Since my query regarding Cornelius CARMACK's birthdata and wife Guin's maiden
name
brought so little response, I decided to search the Web for "Cornelius
Carmack."
It turned up several charts of descent from Cornelius I. Only one of them had
much in the way of notes, but there were quite a few disagreements in the data.
The one with extensive notes was based for the most part on information from the
book, THE CARMACK FAMILY GENEALOGY, by Charles Peckham, Sr. I have not seen or
heard of this book, but the researcher who posted the chart of descent evidently
believes that Cornelius I was born about 1681 in Cecil County, MD, the son of
Christopher Carmack, born about 1659 in Ireland, who arrived in America in 1678
along with 169 others, on the ship "St.George of London."
The same chart shows eight children of Cornelius I and Guin Corem CARMACK; most
others show only seven.
I would be interested to know if any of you readers know of the book mentioned
above and if you have any opinion on it.
There are quite a few more notes attached to the above descent chart, but I won't
quote them here for fear of running into copyright violation.
