 | Stockdale, Benjamin: 2015 Return of New Testament to descendants
"In September, 2015 a US Patent Office employee called my wife, Lana, at her business asking if she was related to the Benjamin Stockdale family. Lana replied that she was not sure, although perhaps her husband’s deceased Aunt Alice (Carr) Stockdale was so linked. The caller said he had a Bible belonging to Benjamin and was interested in its return to the proper family. Lana advised she would have me call him. Lana then advised me that a bookseller had a Stockdale Bible and that I should call him if I was interested in obtaining the Bible. I paused at that point in the manner I used to pause when a headhunter called about a job interview; “Do not, repeat do not, appear too interested!” So I calmly Googled old family Bibles to get a handle on a price-range ...

 | 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 Virginia (Wilson) Bailey, his niece, took to collect and retain artifacts of his service and her graciousness in sharing them with the author.
The booklet is available @ www.TheBookPatch.com and searching for "Sergeant James Elvie Pate" |

| Scott, John Edgar: 1944 "Butts on this Article"
This document captures an experience upon which John Scott did not elaborate with his children during his lifetime. The only detail that his eldest daughter knew was that he had been briefly captured by the German army during WWII and scars on his back were the lingering evidence. At some point he may have provided his wife, Vivian, with other details, but apparently she also did not share them. Fortunately, Vivian retained several artifacts John had sent home during the war that eventually made researching details a family imperative. One of those artifacts was a Stars & Stripes Newspaper article with the title "38th Regt. Bags 78 Tanks In Four-Day Bulge Battle." It seemed innocuous because John was not assigned to the 38th Regiment and because one battle would generally be indistinguishable from another. But there were aspects of the article that made this battle story different – very different - and John he wanted Vivian to read it. So, in the margin near the portion titled “Americans Rescued” John had added a marginal note; "Butts on this article - Scott." His note was akin to claiming "dibs" – although even that explanation may no longer be in common use. John's note simply declared that once the newspaper had been read by all his fellow unit soldiers, he wanted to cut the story from the paper. He did mail the article to Vivian along with a few others describing the capture of American soldiers. As the attached document describes, John was one of those captured soldiers. |

 | Scott, John Edgar: 2011 A Texas Veteran's Story
In 1959 Edgar purchased a 20-acre farm in south Texas thru the Texas Veteran's Land Board. The ensuing 25 years is a marvelous story of success - the American way. The story of his farm in Lytle, TX is captured in this document. |

 | Leverett, Nicholas T: 2011 Confederate Veteran
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. |

 | Stallard, Clara Ashe (Carr): 2011 - A Postmortem
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. |

 | Howard, Tillmer D: 1942-1944 & the 6th Armored Infantry Regiment
While Tillmer Howard was enduring basic training, his eventual unit, the 6th Armored Infantry Regiment, conducted training maneuvers with British units in Northern Ireland. 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. |

 | Carr, Regis John II: 2012 Rehearsal Supper Program Video
This video was prepared by a friend of the family (Tom C.) for Regis and Lana Carr to present during Jack & Courtney's rehearsal supper at Churchill's Pub & Restaurant in Savannah, GA.
Although a bit slow to load, it is well worth your time if you have any connection to Jack and his very lovely bride, Courtney. |

 | Dzurissin, John: 1911 PA Death Certificate
Name: John Dzurissin
Gender: Male
Race: Slovakian
Death Age: 19
Birth Date: 4 Sep 1892
Birth Place: Winton
Death Date: 7 Apr 1911
Death Place: Throop, Lackawanna, Pennsylvania, USA
Father: John Dzurrissin
Mother: Anna Sivak
Certificate Number: 39206
RJCarr, 11 Feb 2022: The mother, Anna, on this certificate does not match that in the tree which suggest that son John is not properly linked in this tree. On the other hand, John and Anna (Prokovitch) Dzurissin's son John appears on the 1900 census with them, but has not been found on subsequent census enumerations. This death certificate may explain his absence on the 1920 census. |
