24 JAN 2020: I have had no success to date resolving the FTP limitations. The good news is I still have internet access.
20 SEP 2018: I have
updated the data tables for the first time since April. I had every intention
of performing an update in July when we moved into a temporary residence, but
all manner of excuse found its way into my schedule. Included in today's update
are a number of census records and death certificates. Invariably, along with
new census records are new individuals. Today's update was not with a brief
refresher on how to use the the update process. The lesson learned there is to
update more frequently. I have not been able to implement a new mapping MOD. I
will continue to work on that issue.
20 JUN 2018: After the website
was shut down by my host server because bots were consuming too much bandwidth
(while stealing site data & files), I implemented a sign-in requirement
before visitors can see photos and documents. Source references are still
available without a sign-in. Viewers can request a user account at this link.
29 May 2018: For about ten
years this website has used the Google mapping function to display geographic
locations. Regretfully, last month Google began charging $250/month for access
to the mapping function. I am investigating alternative mapping options.
08 April 2018: I finally got about
to updating the site with
information gleaned over the last three months. Sorry for the delay. I am headed
out of town tomorrow to see my first grandchild, Caroline Dawn Carr.
28 DEC 2017: The tree was been
upgraded with roughly 80 death certificates and 280 census records
08 SEP 2017: I regret that I have
had to deny access to users because my website host cannot help stop bots from
stealing data. I will attempt to resolve the problem when I return home in
mid-October.
23 MAY 2017: While waiting for foot
problems to resolve themselves before resuming the Appalachian Trail hike, I
added another 500 census records and 100+ death certificates. And countless Find-a-Grave links. In the last couple of days I found a
relative who first flew for the US, then the RCAF, then the RAF and finally for
the US again. His P-51B Mustang was shot down over France in mid-1944 so he
spent the rest of the war in at least three separate a POW camps: 1LT Herbert Blanchfield. I plan to
resume the hike in a matter of days... Oh
yes; I added to the list of IPs that are permanently blocked from vising the
site. If you can read this note, you very likely were not on that list of
banned IPs.
07 APR 2017: Added a MOD that
reflects "close relationship" in marriages, such as 1st cousins, 2nd
cousins, etc. See Relationship tab on any individual's page.

site. If you can read this note, you very likely were not on that list of
banned IPs.
07 APR
2017: In-between a couple of weeks on the
Appalachian Trail I have managed to link just over 500 US Census records. Also
added have been several photos and documents. Lastly, I have added a
count of "Close relationships" that can be seen on the Relationship
tab on any individual's page. There are only 9 such "cousin"
marriages in the tree; all of which are found in farm communities. See Cousin Marriages.
19 DEC
2016: The database was refreshed today with
two months of research. Roughly 30 new death certificates and scores of census
records have been transcribed. A Table of Descendants was added to Descendants
tab. It sits on the red option row when Descendants is selected. The count of children,
grand-children, great-grand-children, etc. is select-able as is the number of
generations.
17 OCT
2016: I have updated the full database.
Find-a-Gave memorials (9,200) are now located in the burial events - logically
- and not as another event. More Census records, persons, and documents were
linked. iPhone performance remains suspect. User/visitor feedback is more than
welcome! Administrative orphans - persons with absolutely no known
relatives in the tree - were deleted from the site.
19 SEP
2016: I have very belatedly discovered a
large number of persons who have become un-linked from a parent, sibling, or
spouse. They are for lack of a better term - administrative orphans. I
am working diligently to resolve those errors. Some are simply duplicates;
regardless they all need to be resolved.
03 SEP
2016: The site has been upgraded to TNG
version 11. I am working to resolve display issues that are apparent on iPad
and smart phones.
26 AUG
2016: After taking a long while to resolve
some technical issues with the PC version of the tree, the website was updated
today. There is good news in that I did not completely forget the new
procedures learned in the last update! I have tested a further upgrade on my PC
that will be migrated to this site soon. It will offer better performance on
handheld devices, e.g., iPhone and iPad.
05 JUN
2016: Well, I have learned a new trick for
updating the website. (See the 04 June note below.) The database has been
updated. Please advise me if you run into a problem with the presentation of a
person's data.
04 JUN
2016: I am having a technical problem with
the website - database updates are not working the way I have accomplished them
for the last several years. I am working on solutions with help from smarter,
more skilled folks…. Thus far, one fix didn’t work and the 2nd is a
bit of a challenge.
22 APR
2016: GEDCOM was updated which included
several new cemeteries, memorials, and records.
17 MAR
2016: Several Cemeteries were added with known family burials.
Numerous Find-a-Grave memorials were linked to individuals.
28 FEB
2016: Added birth reports. Focusing on
WWI, WWI draft records and WWII enlistment records. The Census MOD is under
repair.
16 FEB
2016: Added an even 540 Find-a-Grave
memorials. Improved the Military reports.
03 FEB
2016: Resolved numerous discrepancies in
birth dates; added several hundred Find-a-Grave links
26 JAN
2016: GEDCOM update.
22 DEC
2015: Additional census records, photos,
and documents added as well as people.
05 NOV
2015: Census count=4629; death certificate
count=1294; photos added. Regretfully
I had to add a restriction to the media files since bots have stolen the
work without citation or approval. If you would like access to those files,
please Register for a User
Account in the left menu
and reflect your family relationship.
10 OCT
2015: Added a 'Count' to the right-end of
an individual's Descendants tab; data is displayed by generation as shown

