Biography

ROBERT CARR, along with his brother Caleb, came to America on the ship Elizabeth Ann, commanded by Capt. Roger Cooper, which sailed from London, May 9, 1635. From an old shipping record in London, we find the following:

"Calebb Carr, aged 19; and Robert Carr, aged 21, described as a 'tayler', sailed for New England, on the 9th of May, 1635, in the Elizabeth Ann."

These two brothers, who were both minors, were sent to America after the death of their parents, to live with their uncle William, who had previously settled in Bristol, Bristol, RI. A few years later the two brothers settled in Newport, Newport, RI.

ROBERT was admitted as an inhabitant in Portsmouth, Newport, RI, Feb. 21, 1638/39, and a freeman in Newport, Mar. 16, 1641. He was one of the original purchasers of the island of Conanicut, in Narragansett Bay, from the Indians, which contained about 6,000 acres. He also acquired considerable property in Newport. His will was dated Apr. 20, 1681, and proved Oct. 4, 1681.
