Evan Carmack was born 25 February 1740 (Old Style) in Prince George's
County, MD (Frederick Co did not yet exist). Evan & Mary were living in
Taney Town in the 1800 census of Frederick Co. They purchased a farm in
Bedford Co in December, 1803. They sold the farm to Catherine Carmack in
1810. Evan does not appear in the 1814 tax list.
He married Mary Wolfe, daughter of Paul & Margaret Wolfe. {Mary's
younger sister Sarah married Evan's brother John.} Mary was born c. 1743
in Frederick Co. She died after 1814 when she appeared on a tax list of
Bedford Co, PA. I have seen the date of 1805 for her before but I do not
know where that comes from. She signed the property sale papers in 1810
& appears in a tax list in 1814. Even assuming that source meant
western Virginia (West Virginia did not exist until 1863), it would
appear Mary Wolfe Carmack has been confused with another Mary Carmack.
Children:
1. Jacob (already discussed)
2. Peter born in Maryland, died presumably in Bedford Co, PA between
1814 (tax list) & 1820 (does not appear in census). I believe his wife
was Rosanna (who appears in the 1820 census) & not Susannah. According
to her children she was born in England or Scotland. Their son Daniel
was born in Frederick Co, MD in March, 1800; daughter Margaret was born
in PA c. 1806.
3. Elizabeth married William Dern on 12/30/1799 in Frederick Co, MD. She
was residing in MD in April, 1848.
4. Margaret married John Murphy. She was the only grandchild mentioned
in her Grandmother Margaret Wolfe's will dated 2/4/1779. She died before
1848.
5. Mary Ann married William Harin, died before April, 1848.
6. Sarah married John Grimes & died before April, 1848.
7. Catherine, died before 1848.
I have seen a Anna Carmack, wife of Nathan Hammond, listed as a daughter
of Evan & Mary but she is not mentioned in the petition of April, 1848.
She may have died without heirs before then.
This is what the petition to the Orphans Court of Bedford County, PA in
the April Term of 1848 had to say about Catherine & her siblings:
"Whereas, Uriah Rimbey, one of the heirs and legal representatives of
Catherine Carmack late of St. Clair Township, in the County of Bedford,
decd. presented a petition to the Orphans Court... {that Catherine} died
intestate, leaving no issue, but brothers and sisters and their children
to wit: Elizabeth Derrin, residing in Maryland, the issue of Jacob
Carmack... The issue of Peter Carmack decd... The issue of Mary Hann
decd... The issue of Margaret Murphy decd... and the issue of Sarah
Grimes decd..."
Hope that clears up some things on Evan & Mary Wolfe Carmack & their
children.

Karen,
Boy am I confused. Either I have a lot of this family wrong or I'm not understanding
the relationships in your email. The following is what I have on Evan and Mary's
family. I do not have a daughter Catherine. What else am I missing?
thanks,