3500 and counting...
14 APR 2015: Improved the format

WWII. (Reported only if CSA/GAR/WWI/WWII are annotated in the military
service event.) - Family changes. (If a family was added or persons were
added to a family in the last 90-days.)
Dec 2013: Photos and documents
are once more linked at the bottom of the relevant person's page.
Dec 2013: A new feature hides all
but the first line of Event fields containing multiple lines. Those fields are
marked with a white triangle.
Jul 2013: A new feature tabulates
content of a displayed, US Census record. An example: William Seward Carr.

 | 2nd Infantry Division (2ID) Omaha Beach: 1944 JUN 07
This classic photo of 2ID soldiers climbing up the slope from Omaha Beach was enlarged and hung on a wall in the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA. Veeta (Scott) Biggers visited the museum in January 2016 and as she glanced up at the photo, the second soldier in the column looking at the photographer drew her attention. While there may be no way to confirm his identification to an absolute certainty, she was convinced that it was her father, SSG John Edgar Scott, who was with the 702 Ordnance Company, 2ID on that very day! |

The P-47 was photographed on an airstrip; presumably at Debden, England. It was the aircraft with "Uncle Den" nose art. It was not the aircraft that 1LT Blanchfield flew on his last mission. The 334th Squadron transitioned from P-47C into the P-51 aircraft in May 1944. |

 | Leverett, Columbus A: circa 1918 Fordson tractor
Fordson was a combination of Ford and Son. According to Gas Engine Magazine, "Production of the Fordson tractor started in Dearborn in 1917, but the first 7000 units were made for England and it was not until the spring of 1918 that American farmers were able to buy the model." |

 | Woodlawn Home of C.A. Leverett in 1983
This was the home of C.A Leverett and his family from about 1911 until 1926 when it was sold and the family moved closer into the town of McKinny, TX. This picture was taken by Barbara Ann Howard in 1983 when she was researching in the area. This house was about 2700 sq feet and had numerous out buildings; smoke house, wash house, root cellar, barns, poultry bldgs, etc. There was a large cistern on the back porch to catch rain water. |

 | 672nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion shoulder patch
Unit History: "Established June 19, 1943 at Camp Hood, Texas. On Apr. 15, 1944, while stationed at Fort Ord, California, the unit was re-designated as the 672th Amphibian Tractor Battalion. They sailed from the San Francisco Port of Embarkation on Sep. 23, 1944 and landed at Bougainville Island, on Oct. 9, 1944. The unit was attached to the 37th Infantry Division. It carried troops ashore in the assault landing on Jan 9, 1945, at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon, Philippine Islands. It supported both the 37th Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division in the drive south to Manila. In February, 1945, it was attached to the 11th Airborne Division for the mission to capture the Los Banos prisoner camp and release of its civilian internees on Feb. 23, 1945. Moved to Morotai, in June, 1945, the battalion was attached to the 1st Australian Division and one company from the Battalion carried troops ashore in the assault landing at Balikpapan Borneo, landing on Jul. 1, 1945. They shipped back to the U.S., landing at the San Francisco port on Dec. 24, 1945. The unit was deactivated, at Camp Stoneman, CA on Dec. 24, 1945. Text updated with information from Lt Col. Joseph A. Gibbs (Ret.)."

