Thank you.
My sources for Zarrel's surname are (1) an account of her family written by my
great-grandmother, Eudora Lee FULLER (daughter of Mary Ann PILGREEN and Thomas Leonidas
FULLER. Mary Ann was the daughter of Jane CARDIN and Zarrel PILGREEN.) Surely Eudora
would have known her mother's maiden name! (2) Thomas L. Fuller's WBTS pension
application, which included an affidavit from his brother-in-law PILGREEN (I'm not
near my records right now, so I don't have the first name.) (3) a Logan County, AR
history book that lists Zarrel Pilgreen as the county treasurer for a few years.
Fortunately, I bought Chuck's CARDEN in America at the Carden reunion in Virginia
last year. It is good.

Robin -
I have posted the following to the message board to which sjcampbell posted
his query about James Carden/Cardin and Charity Rutland.
The book CARDEN IN AMERICA by Chuck Carden lists the following children of
James Carden and Charity Rutland -
- Carden born before 1805 in Fairfield County,
Jane Carden b 1805 in Fairfield County, m 1830, Alabama, Zarrel Green.
Larkin Carden, b about 1808 in Fairfield County, m Martha Elizabeth
Honeycutt.
James Carden, b about 1810 in Fairfield County. James Cardin b 1813 served
in the Mexican war.
William C Carden, m Mary C Terry.
Lucy Carden, m John Ford.
Adeline Catherine Carden, m (I) Joseph A Hodge (ii) Andrew Cosby.
Young L Carden, b about 1821 in Georgia.
The book has a great deal of information in addition to the above. It can be
obtained from
www.lulu.com (put CARDEN) in the search box.
Good hunting!

Chuck has the same error about Zarrel Green/Pilgreen, it appears. His full
entry for Jane is: Jane Carden, born 1805 in Fairfield County, South
Carolina. She married on 5 Mar 1830 in Perry County, Alabama by Joseph
Martin, JP Zarrel Green. Notes: Jane’s marriage bond is dated 3 March 1830
and the return is dated 5 March 1830 by Joseph Martin, JP. Zarrel and Lucy
are on the 1830 Census. He is listed between 20 and 30, and she is between
15 and 20. They reside next door to her father James. James Cardin was born
in South Carolina in 1813. He was thirty-three when he enlisted. [1860
Census of Perry County, Alabama, p. 696]
