Benjamin Carr and his brothers attended school at Red Bank and was a young man when the family came to Lawrence township. He operated a saw-mill for several years and then purchased the present farm, then containing 165 acres, from J. & C. Lenox. With the help of his sons he cleared all but 15 acres which are now very valuable timber lands. He continued in the mill business, hiring help to operate his farm. During the Civil War he was in the service, a member of Co. E, 149th Pa. Vol. Inf., and toward the end of the war was captured by the Confederates and incarcerated in Libby Prison, where he died from harsh treatment. His burial was at Annapolis, Md. His marriage was with Elizabeth Williams, a daughter of Edward Williams, of Bradford township, and the following children were born to them: Mercy Jane, who is now deceased, was the wife of Austin Trimp, of Bigler; C. P., of Pike township; W. S., who was married first to Mary Thompson, and second to Orie Bloom, a daughter of Zachariah Bloom; Mary, who is the wife of Peter Gearhart; and Richard, who married Alberta King.
