Merlin,
Please look at your Phillip M. Carawan and help me out. Are there two?
According to the death certificate of Phillip M. Carawan he was b.10 Jan
1854 and d. 2 Feb 1931 in Craven Co. of apoplexy. His parents were G. W.
Carawan and Ellen Harris, both born Hyde Co. Widowed- wife Carolin.
Informant was W. L. Carawan of New Bern, NC. According to the Hyde Co.
Marriage License Phillip M. Carawan, age 23, s/o Geo D. Carawan and Ella
Carawan and Caroline Silverthorne, age 24, d/o James Silverthorne and
Comfort Silverthorne, were married 14 Feb 1877 in SQ, at the home of
Thomas M. Jones, JP. The Craven Co. death certificate of Caroline
Carawan b. Apr 16, 1853 and d. Dec 25, 1928 states her husband is

Annie Green Carawan Ireland after husband Babe Ireland died(Odell Spain
