Dabney Carr (April 27, 1773 – January 8, 1837), the son of Dabney Carr and Thomas Jefferson's younger sister, Martha, received forty-five of Wythe's titles when Jefferson dispersed the collection. Carr served as commonwealth's attorney for Albemarle County from 1801 to 1811 and chancellor of Winchester and Clarksburg from 1812 to 1824.[1] He was elected to the court of appeals, Virginia's highest court, in 1824 and held this position until his death in 1837.[2]
