Subject: [CARDEN-L] Some Confusion about two John CARDENs?
The "Reuben CARDENs galore" thread prompted me to review my
file, which
then led me to compare notes with two other CARDEN researchers.
It appears to me that there is considerable confusion about the children
of two John CARDENs, namely, (1) John CARDEN, born 1731 in Mecklenburg Co,
VA, son of David CARDEN, born 1703 in Essex Co, VA, who was the son of
John CARDEN and Mary Anne PARKER; and (2) John CARDEN, born abt. 1740 in
Goochland Co, VA, who married Mary SUGGS and who was the son of Robert
James CARDEN and Phyllis WILBANKS/WOOLBANK, who was also a son of John
CARDEN and Mary Anne PARKER. Hence both John CARDENs are grandsons of
John CARDEN and Mary Anne PARKER.
For the John CARDEN, born 1731, I have no wife listed but I have the
following children:
John, b. abt 1752 in Mecklenburg Co, VA
Leonard, b. abt. 1754 in Mecklenburg Co, VA
Reuben, b. abt. 1756 in Mecklenburg Co, VA, who married Stac(e)y BOWEN
Mary, b. 1760 in Mecklenburg Co, VA, who married John KEETON
Robert, b. 1763 in Mecklenburg Co, VA, who married Lockey HUNT
For the John CARDEN, born abt. 1740, I have his wife listed as Mary SUGGS,
born 1744 in Goochland Co, VA, an approximate marriage date of 1771 and
the following children:
Mary, born 18 June 1772 in Goochland Co, VA
Jincy, who married (1) George MERRITT, and (2) Daniel TUCKER
Reuben
I'll be the first to admit that most of my information about these
families has been shared with me by others, so I have no ego stake in
whether I have things wrong and would be most happy to have more correct
information. Can anyone shed any light on this issue?
