Carr-Nelson/ Binion-Gobel and Slack Familys

Thomas Carr was born in 1788, and was  the father of Ezekiel Carr, who is mentioned below. When he first came to the area of Cabin Creek is unknown.  On the 16th day of September 1845, He and his wife, Diana Carr sold a tract of land to Fredrick Coon.  This was land near the residence of the aforementioned Ranson Greenwood, but was now referred to as the "late" Ranson greenwood.  The survey for this tract began at the "dixon ford" on Cabin Creek, apparently in reference to the above mention land of George Dixon. This tract of land contained 1500 acres more or less (kan. co. Deed bk.O pg 300)

There is the possiblity that he is the son of Thomas Carr Sr and Jean Lewis but I have yet to connect them other than there being a grave stone along side theirs that had Thomas Carr engraved on it and the date  of birth as  Jun. 13, 1787 and date of death Apr. 7, 1872. I do know that Thomas died in Peytona on that date and that he was born about 1788..I've never found a complete date of birth for Thomas as of yet.
