John's parents were Ruben Carden and Rachel ? , we've always been told that
John was born in Polk Co. Tn. around the Ducktown area and they are listed in the census
records of 1840 and 1850 but for some reason in some later census records his children
list him as being born in Ky.
the family moved from Polk Co. into Murray Co. Ga. after the 1850 census . one of
John's sisters is listed in Gordon Co. Ga. census in later years but died in Ky.
where another sister had moved years before .
John's father Rueben 's parents were Leonard Carden and Tabitha Peace Carden.
Reuben had a brother , John who married Elizabeth Grogan.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
