Chris,
Mr. Milton was my neighbor when I was growing up in Swan Quarter. Here is
all I have on the line in my record.
WILLIAM CARAWAN
1805-
The date is right for him to be the son of William (I), whose 1804 will
mentions his wife is pregnant.
Dates based on 1850 census
?=I.
PROBLEM: I am assuming children listed in census are by a first wife,
since Mahala is listed as being 7 years older than one of the children. The
Cemetery book, page 80, lists Mahala as Riley B.'s mother
1. Amanda
1832
2. Samuel D.
1838-
3. William E.
1840
= II.Mahala _________
1825-
4. Benjamin R.
1847
5. Riley B. = Elsie E. Carawan
1848- 1857-20 Dec 1903
daug. of George D.Carawan & Eleanor Harris
Not listed in 1850 census, unless he is the Benjamin R. Census takers
habitually got first and middle names backwards. IMO.80 has him born in 1850,
with no death date. The 1900 census has him born January 1848 and age 52.
And, his wife is listed as Elizabeth, not Elsie - maybe it was her middle
name.
1) William
c.1878-c.1895
IMO.80 Riley Carawan cem, with father and mother.
2) Walter Franklin = Minnie Dill
19 July 1878- 29 Oct 1886-
Single and in parent's house in 1900 census; married with 2
children in 1910 census (Ottis, Bonner); head of house with 2
brothers and a sister also in.
a) Ottis Odell
1 Jan 1905-
b) Riley Bonner
4 May 1907-
Listed as "Bonner" in 1910 census
c) Elbert Trevathan

h. Joe Birden

3) John Leland (Sr.) = Mabel Sadler
7 Jan 1882 - 30 June 1941 2 Jan 1885-19 Dec 1971
Daug of Milton W. Sadler and Polly Ann Harris
a) Leland Van Dorn = Edna Cutrell
30 April 1908-20 May 1971
b) Grace Musette
16 Oct 1909 - 20 Nov 1928
c) Milton = Rosa Lee Overton

e) boy
f) Zena Cecelia

[a notice is in Hyde Messenger, written by a playmate,
Annie Dell Credle, 4th grade, Swan Quarter. It says she has 4
brothers.]
4) Riley Hertford
March 1885-
"Hertford" in 1900 census; "Riley H" in 1910
5) Byron G
Dec 1889-
6) Amanda "Mandy"
Oct 1892-
7) Bennet

8) Rubbie, age 6, a boy, is listed in 1910 census as a brother of Walter
F.
This was no doubt Reuben Marshall (born 29 July 1903)
