Hello all,
Does anyone have any information on ancestors or descendant of this William Carden in
Jasper Co., that was issued a land grant in 1799?? I think there may be connection
between William and John Carden of Goochland Co., VA that moved to Pike Co. I know John
had two children who married in Jasper Co., in 1814 and 1815. I also, know there was a
marriage of Ally Carden born in 1795 married to Nathan Moffat that was either performed or
witnessed by David Carden. I think David is the son of John Carden. There is a
possibility Ally is Elizabeth A. Carden born circa 1795 in VA daughter of John Carden,
but, not much is known of this marriage. Also, there is a Nancy Carden m to (Don?) Fry.
As far is I know Nancy is not in John's line. I think William and John may be
brothers. I came to this conclusion as I can not place Owen H. K. Carden in my line.
However, he is in the Pike Co., 1850 census and this was found in the Pike Co., land
records; 21 Oct 1839 Andrew J Cardin sold !
to Owen H K Cardin for $200 a 50 acre parcel of land in SE quarter of lot # 123 in 7th
dist of Monroe now Pike Co. witness was James Peaden (?). I know Andrew J. Carden (all 3)
are in my line. Any thoughts or supporting facts??
