Does anyone know anything about a Mable Carnahan who worked at the Hill Air Force Base in Utah from about 1940 -1970. She is said to have come from Missouri. I suspect she was born about 1900-1915

Re: Alexander Carnahan b. 1789 son of David Carnahan and Agnes McGaughey

tdc9188 — 2009-07-14 06:13:32Z

David Carnahan is my ancestor who came from Antrim CO., Ireland. Alex was one of his few sons (read thread about Banksville). I'm filling this in while at work so I don't have the information at hand, but I can fill in nearly anything about this line. I've got it all thanks to very thorough research done by my grandfather. This is the line from which Robert B. Carnahan (judge) and Thomas D. Carnahan (judge) have come. Any questions please let me know and I can fill it in.

Hi,
While researching my Carnachan /Kernaghan family tree I found that a John Carnaghan born Downpatrick, in Down Ireland Served in the (British) Royal Artillery and was discharged aged 40 years Sometime between 1796 & 1816.
My Robert Carnachan also fought against "Napolian" and was discharged in 1816

I'm trying to find out if they were brothers as he (Robert)had a son Andrew which was possibly his fathers name.

John Carnahan

LillahPayne99 — 2009-06-13 15:25:08Z

I have gone blank on the material on John Carnahan, father of David R. Carnahan. John was born in Ireland about 1780, died in Ohio (?) and was married to Elizabeth Porter about the same age, lived in Penn., and also died in Ohio. David R.Carnahan was the husband of Sarah Gilmore, born 3 Sept. 1968 in Cadiz, Ohio. I need to go back to the ancestors of John and Elizabeth if possible. Carl Carnahan

Carnahans in Mahaska County, Iowa

LillahPayne99 — 2009-05-11 16:44:19Z

My grandfather, William Steele Carnahan, was born in Iowa,about 1865, the son of David Carnahan and Sarah Gilmore Carnahan, and lived in Cedar, Mahaska, Iowa in 1880. The family also included sisters Sarah,born about 1853, Amanda. born about 1857. and a brother, Harry, born about 1863. William Steele came to Oklahoma in the later 1800s and settled in Lincoln County and later in Shawnee, OK. On another thread, I believe that the earlier Carnahans were the Kernoghans from County Donegal in Ireland, at least some of them. Does anyone have any connections on my part of the tree? Carl E. Carnahan, carl1928@cox.net

Hi,

I set up these FindAGrave.com memorials for some Carnahans in Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=...

My cousin in Hockessin took the pictures of these Carnahans because they seemed to be in a family plot with some Morrisons. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=...

Robert Morrison is my 2nd great grandfather. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Mo...;

My 2nd great grandmother Elizabeth Maxwell Morrison is there. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22...

Robert and Elizabeth Maxwell Morrison's son Thomas L. Morrison and his wife Amanda Springer Morrison are also buried there.
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22...
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22...

These Carnahans and rest of the Morrison probably connect to my family bur I don't know how.

Any idea if these Carnahans are a part of your family?

ElaineOde54 — 2009-01-13 00:12:26Z

Hi,

I'm trying to connect my gg grandfather, William Taylor to Abraham Taylor and Hopestill Hardister Carnahan. Can someone tell me if he married Matilda Davidson? If so, then I'm in!! I've been searching for William Taylor's parents for many years and haven't been able to link him to a family. Some information I received today leads me to believe that this is the family I've been looking for.

What I know about my William Taylor is that he was born in Arkansas about 1852. He married Matilda Davidson in Maries County, Missouri in 1875. Died in St. Louis County, Missouri on July 26, 1923 as a result of a train accident.

Please, if anyone can help, I'd TRULY appreciate it.

Sorry Bob, but I can't find the source on that.

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-05 04:28:31Z

No...I'm afraid I don't have anything on Mary Olive Carnahan. Sorry...wish I could help on that.

However, Rootsweb has a mary Olive Carnahan who married a George Elmer Mills b: abt 1861 d: abt 1919. It shows one child...Nellie mae Mills b: 1 Jul 1896 in Diller, Jefferson Co. Nebraska..

Maybe this is her???

Re: David C. Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-04 19:02:59Z

Bob,
Not positive about this but I have it as John Aaron Carnahan who married Elvira Mitchell;

John Aaron's parents as: James Carnahan and Jane Freyer; and James parents as:

William Carnahan and Martha Barclay; then his parents as:

James Alexander Carnahan and Margaret mary Janny..

Does this match up with what you (or everyone else) has?

Let me know if I've got an error in this.

Thanks!

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-03 16:54:17Z

Thanks!

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-03 16:53:08Z

Thanks Bob!

This raises a question for me if you don't mind sharing.

I've only got one Benjamine F Carnahan in my database who died in 1864 and was buried in the Chattanooga National Cemetery, Chattanooga, TN. Is this the same one you are referring to? If so, when was he born?

Also, if not, can you share their dates of birth and death? Thanks!

Happy New Year!

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-02 00:01:23Z

Bob,
I also have 3 Olive Carnahan's:
1. Olive Carnahan born about 1927 in Indiana. Father: Arthur Carnahan b: abt 1895 and Martha (last name unknown) born 1900 d: 1992.
Arthur son of Edward Otilier Carnahan (no dates) and Margaret (last name unknown) (no dates).