 | Prince, Walie Benton: 1946 and brother Tom
Walie appears to be wearing the tank destroyer sharpshooter patch above his right pocket. He probably earned that patch before his unit was converted from the 672nd Tank Destroyer Battalion to the 672nd Amphibian Tractor Battalion. The picture was taken after he redeployed from the western pacific. The picture was likely taken in January. His bother Tom enlisted in late 1945 and does not appear to have been deployed overseas since there are no accoutrements on his uniform. |

 | Leverett, Nicholas T: 1864 Hospital Roster
This repeatedly reproduced (to the point that it is nearly illegible) Ramsey hospital roster found in the Thomaston, GA Archives shows that Nicholas was granted a 60-day furlough on 09 August 1864 while assigned to the 22nd Alabama. Most of those listed on the same page were being released on similar 60-day furloughs regardless of wound or illness. This roster corroborates a discharge record that Nicholas' kept and was in the possession of descendant, Linda Belk. Nicholas is listed on the 7th line from the bottom. Although he is reflected being assigned to the 22nd Alabama, no 22nd Alabama muster confirms such an assignment.

 | Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P6
Louis enlisted in the NYU Army Student Training Corps (ASTC) on 01 October 1918 and was honorably discharged on December 19. Many WWI records were destroyed in the 12 July 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In the following years the veteran's records would be reconstituted using auxiliary records - Louis's records were reconstituted using the NYU payroll records. He is one of 16 privates on the linked payroll. He was recorded receiving #42.60 in pay for the period to include $6.40 for a Quartermaster allotment - possibly for the return of unused books, equipment or clothing. The story of the short-lived SATC is worth researching - its duration was not much longer than the period of Louis's enlistment. |

 | Gosse, Samuel: 1929 manifest NYC
Samuel Gosse, a 68 year old shoemaker, was manifested on the SS Newfoundland that sailed from St John's S.N.F on August 11th, 1929. The manifest indicates Samuel can read & write, was born in Torbay, Newfoundland and issued a visa in St John's on 8/8/29. Although a citizen of Nfld., his permanent residence is shown as Dorchester, USA. His estimated birth date of 1860 suggests that he may not be Samuel Gosse, s/o William Gosse. |

When Nicholas Thompkins Leverett was first added to the family tree I knew only that NT was the great-great-grandfather of my bride, Lana (Scott) Carr and that he was a Confederate veteran. Initially, I was satisfied with that limited knowledge and did not pursue more detail. After writing and posting a story to CarrFamilyTree.com about Lana's father, MSG John Edgar Scott, I sought more information about NT. |

Clara's cremated remains were discovered in 2008 by the occupant of a home in Orem, Utah. That find enabled Clara to be returned to her family - even if the details of how she got lost in the first place remain but a guess. The story at the link is the result of collaboration by two researchers on opposite sides of her marriage. |

Then in September 1942, two battalions left Ireland for England and additional training with British units. In October the two battalions again boarded ships as part of Operation Torch - combat operations in North Africa. |

 | Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Educator and Grand Knight
Initially this biography, based simply upon memories, was a single page long and thus proved to be a great disappointment to say the least - surely more could be learned with a modicum of effort! After researching his WWI service - which proved to be an education in itself - many other details fell into place. As with the other histories on this website - all veterans - I am indebted to family members for their contributions - the errors are all mine and will be corrected when brought to my attention. |

 | Pate, James Elvie: 1944 A Tough 'Ombre
In December 1941, James Elvie Pate was a 32-year-old, single ranch hand on the Tommy Brook Ranch in west Texas and a base violin player in a local band. By April 1942 he had joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to the 90th Infantry Division – the Tough ‘Ombres. Two years later he was a married sergeant aboard a ship passing by the Statue of Liberty - bound for England and eventual participation in the landings on Utah Beach. Four days following that landing and within several miles of the beach he was wounded and sent back to England for treatment. Upon return to France he fought in the operation known as the Falaise Pocket. Just days before that battle was won, Sergeant Pate paid the ultimate sacrifice. Years later his only sister fought to have her Tough ‘Ombre returned home to Texas.
The story of Sergeant Pate's service reflects the great care his niece took to collect and retain artifacts of his service and her graciousness in sharing them with the author.
