my word for it. Click to enlarge the document below and you will see that the claims by some Carr/Faulk family researchers are absurd. 


If you have this line up in your tree, I'm sorry but it is wrong. More on the Carr-Faulk family very soon. I have a few more details to iron out before I can call that lineage complete.
