i'm going to give this a shot and see if any of you can connect with this info.......
my gg-grandfather, John Carden , b. 1840 Polk Co. Tn. was married 4 times. his first wife
was Jane Parsons..........they were married 3-3-1861., Murray Co., supposedly according to
family lore there might have been at least one child by the time John enlisted the
4-1-1862 in the 22nd Ga. Inf.
he was captured at Gettysburg and spent the remainder of the war in a prsion camp in
Maryland. it's told that by the time he got home, his wife and child were no where to
be found....................did she give him up for dead and remarry or did she & the
child die? what happened to John's first family?............could some of the
Carden's in Ga. be related to my gg-grandfather?
John's parents were Reuben Carden and Rachel ( maiden name unk) Carden.
