Wife's name

Per Great Migration, Vol. III, Robert Carr's wife is unidentified - she was not named in his will or any other records. Nor does it mention any speculation that her name was Elizabeth Lawton, which it usually would if the speculation were well-founded. Per The Carr Family Records, an 1894 account of the family, and Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, it is this Robert's son Robert who married Elizabeth, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Hazard) Lawton - this fits much better with Elizabeth Hazard born in 1630.
