Because there is so much duplication for your family of names in my own Carley line, (I
descend from an Albert A. Carley who married a Hannah Covey in 1777 in NY and Barnums are
in their lines in CT) I had made a lot of notes RE your lines in my own notes - these are
a bit out of order and include messages sent to my by others in my line but I think
you'll get the gist of your own line from this:
Pioneer History of Clarksfield by Dr. F. E. Weeks
History of Huron County, Ohio
Mead-Clark Genealogy
Page 120 Ariel D. Gibson had been engaged to a girl in the east, Hannah Carley by name.
Ariel (went away on a trip) and while away, he and the girl were told that the other had
died. Then after he came here, he married Polly Mead and they lived in the house back of
the E. M. Barnum house. After a time Hannah Carley was visiting in this part of the state
and she and Gibson found out the deception which had been practiced and went west
together. Gibson's wife starved herself to death leaving a child, which the father
came and got afterwards. He died many years ago.

Haven-Carley. In Wakeman township( I think that that is Connecticut-not 100% sure), There
was an Albert Carley m. Rosanna Brown who d. @ age 30 in 1839. Albert was the S/o James A
Carley of Clarksfield. Albert had brothers, James R Carley and Harry M. Carley of Florence
who married Marie Norton______. Sorry but that is all I could find so far. B

Hey, Listen! I figured out something by reading a book! James A. Carley b.1806 in VT d.
1852 m. Nancy Kimball in Mass, was a blacksmith and did live for a while in the E. Barnum
house. This was in Clarksfield,Ohio!!!!! In the Western Reserve area of northern Ohio. He
had other children in addition to those which I already listed: John T., Charles of
Muncie,Ind., Caroline A., Coridon D., and three who died young(girls). All this is in that
part of Ohio
