List--.
I wanted you to know that I responded to Dr. Lewis but for whatever
reason it did not get to the Carawan List. I agree with his formation
dates of Pamlico Co. I reviewed my abstract of the Beaufort Co death
certicate of CC Carawan that I found on microfilm at the archives S.
123.1224, File 2245, p. 81. According to my abstract, Mrs Garriss gave
that information as the informant. Now, I could have miscopied.---.
since CC born Lowland according to his WWI Draft Registration, it is
likely that the place of birth of McDonald was Goose Creek Island and
by 1941 that was present day Pamlico Co.
1860 Goose Creek Island Census shows M. Daniel, age 2, in HH of Daniel
Carawan. 1870 Goose Creek Island Census shows McDonald age, 12, in HH of
Daniel Carawan. Likely M. Daniel and McDonald the same person. Carawan
Pamlico Co. estate settlement dated 8 Dec 1887 leaves to Nancy, widow
of M. D. Carawan. Pamlico Co Estate Records 1872-1939-CR 074.508.2
Microfilm at archives.
There is a reference to Kitt Carawan in the publication "The Goose Creek
Islander 1874-1974" p. 63 in the Human Interest Stories. A Night in Jail
as told by Kelly and Ada Watson. I quote here "On the day he was to be
drafted, Kelly Watson was arrested along with Mitchell Watson, Sam
Williamson, and Kitt Carawan and carried to New Bern to jail at gun
point. Kitt Carawan (1886-1941) told the guards, Put hand cuffs on us
and take away those guns! We're not criminals!" Kelly's father, John
Watson (he was CC's stepfather and guardian)traveled to New Bern to help
and he was also put in jail. John Ireland and Jess Riggs put up $500
bond. There was a trial which was carried over and then resumed about a
year later and was thrown out of court. It saved the boys from being
drafted.
Art, I checked my Pamlico Co. Marriages and found that on 14 Oct Oct
1882 David K. O'Neal age 36, s/o Jessie O'Neal and Pollie, both dead
of Dare County, married Brittany Price, age 25, d/o Helory(?) Price and
Cordelia, both dead of Dare Co. Married by J.W. Watson, JP. at
residence of Roberson Campen. Wit: Malachi Potter, CTA Moreslender, and
Cason G. Potter. This goes with the 1900 census that you sent earlier
showing Minnie E. O'Neal age 10 in HH. However, I've yet to find a
marriage for CC Carawan and Minnie O'Neal.
