Thanks, Chuck. I remember seeing that previously but had not made the
connection. Does anyone know who were the parents of this Robert CARDEN?
I'm still trying to determine the parentage of an older Robert CARDEN, who
was in the 1830 and 1840 Grainger County, TN, censuses, as I believe he is
the father of my 3rd great grandfather, Goldman Benton CARDEN, born 4 Nov
1810 in NC.
I think but have no proof that the Grainger County, TN, Robert CARDEN may
have been the same Robert CARDEN who was in the 1810 Stokes County, NC
census and perhaps the same one that was in Granville County, NC in 1800.
The 1830 and 1840 Grainger County, TN, census ages shown for Robert CARDEN
do not support the common belief that he was the Robert CARDEN, b. abt.
1742, whose 2nd wife was Elizabeth ROBARDS.
This Hawkins County Robert CARDEN was probably about the same age as
Goldman Benton CARDEN and is very likely related.
