Thanks Karen for the information on Joseph G. Carmack son of John Wesley
and Susan Carr Carmack.
My records show him as Joseph C. Carmack born February 15, 1841. died
November 1, 1875. Looks like his real name was Joseph Gatewood Carmack.
I didn't know he had went to school for the deaf and dumb.
Interesting information
Thanks, Carol
Subject: [CARMACK] Joseph G. Carmack of Erath Co, TX
There is a website named
www.deafbiographies.com that has, strangely
enough, biographical information on people who were deaf.
One of the people appearing in the database is Joseph Gatewood Carmack,
who was a student at the Texas Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, in
Austin, TX. He was admitted as a student on July 13, 1857, and was still
a student there in 1859. He was from Stephensville, Erath Co, TX.
I believe this is the son of John Wesley & Susannah Carr Carmack who was
born in Iowa in 1841. Joseph G. appears with John & Susan(nah) in the
1850 census of Fannin Co, TX, the 1860 census of Stephenville (as a
student), & the 1870 census living near Bosque Creek in Erath Co, TX. He
was listed as a farmer like his father. The census returns list him as
deaf and dumb.
