Dabney Carr (April 27, 1773 – January 8, 1837), was the son of Dabney Carr, Sr. (1743 – 1773) and Martha Jefferson Carr, Thomas Jefferson's younger sister. He was the younger brother of Peter Carr, one of Wythe's students. Dabney Carr received forty-five of George Wythe's titles when Jefferson dispersed the collection after Wythe's death.
