As I find more information I will add it. Right now I am trying to trace Syrus Carr and Nancy Jackson. Syrus Carr probably was born in Virginia in 1830 and was a slave. He married Nancy Jackson, who was born in 1870 in Texas and supposedly of Cherokee descent, in Brazoria Texas in 1884. They had 11 children one of which was my grandmother. If you have any information on them, Blacks in Brazoria, Texas or the the Carrs in Virginia (white, slave owners or black, slaves), please email melainieo@bigfoot.com
