Jimmy,
I forgot to say that the JAMES CARDEN of my line was born abt. 1790 in NC or
SC (not sure which). His parents are unknown to me at this time. It's them
I'm searching for now in this James CARDEN & Elizabeth FULLER line... This
James CARDEN who mar. Elizabeth FULLER had children nearly the same age of
my JAMES, but his James isn't mine.
My JAMES came into Alabama abt. 1817-1818, which was a year or two
pre-statehood. Alabama was known as Miss. Terr. at that time. There - in
either Greene, Perry, or Marengo Co. (depending on where the county
boundaries were) - he settled w/ his wife Mary Nell "Polly" LYON and baby
daughter Stacey Sophia CARDEN. My 2G-G.Father - JHR (James Harvey Reuben)
CARDEN - was born in Greene Co, AL
5/4/1821 per family Bible records.
In 1830 James & Polly CARDEN died in some unk. epidemic & their 2 children
were adopted according to Shelby Co, AL Orphan's Court records by their
maternal grand parents - John SR LYON & Sophia TEAGUE.
JHR CARDEN gave several of his 10 children names that follow definite
"Carden" naming patterns - Fuller, Leonard, Reuben, Hazeltine, William,
Martha Jane, John, Harvey, & James.
Several records indicate that one of the Larkin CARDIN's had a son named
James CARDIN (sp var.) born 1780 & died 1840 in Perry Co, AL. This is
similar info., but not the same person...the wife of the Perry Co, AL JAMES
CARDIN was Charity RUTLAND, whom he mar. in 1800. My JAMES would've been
only 10 years of age in 1800. Thankfully my JAMES lived to give info. in
the 1830 Greene Co, AL census, which was accurate for his wife Polly LYON,
b-1795 in SC (according to her family's records), so his is taken to be
accurate as well. In the 1880 census of Shelby Co, AL, my JHR CARDEN, son
of JAMES & POLLY CARDEN, gave his parents POB as F- NC & M- SC.

I do have the name of James CARDEN, Sr. who in fact married an Elizabeth
FULLER. The James I have in my files does not have a "B" like the James
in your query.
