Family lore says that we came from Ireland, I have traced back to James
Carvan born in NC in 1790. From there I get a dead end. Could the name
have been Carawan? This James shows up in the Hardeman Co. TN census of
1830 married with several small children. By 1850, the wife is no
longer
listed but the childrens names are William, Jurden, John, Sallie,
Elisabeth.
Can anyone make anything of this? Please contact me at kagharp(a)aol.com
if
so. Thanks Emily (old Carvan name) Other unusual names in our family
