II. Robert Carr (2) born in London, Eng., Oct. 4, 1614, came to America with his brother Caleb, 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, R. I. A few years later the two brothers settled in Newport, R. I.

Robert Carr was admitted as an inhabitant in Portsmouth, Feb. 21, 1639, and a freeman in Newport, March 16, 1641. He was one of the original purchasers of the island of Conanicut in Narragansett bay, of the Indians, which contained about six thousand acres. He also acquired considerable property in Newport. His will was dated April 20, 1681, as he had determined on a voyage to New York and New Jersey. He died in 1681, and his will was proved, Oct. 4, 1681. The following is a copy of his last will and testament:

"Being now in my perfect health and memory, and being bound on a voyage to New York and New Jersey, and aged sixty-seven, and not knowing how the Lord may deal with me in my intended voyage, and knowing certainly that 1 must once die, though uncertain when, yet being desirous to set my house in order, do make and appoint this to be my last will and testament."

"Imprimis.I commit my soul into the arms of Jesus Christ my Redeemer, and my body to the dust, to be decently buried, and so my worldly estate I dispose of as followeth:"

"Firstly, 1 give and bequeath to my loving wife, all my household stuff and movables, excepting my sheep at Conanicut, and ???20 in money to be paid her yearly during her natural life by my sons hereinafter named."

"Second, I give to my eldest child, Caleb Carr, all my land at Conanicut, alias Jamestown, he paying my wife ???10 a year in money during her natural life, and pay John Hicks, his children by my daughter Mary, ???20."

"Third, I give my son Robert Carr,and to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten, my dwelling house and wharf from the corner post that leads into the well yard upon a straight line to the sea, (only the privilege of the highway between the house and the well yard to be common up to John Brown's house, and the wharf to be free for my sons and daughters for any goods they shall bring on or off of said wharf,) and to have all the land upon the straight line from that post adjoining to the house and pasture, except what is given to my son-in-law, James Brown, and the privilege of the well and a way to it, and pay to his mother ???7 in money yearly during her natural life."

"Fourth, I give to my son Esek, all my land from the corner post of the well yard next to the street side of land 1 sold Nicholas Davis, now in possession of Francis Brinley and Caleb Carr, together with the privilege of the highway between the house and the land and a highway down to my wharf, and the privilege of the wharf, only the well to be common and free for my mansion dwelling house, and a highway to it for him and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten, to enjoy the same and to pay to his mother yearly ???3 in money."

"Fifth, I give and bequeath to my son-in-law James Brown, and to his child he hath by my daughter Elizabeth, all that land he hath built upon and fenced in, with two rods in length more or less, even with his land as it is fenced in the uppermost piece behind his house next to Mr. Brenton-s, with the privilege of the highway from the Broad street to his house and land."

"Sixth, I give and bequeath to my daughter Margaret, all my sheep at Conanicut, alias Jamestown, and the horseflesh to be sold and the value of them to be returned to her, except one yearling colt come of a young mare which I gave my son Caleb.

"I do nominate an I appoint my beloved wife executrix and my two sons, Caleb and Robert Carr, executors to this my last will and testament, and as overseers I desire my brotherCaleb Carr and Walter Clarke to he everseers to see my will to all intents and purposes be performed. Robert Carr.
