(I don't even know what a pair of currans is, but I did find it interesting that they are described as old, and this being the earliest reference that you've seen of them.)
Currans were rough, rawhide moccasins with the hair left on. Why such a throw-away item would be included in a property inventory is beyond me!

I agree that the "truss" means trews.
As for Carrs - perhaps a Rolls and a Bentley....
