He married Ann, daughter of George and Elizabeth Crew, in 1815.  The same year he moved to Ohio.  His family then consisted of his wife and three children; the others were born in this county.  Their children were Samuel, George W., Isaac R., R. F., Thomas, Elizabeth, and J. M.; three only are living.  Mr. Carr's opportunities for an education from books during his minority were limited , as those of our early settlers who still survive remember well the rude log school-house and its meagre appointments.  Mr. Carr was a very successful farmer, and by strict economy, industry, and good management he added from time to time to his first purchase of land in this county until he owned two hundred and twenty acres of finely-improved land, which he divided into three farms,  giving one to each of his sons, one of whom now owns the old homestead.  It must indeed be a great pleasure, at the close of a long and useful life, to be able to transmit to our children a comfortable fortune, more especially if it has been acquired in an honorable manner.  Mr. Carr died June 3, 1873; Mrs. Carr died Aug. 27, 1859, at the age of sixty-five years.  She was a good woman, and many friends deeply regretted her loss.      Isaac R. Carr, third son of Isaac Carr, married Isabella, daughter of Obadiah and Mary Crew.  Mr. Crew was among the first settlers of this county, emigrating from Virginia in 1808.  Mr. and Mrs. Crew were married in 1799.  Mrs. Crew died Oct. 10, 1841; Mr. Crew died Oct. 10, 1845.      The above portrait was contributed by Isaac r. Carr in memory of his honored father. Source:  History of Columbiana County, Ohio  - Philadelphia: D. W. Ensign & Co., 1879 - Page 294b Residence of Enos & Ann E. Cook. Knox Tp., Columbiana Co., O. ENOS COOK.  In another part of this work may be found a view of the home of Enos Cook, accompanied by the portraits of himself and wife.  Caleb Cook (father of Enos Cook) came from Pennsylvania to Knox township, Ohio, in 18354, bringing with him his family, which consisted of his wife and ten children, - eight girls and two boys.  Three girls and one boy are deceased, leaving one son only (Enos).  Caleb Cook died in 1870; Mrs. Caleb Cook died in 1864.  This family are of Scotch descent.      Enos Cook was born in Chester Co., Pa., May 13, 1821.  Mrs. Enos Cook was born in Columbiana Co., Ohio, Jan. 8, 1827.  Enos Cook has been a farmer all his life; lives on the farm which his father bought when he came to this State; has helped to clear and to improve it, until it is now one of the finest in that section; and he is one of the thriftiest and best farmers in that part of the county.  Everything about his premises is kept up in the best style.  His barn is a model of convenience and neatness.  Over the door of his born may be found these words, "What you do, do well," - a sentiment which he has practiced to the fullest extent.  Some of the heaviest stock which has been weighed at Beloit has been raised upon his farm.  April 24, 1844, Enos Cook married Ann, daughter of James and Eliza Michener.  Three children have blessed this union, viz.: Eliza, Howard, and Leander.  One is deceased.  Mr. and Mrs. Cook belong to the Hicksite Quakers.  Mr. Cook has always been called a Republican, but he does not vote at all times with his party, his last vote being cast for Greeley.
