Hi,
These names are familiar to me. I know they are in my same family tree. They
are mentioned several times in a Carden Family reunion book that's been kept
from 1925. From what I can tell, Frank J. and Martha Carden are the parents
with their children, Claire, Eunice, Edith, Wayne, Janet and Nena (and their
children) as you mention in your post.
From the info I have, Frank J. is probably the son of Francis W. (Frank)
Carden, who was married to a woman named Nena Mae. I'm just making a guess
because of the names involved- I don't have proof. Frank J. could also have
been the son of Willard, John or William Carden. Do you happen to know the
name of Frank J.'s father from your family relationships? If you do, that will
help me fill in some missing branches.
All of the men listed in the previous paragraph were sons of William Carden
and Isabella S. Miller, who were my ggg grandparents. I have lots of
information about the siblings names from that generation but don't details
for their subsequent family lines. I'd be happy to share what I do have with
you. Francis W. and Nena lived in Washington, D.C. and I show some evidence
that Frank J.'s family lived in Naperville, IL at one point.
In the family reunion book there are many mentions of letters being sent from
Frank and Martha to the rest of the family from Harlingen, TX. I have no idea
when they would have moved to TX. In later years it was the wife, Martha and
daugher Eunice that would send info for the reunion, including pictures and
other information about James and Edith Carden Crane (the missionaries).
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing!
Jerry Carden,
Urbana, IL
