Greetings from Arizona:
Looking for any clue to Elizabeth Carlin b in Ireland ca 1780. She and her family came
sometime before 1796 on same boat from Ireland as her future husband, John Humes, whom she
wed in Philadelphia ca 1799. She died 1813-1815. Children: William, Maria, Louisa,
Julia, Elizabeth. At least one child born Harper's Ferry VA., others born (maybe)
Philadelphia or Henrico Co. VA. Any clues much appreciated. Family archives and lots of
research have traced the Humes, but aside from her name, nothing more known of Elizabeth
and the Carlins.
Do the names of her children offer any clues? Any Julia or Louisa in your Carlin lines?
Has anyone found the name Carlin mis-transcribed as Carl? (I found a marriage record of
an Elizabeth Carl & John Humes in Philly 1799. Right place, right time-frame, and
it's the only John Humes I can find in the marriage records. I know it's
unlikely, but I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be my Elizabeth Carlin?)
Without a doubt, this line has proven to be the biggest brick wall I' ve run into.
Any help much appreciated.
Joanne
