Benjamin and Elizabeth Scrougs Carden lived in Beat 2, Russell Co, AL, in 1850. I see
Benjamin (younger) and Mary but not Elijah. There is an Eliza but shown as female born
about 1841 as she's 9 yrs old then. I can't seem to find where Elizabeth died,
but Benjamin (senior) married Jennetta Boyd on June 6, 1875, in Lee Co, AL, and is shown
with her in the 1880 census as husband and wife, his occupation is "miller."
I'm descended from one of their twin daughters, Jemima, b. 1853. I don't if
Elizabeth had died by then but Benjamin and Jennetta had twin girls in 1853 and a boy,
Nathaniel, in 1856. He finally married her in 1875. Jemima married Nicholas Greenberry
"Boss" Hearn and Julia married his brother, George Hearn. Jemima died in 1892
of a heart attack at age 39, pregnant with her 11th child. Boss Hearn remarried in 1895
to a Frances Elizabeth Carden (shown in 1900 census, Lee Co, AL). I've often wondered
where she fit in, if she was a cousin of Jemima's or what.
I hope somebody can help me fill in some blanks on all this.
