Hi Robert,
I'll send you an attachment to your email address. I don't want to post it here because there is too much unverified information in it, but lots of clues for tracking things down.
Ann Carr was the grandmother of Caleb Barker who married Elletheria Howland. Her husband (Ann's) was also Caleb Barker. Ann was also the granddaughter of Caleb Carr, governor of Rhode Island. There is a lot of published info available on the Carrs since they were a prominent family.
I'm in the midst of trying to find primary sources to verify all these connections, and have had mixed results so far.
