I would like to know if anyone has information on the Asa Carawan of Hyde
County. His estate list appears in 1847. I think his wife's name was
Winny
?. He had numerous children but I only know the names of Marcus and
Christopher. Christopher was my gg grandfather. I am trying to trace my
Carawan roots but have run into this road block. Perhaps someone knows
about
this family and can help me. Thanks......Gladys Shelton
Gladys,
The only Asa I have in my files is the one in the 1880 Hyde Census. I
wonder if he is the son of the Joseph G., living in the same area, and a
previous wife; and, if Joseph G. is son of your 1847 Asa. I have nothing on
your Asa. I don't have the 1840 census, which might give a clue to his
relations.
Other researchers have Benjamin Carawan and Delilah White with
children named Christopher (born 1820) and Marcus (born 1830), born in Hyde
but living and dying in Pamlico County at Goose Creek.
Do let us know what you find.
