Young A. Carr
Born in Alabama, he may have been active from 1850 to 1860 in Memphis, Tenn. In 1855 he was listed at 31 Front Row, as Y.A. Carr & Co., and lived on Pigeon Roost Road. An advertisement listed him over Merriman's Jewelry Store, and noted his long experience in the business. He also offered materials and instruction. From 1856 to 1859 he was listed at the same address (J.H. Larcombe was also listed there in 1856-1857). In 1860 he was listed as an artist with no business address. The 1850 census listed him as a daguerreian, and listed his age at 30.
