Can you help me straighten out the Crenshaws?

I think William Carr and William Carr, Gent., of Spotsylvania County are more or less the same.

But different parents.

Susannah Crenshaw "is" listed in his 1760 will but not married yet.

WikiTree contributors, "William Carr (abt.1680-1760)," WikiTree: The Free Family Tree, (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carr-414 : accessed 05 November 2024). is more or less the same; misses daughter Susannah; has notes:

Estimated birth date

The birth date is a very rough estimate, based on the assumption that he was the younger brother and born only a few years after brother Thomas. Many online genealogies give a birth date of 1707 for him, but this appears to be based solely on a baptismal record for the "William, ye Son of Thomas Carr of Bay gate" who was was baptized at Bolton-by-Bolland in Yorkshire on 16 October 1707.[3] This cannot be the same person, as the records cited in his profile establish that William's father Thomas was living in King William County, Virginia, between at least 1701-1709, not in Bay gate, Yorkshire, England.

Disputed Spouses

Some have identified various additional spouses with a LNAB of Winston. These include Elizabeth Sarah (Winston) Carr, Elizabeth (Winston) Carr, and Catherine (Winston) Carr. No sources are cited in any of these profiles and they have been detached as spouses of this William Carr.

I found this, although I cannot yet identify the original source.
