Carrie was born in New York to Julia Harvey and Joseph AlbertGlynn.  In 1880, Carrie was living with her mother on Staten Island and her age was given as 5 years old. Her 14 year old sister, Lucy, was also living on Staten Island, but was living in a different household and working as a servant. In 1900, Carrie was a boarder in a home on Staten Island and her occupation was that of a wire worker.
