On March 1, 1838, Lucy D. (Hansbrough) Carr married (2nd) her cousin, Peter Murphy, who died between December 30, 1848, the date of his will, and October 15, 1849, the date it is recorded in Culpeper. It has been said that Lucy and Peter separated, but it is not known how long after their marriage that the separation took place. Lucy, in her will, dated October 21, 1859, witnessed by Thomas W. Jones and William W. Hansbrough (but not recorded in Culpeper until July 16, 1866) left her entire estate to her son, John Thomas Carr, and his wife, Virginia, in trust for their children.
