This Richard Charnes married Susan Carroll in Ind.and I beleive the Carnes's of French Lick, Ind. and the Carnes in North Powder, Oregon and the Charnes's of Ind are all of the same family. They originated from one of the brothers of my ancesters in Ky., but I can not find a direct connection. I think somewhere along the way the last name got spelled differently and that is how it became Charnes on some documents. It is hard to find any Charnes before Richard Charnes.
