Never heard that growing up in east Tenn. I did hear it when I exiled myself to Georgia, from a native of North Georgia,
I have often heard “carry” so used in the NC Piedmont — years ago, when I was a young’un — and have heard old-timers use it in Southwest Virginia where I live now. “I carried Lizzy to trade at the K-mark.” “Carried” meaning drove and “to trade” meaning to shop.
I’ve heard it some...not a lot...
I’ve heard “I got to haul my folks to church..” more....
