  Notes	The Carrs were among the foremost pioneers of the county. The ledger of David Peter of Gnadenhutten indicates that Thomas and John Carr were in the county in 1800. The tax duplicate of 1809 for Salem Township includes the following Carrs: Aquilla, Sr., Aquilla, Jr., John, William, Joshua, Thomas, James and Benjamin. Aquilla Carr was not only an early, but he was a prominent pioneer, serving as one of the first Associate Judges of the county. He hailed originally from Maryland, lived for a while on the Ohio at Wellsville, then journeyed to the Tuscarawas, and purchased land in the second quarter of Township 6, Range 2, about a half mile north of Port Washington. After a pioneer life of several years, he sold his property and removed to near Wooster, Ohio. Returning to Dover, he bought land on Sugar Creek, which he exchanged with Judge James Clark, and settled, prior to 1820, on Lot 35, adjoining Port Washington on the east. His children were William, a great hunter; Richard and Thomas, both of whom died in Port Washington; Mary, wife of Jacob Good, and Susan, wife of Charles Hill. Aquilla Carr was a zealous Methodist. He was a farmer, and died in this township. His grandson Aquilla, now one of the oldest settlers of the township, resides opposite Port Washington. James Carr, son of Joshua, who was a brother of Aquilla and lived on Sugar Greek, died at Port Washington, after a long residence in the primitive forest, a short distance northeast of Port Washington.