2. Olive Grace Carnahan born 1925 in Ohio d: 1926 in Pomeroy, Meigs County, OHio. Parents: Earnest Carnahan b: abt 1882 Mother: Ruby F Ross b: 1887 d: 1956.

3. Olive R Carnahan b: Unknown in Kentucky. Parents: John mason Carnahan Jr b: 1845 d: 1917 Mother: Laura A mathews b: 1851 d: 1870

Are any of these the one you're looking for? And again, can you help me with some of the missing names/dates.

Thanks! Happy New Year!

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

DarrellCarnahan — 2009-01-01 23:55:33Z

Bob,
Question please. I have a Mary Olive Carnahan b: abt 1894 who's father was George E Carnahan b: 1869...his parents were Barnett T Carnahan (no dates) and Margaret Alice Sullivan (no dates). Is this the person you are asking about? And if so, do you have anything to fill in on what I'm missing above. Especially, who her mother was?

Thanks!

Re: Ohio Carnahan

DarrellCarnahan — 2008-12-12 04:27:56Z

OK...I may have a big error in my database. I thought clarence was married to Oma Bowling b: 26 Oct 1913 in Leslie Co. KY. Mother Elizabeth Begley. Is this incorrect? If so, can you please provide me with her parents names and dates?

The reason this is so important is that Clarence was my first cousin, once removed.

Also, if you don't mind sharing...Can you email me at dlcarnahan@bellsouth.net with Jenny, Louise and Aaron's dates and location(s) of birth. Only if you feel comfortable with that.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I'm obviously WAY behind the power curve on this post, but can you send a copy of the files of the bible lineage? I don't think this is my branch of Carnahans, but there have been posts about John Franklin (or Aaron) Carnahan as son of Andrew Carnahan, and I'd like to take a look. If this already available somewhere, please let me know. Thanks

He was born Feb 14th 1910, passed Dec 31 1975. I belive in/or around Perry Co KY. His wife was Oma (Bowling) born July 4th 1910, passed 1986 (late fall).

Re: Ohio Carnahan

kn5dx1 — 2008-12-01 18:41:11Z

My grandfather was Clarence Carnahan, one of his daughters was Mabel Louise, and I remember Blanche's name being mentioned many times. I think I even meet her when I was a kid. Try looking for information that comes from Perry County KY, local towns like Crab Orchard. Other surnames of Hensley, Bargers, Bowlings. I am trying to find the research I did from 2000. I traced (with good reliability) the Carnahan's back to 1776-78 (Patrick) from Ireland landing in VA.

Re: Ohio Carnahan

I'm a decendent of John Mason and Ruth Kimzey (the 2nd wife). I haven't been able to past John and Sarah Bradburn either. Another researcher and I have theorized the Carnahan and Meason (Mason) connection. No documentation to this. If interested in more info you can contact at sharris_45@hotmail.com Most of what I have is the line in west Kentucky.

Re: John Carnahan.... whose son is he..

black1irish — 2009-01-04 05:00:45Z

Emma,

I,m of the mind that AARON Carnahan, mother Sarah, was the son of James Carnahan who dround in 1787--Sarah married a MaClennen in 1788--If I can find the marrage record or a sensus for 1790 with a Maclennen/sarah and a boy two, I think this would explain the cold trail on AARON Carnahan. I have found no other record or statement with AARON,s full name to date. Bob Carnahan/ Illinois

Yes, these Carnahans you are asking about are related threw James Harvey Carnahan, from industry, Illinois, one of his sons, I can find that information for you also, any idea about Mary Olive? Chales Carnahan ,a brouther of Benjamaines ,came to Illinois to bring Benjamine and his family to Cowly Co. Kansas--on the way, in MaComb Illinois Benjamine Carnahan, accidently shot him self and died the next day, Edwina and her children returned to Benjamines fathere farm.

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

black1irish — 2009-01-03 19:24:40Z

Benjamine Carnahan was the son of James Harvey Carnahan, my great, great grandfather. Benjamine died by accident leaving, three children and his wife Edwina Gilworth Carnahan, they returned to his, James H. Carnahan,s farm in Industry, Illinois in 1876. The two sons, Charles Walter Carnahan and Fredrick Edward Carnahan were raised by Benjamine,s dad, James H. Carnahan on thefarm, Benjamines daughter, Mary Olive b 1871, was raised by Mary Carnahan Wilson, Benjamines sister in Industry, Illinois. Edwina Gilworth Carnahan left in 1880 to Galesburg, Illinois to her parents and left the children behind. She had anouther son, Albert ( called bertie ) in 1878, probably why she left. I have dates but not handy right now. I can send them latter if that works for you? Thanks Bob C.

Re: Newfound Carnahan Bible

black1irish — 2009-01-03 02:29:45Z

I have some but sinse it was not a dirrect line, I haven,t researched it to date. My Mary Olive was born in 1871 to Benjamine Carnahan and Edwina Gilworth Carnahan, she was my great Aunt, can,t find her, she went west at an early age, was raised by Mary Carnahan Wilson in Industry, Illinois.
