Good morning list. After sending this message last night, I created more
questions ! If Nancy's age on censuses is correct -born about 1831 ish
(Green wrote will 16 Oct 1831 and Nancy mentioned) Nancy would have
been d/o last wife, not d/o of 1st wife Brittana and Green as stated on
her 1869 marriage record to William B. Tooley. Art, do you recall the
source of the birthdates that you gave for Green's children? Someone,
please help me with this. I'm confused.

Thanks Art, It's always good to get your input. I keep hoping
someday
the Carawan researchers will get this family figured out.
I'd like to comment on Nancy Carawan, b. 1798, d/o Elder Green
Carawan, per your Dec 25 message. According to High Tides, Vol. 8,
No. 2, Fall 1987, p. 18, article titled "Albin B. Swindell House and
Store" --- Nancy Tooly Moore Carawan Slade was the 4th wife of Albin
B. Swindell, Sr. who was b. c. 1800-d. January 1862. Nancy was the
mother of Joseph and Thomas F. Swindell who were minors at the time of
AB Swindell, Sr. death in 1862. Albin B. Swindell married 1st
Matilda Lucas and had Henry L. and George W. Swindell. Albin B.
Swindell married 2nd Recy Bell who d. c. 1835-no children. He married
3rd Elizabeth Ann Jones who had Edward S., Martha Ann, and Albin B.
Swindell, Jr.
As evidenced by the Hyde Co marriage record, Nancy T. M. Swindell, d/o
Green and Brittana Carrowan married William B. Tooly, s/o A. L. and
Mary Tooly on 21 July 1869 at Rose Bay by L. C. Jarvis, JP. In the
Hyde Co Brides Index I did not find a marriage entry for a Nancy
Carawan to a Slade. Was Nancy a Slade when she married Albin B.
Swindell, Sr.? If so, Nancy married 1st a Slade, 2nd Albin Swindell,
Sr. and 3rd William B. Tooly. Need to check Swindell marriages. Maybe
a Slade, Swindell, or Tooley researcher could help us.
1850 Hyde census Where is Nancy? Is she married to a Slade by
1850? Mary A. Slade, 8 b ca 1852,on 1860 census below is probably
her daughter.
1860 Hyde census shows AB Swindell, 60; Nancy, 29; Edward S, 21;,AB
Jr., 14, Mary A. Slade, 8.
1862-AB Swindell Hyde estate
1869- Nancy T. M. Swindell married William B. Tooley (her father Green
Carawan)
1870 Hyde census showsWilliam B. Tooley, 60; Nancy, 39; Joseph,
9(probably Nancy's son Joseph C. Swindell, see 1880 census below))
1878-William B. Tooley Hyde estate
1880 Hyde census shows Nancy M. Tooley, 47 and son Joseph C. Swindell,
19. If Nancy Swindell Tooley is in fact Nancy, d/o Green Carawan,
her birth would be abt 1831-1833 according to these censuses instead
of 1798. Nancy born before father Green Carawan died as she is
mentioned in his will of 1832. No further info on Nancy after 1880
census.
One other more recent Carawan-Jarvis connection in my immediate
family: Robert Marcus Carawan, s/o Benjamin Roberson "Robbie" Carawan
and Rosetta Rice married 15 Nov 1913 in Hyde Co. Deb Jarvis, d/o
Lauren Luther Jarvis and Mary Jane Jarvis.
Enough for now.
