Individual Notes
• The ship bearing our ancestors arrived in Boston in early midsummer of 1635 and both of the Carrs are lost to view for about two years.
On Feb. 21, 1638 Robert Carr is mentioned as an inhabitant of the new settlement at Pocassit (now Portsmouth, R. I.). Two years later, on Mar. 16, 1641 he is listed as a freeman in the then forming settlement at Newport, R. I. This last spot, Newport, became the permanent home of Robert Carr. Here he engaged in trade and thrived as is attested by his will which disposed of considerable property.650

• Robert Carr (2) born in London, Eng., Oct. 4, 1614, came to America with his brother Caleb, on the ship Elizabeth Ann, commanded by Capt. Roger Cooper, which sailed from London, May 9, 1635. these two brothers, who were both minors, were sent to America after the death of their parents, to live with their uncle William, who had previously settled in Bristol, R. I. A few years later the two brothers settled in Newport, R. I.651
